Are there people who have genuine psychic abilities? I'm fascinated by this subject and would love to think so, although I'm really still a bit of a sceptic at heart. Scientific proof of extra-sensory perception is rather thin on the ground, it must be said; however, there are indeed a number of cases which continue to puzzle and perplex, so there might possibly be something in it, after all.

And if there actually were people who were gifted with psychic talents, would they have an edge over the rest of us, in the arena of the workplace? Yes, I think they definitely would have an advantage, and I will go on to explain how. On the other hand, there are plenty of excellent skills and techniques we non-psychics could use, in order to stack the odds in our favour, and I shall describe some of these, as well.

Let's look at five specific psychic abilities, and at how each might be deployed in the world of work.

1) Clairvoyance: this word comes from the French, meaning "clear visibility", and it involves being able to view information unavailable to the physical eyes. It is said that someone with this ability can gain mental impressions of hidden objects and also images held in the minds of other people. In the workplace, a clairvoyant might be able to read the contents of sealed envelopes or the secrets of computer hard drives, and a clairvoyant detective would have an immense natural advantage, being able to glean huge amounts of vital evidence from the faintest of clues.

However, we non-psychics have a rather underrated ability called intuition, which can be nurtured and developed until it is able to achieve quite startling results. We receive far too much information, every second of the day, to process consciously; the majority of our sense impressions are absorbed by our unconscious minds, completely unbeknown to us. However, we can learn to relax and trust in the fact that we "know" something without yet being aware of it. In the workplace, this might manifest as a "gut feeling" about a colleague or a business deal, which turns out to be uncannily accurate, even though consciously we have had limited information to go on.

2) Seeing auras: the word "aura" comes from the Greek word for "breeze" or "air", and it describes a ghostly nimbus of light surrounding a living person. Many psychics claim to be able to sense this, and tell us that the specific colour of each aura reflects that person's current emotional state. How useful that would be! A psychic worker would
