Turning Intuition into Action: Guide Clients with Every Step of Your Process

In any program or transformational experience, the goal is to guide people to results by clearly surfacing our internal methods and processes. But where I see many course creators struggle is by only sharing parts of that process. This happens when they leave out steps—things they take for granted or consider so natural that they don’t think twice about them.

Here’s what I mean: what feels like “intuition” to you is actually a rapid series of small decisions that leads to an outcome.

While the process may seem obvious, skipping these micro-steps for your learners can feel like jumping from step 1 to step 3, or step 7 to step 11. As a result, they get confused about where to go next.

Our job is to bring those little details to the surface and walk people through each step.

I often see this happen when creating a course with a tangible outcome, like building a guide, designing a page, or creating a mood board. Your internal process might look like this: brainstorm ideas, cast a vision, gather resources, narrow them down, and then create the final product. Yet along the way, crucial steps are often skipped.

For instance, during brainstorming, you might forget to explain how to organize the ideas, where to store them, or how to capture the data to use later.

In the narrowing-down step, you might miss sharing the criteria for choosing the most valuable elements.

And in the final output, you might skip the specifics on how to organize or build step-by-step.

These tiny skipped steps often contain the hidden gems that make a huge difference. You might think, “They don’t care about my system for organizing Pinterest boards or how I decide if a photo works”—but they do care. That’s what helps your learners connect the dots so they can fully implement what they are learning from you.

Your learners want to move from A to B, but they’re likely getting lost in the broader brainstorming, envisioning, or finalizing stages because they’re missing these small, foundational steps.

Creating a powerful learning experience means leaving no stone unturned. With a clear, detailed roadmap that includes each micro-step, it’s easy for your people to follow the action steps you’ve laid out. That’s how you guide them seamlessly through the process, step by step.
