The Genieus team story
“What’s your story?” is usually Genie Snyder’s opening ask on the stage, entering a room or over dinner. Another human’s experience or organizational story keeps her curious. From this point, she has built a strong coaching and consulting practice across business, industry and higher education by asking questions, sometimes asking the hard questions to inspire critical action.
As an executive coach, she goes way beyond small talk.
​
How are you ...
rethinking something?
leading differently?
managing through a struggle?
working to achieve something big?
communicating meaningfully up & down in the organization?
engaging with people with a diverse (different from you) perspective?
She goes for the big talk. And through her career, Genie is grateful that her paths crossed the work of experts, focused, yet diverse, in their fields. These people have a common thread. They genuinely all strategically guide people and organizations to move with intention. One person can’t know it all. One team can’t know it all. But the connection of seriously innovative experts can ask a lot of questions. Together with clients, they figure out the next best steps.
We're a team of collaborative experts energized when we are elbow to elbow with leaders and when with teams digging through strategies.
At our core, we are People + Process.
​
Oh sure, we have a lot of degrees and extensive higher education experience, but our first love is lifelong learning & gaining uncommon knowledge on the ground, in the trenches, on the front row - wherever you live and work.
​
We have experience with a plethora of clients in a diversity of industries, companies, & institutions. The transforming experiences of layering what we learn from one client or process builds even more strategically on how we serve the next.
And we trust the next client is you.
​
We listen to you first to make sure we connect you with the best match for your current conundrum.
