even breaking a sweat.

And yet even without psychic powers, we can often do a fair job of predicting the future. Given that what will happen next is basically just the result of everything that is happening now, our intuition can help us greatly, if we let it. And there is an argument, explored by writer James Surowiecki in his book The Wisdom of Crowds, that the actions and decisions of great numbers of people, working in concert, can be an uncannily good predictor of future trends. So the power may be within all of us, to some extent, and perhaps all that is required is some effective way to tap into it.

5) Mediumship: this is the ability, professed by a certain class of psychic practitioner, to be able to converse with the spirits of departed people - a medium at work might thus have the opportunity to speak directly with the shades of any number of famous, influential and knowledgeable men and women from past ages. A soldier might converse with Julius Caesar, an archaeologist with Helen of Troy, a legislator with Confucius; each of them would thereby gain valuable information, advice and inspiration.

However, visualisation techniques can also serve to bring us into close contact with our heroes and role models from the past. Win Wenger, author of The Einstein Factor, recommends that we assemble in our minds a team of inspiring people from all epochs of history (building on Napoleon Hill's "Mastermind Alliance" concept), and consult them when we face life's challenges and dilemmas. An active and trained imagination is the key. And even without using this kind of procedure, we can greatly benefit from the wisdom and example of the people who went before us, by reading their biographies and autobiographies; from their printed words, the inspirational dead can still speak to us, if we will listen.

In conclusion, if there were people out there who had genuine and reliable psychic abilities, they would surely be in a position to take the business world by storm, and consistently out-perform their psychically talentless co-workers. Alas - I suspect that you, gentle reader, are very likely to be as completely non-gifted in the psychic department as me, and that we will never, it seems, enjoy such an advantage.

However, I hope I have shown that there are plenty of skills, techniques and sensitivities available to us that should more than make up for our lack of hypothetical psychic talent. What you and I need to do is bestir ourselves and start to develop and use our intuition, our ability to decode body language, our influencing skills, our unconscious minds and our superb powers of imagination - and then we too can make it all happen.
