Silence: That Power Tool for Problem-Solving in Business (and the rest of your life)

 You are notified that you are laid off.

You didn't receive the promotion you worked so hard for.

After four interviews the company is ghosting you.

Therefore, you are as the saying goes Shocked into Silence. That's the silver lining in a reversal of fortune, disappointment, and uncertainty. And the Tarot's High Priestess Card opens the portal to how you can begin listening to the messages of the universe.

As Kim Huggens explains in the Complete Guide the Tarot Illuminati:

"Perhaps this takes the form of simply listening to another person, listening to one's inner voice, listening to one's intuition, or instinct, listening to silence ..."

In that pause can come unique Ah-Ha moments or epiphanies. That kind of insight often isn't available in the noise of routine - and the usual noise in our heads (Buddhists call that "monkey mind"). 

It is interesting to note that in a seminal interview with SuperLawyers, Brad Karp, chairman of prominent law firm Paul Weiss, shared this: Often the way he can solve clients' complex problems is his focusing on them in the solitude and quiet of the night.

In itself that problem-solving ability has enabled him, amid the dog fight for new business in the legal sector, to bring in 20 accounts each year. Since he has been chairperson since 2008, it sure seems like his track record so far is 280 new clients. Incidentally, Karp's branding is "calm." Because of that gift he can tame client angst. Businesses go to a prominent defense firm because the stakes are high, either in litigation or transactions. As a mentor to young lawyers, Karp passes on the lesson of listening.

The good news is that you can pass through that gateway to reflection without a triggering event.

Meditation, even a few minutes a day, slows down the monkey mind. The mantra can be: I surrender to the universe.

From the beginning of civilization, philosophies, faith-healing, religions, spiritual practices, and back in the 1930s 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous have championed the power of silence. Out of the blue (as the Ace cards in the Tarot usher in) can arrive wisdom. Huggens hammers that wisdom begets wisdom. Yes, the insight once it begins rolling in is sustainable.
