Oprah Winfrey, 72, oozed with palpable energy in a gray dress and round-framed glasses under the bright but warm lights, and warm was the welcome, too, of the thousands in attendance at the Helsinki Expo and Convention Center: businesspeople in suits and dresses, excited in their seats to hear what the legendary talk show host and journalist, Oscar-nominated actress and film producer, philanthropist and educator, had to say.

One message she repeated was: trust your GPS.

Whenever she ignored it, things went wrong, or she had to take a long, winding detour.

We are talking about another word for intuition here, just to be clear.

Here’s another one: the best ideas are born in the hot tub. Sitting there, mind wandering, the answer arrives in silence.

But it doesn’t have to be a tub. Oprah was well aware that Finns love saunas, so sitting in the sauna could have the same effect as well. Skip the beer and use the time to think and meditate.
