Genius

The Genius We Can’t Always See

For the last thirty minutes, I got caught in a vortex of beauty and magic—
Watching Kennedy Center Honors performances on YouTube.

Heart performing “Stairway to Heaven.”

The music, the power, the reverence—it moved me.
You can see the genius of the performers shining on stage.

Like many of my clients, I’m drawn to excellence—not just in what’s visible but also in what’s supported behind the scenes.
This is true in careers too.

Your genius may not be center stage,
But it quietly shapes the world around you.

What you don’t see in that video are all the people who made that moment possible:
The musicians.
The sound engineers.
The lighting designers.
The editors.
The team who filmed it.
The people who built YouTube.
The ones who manage the servers that let me stream the video.

Genius isn’t always what’s on stage.
It’s in the quiet contributions, the steady devotion, the unseen harmony.

The Gift of Seeing Genius

This is why I love what I do.
My work—is about helping people see their hidden genius.

It feels like I’m being let in on a sacred truth.
I open a client’s Gene Keys profile… and I pause.
My breath catches.
Tears rise.

I don’t just see patterns—I see a soul.
I see the brilliance they carry.
And I see the very real struggles they’ve moved through to carry it.

Struggle is Part of the Gift

In the Gene Keys, my Life’s Work includes the shadow of struggle.
And yes—I’ve struggled.
Sometimes, it feels like I’m bound in something I can’t escape.

But I’ve learned something:
Struggle shapes the gift.
It makes me strong.
It deepens my capacity to hold others.
It stretches me beyond the version of myself I used to be.

That’s the power of the Gene Keys.
They reveal how nothing in our path is wasted.
Even pain has a purpose.
Even tension can lead to transformation.

Sharing Our Genius Makes Life Better

The gift of knowing your genius is that you get to share it.
You touch lives.
You shift spaces.
You make the world more alive.

Just like the singers on that stage moved me—
So did the people we never see.
Each one helped create something transcendent.

We all have that ability.
Whether seen or unseen, your gifts matter.
And when you share them, —life gets better for all of us.

“Your genius is not something you create—it’s something you remember.”
— Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys
