As entrepreneurs, we’re living in a time when we get flooded, overwhelmed, and hit new heights of frustration or even fear. There is so much change, so much intensity and as humans we’re seeing a collapse of faith and institutions and movements for social change. It's enough to send highly sensitive people running for the hills.

Heather Dominick is both highly sensitive and highly successful. For more than a decade, she’s trained and mentored highly sensitive entrepreneurs (HSEs) and leaders so they are able to work less while making more impact and income. 
Highly sensitive people have a nervous system wired to take in stimulation at a much higher degree; they feel it more deeply. 

“For those of us who are highly sensitive entrepreneurs and leaders, we're going to take that feeling of a deep sense of challenge and rather than running from it or getting flooded and overwhelmed, we're going to rise to meet it,” says Heather. 

Heather outlines the top three strengths of an HSE. The first is intuition, which she describes as thinking of the nervous system like an antenna. When you’re trained, that access to stimulation isn’t only negative.

Heather trains leaders to intentionally use intuition, which knows three to six seconds ahead of your head what to do. When you can flex that muscle, you’ll be able to use it to support you in decision making and understanding what those you serve need.

The second main strength is empathy. Empathy is really being able to utilize a nervous system to have a clear, keen understanding of what another person is needing, when another person is feeling what another person is thinking.

And lastly, Heather groups three together – though they are each their own separate strength: deep thinker, deep feeler and deep listener. These are all systems that will support you when you it comes to setting up systems for operations, marketing, selling, and leadership.

One thing HSEs usually need to readdress is time. Heather refers to working with time as a relationship. Most of us are taught to manage time. But the 20% born into the world as highly sensitive, this strategy might not be effective. It tends to be too constrictive.

When you make that shift from “time is something that I have to manage”, to “time is something that I can relate with”, then it's about how you want to engage. For HSEs, the essence of successful relationships in any regard, time included, is what do you need to be at your best?

Discover if you need to, and then understand what your natural circadian rhythm is. Because if you take in stimulation at a much higher degree, and you take a time management system and kind of slap it on, and it doesn't work -- that's going to be massively overstimulating.

You're going to have to work extra hard to try to get something that's supposed to help you, to work for you. Versus if you understand your circadian rhythm, you’ll know when you work best. You can design your schedule and productivity around your circadian rhythm and take less time to actually create more.

And this will look different for every highly sensitive person. Heather has written a book, DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution, about how to understand your own rhythm and apply it to your day-to-day productivity. 

“When there is that opening, there is an access to creativity, inspired insights, and you can literally quote unquote get things done,” says Heather.
