Comments on Genius Coaching:

What our clients say about us:

Otto, I again have to tell you how much my life has changed for the better since I have worked with you. For so many years, when I encounted a new task for work , there was much fear and apprehension. The question was always, ” What if I am not good enough, what if I fail, I am not that smart, am I ?” and I could go on and on. With the shift in thinking that I learned from you, those questions no longer pop into my head. What does pop into my head now when I am faced with a new challenge is ” I can do this”, ” I AM intelligent or bright enough to handle this” …. and all of this now WITHOUT FEAR OR ANXIETY !!!! This is so huge for me . My life has always been laden with that coat of fear for any new task I faced . Always feeling that I was not good enough or smart enough. ( Have I said that more than a couple of times already ? ! ) You can see how this was an epidemic in my life but, the good news is , it is not an epidemic in my life any longer . Thanks to you Otto, I am fearless !!! I feel so strong and empowered. I am no longer that “milk toast” that my Dad used to call me with hopes that by him saying that it would toughen me up.

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the training/certification.

I especially want to thank you for your commitment to all of us that we be as great as we can be.  You inspired us all to go beyond what we think is possible and then to “stretch a bit more.”

Thanks again for your cheerleading, questions, and insight.  These are the tools that are creating the first steps on this exciting journey.

I wanted a change to occur. I was ready, anxious and impatient for that the happen. There is a process to go through for one’s genius to blossom. I did the hard work, the home work and at times it was painful. When I got clarity and wrote out exactly what I do, literally within minutes my phone rang with an opportunity.

During the writing of my Bio/Resume-Work History I evolved into what I am. The transformation happened from the head down into my gut. I could not write it until I believed in all my pores that I am a Business Upgrade Consultant.

My sessions with Otto were always focused times, thought provoking and two way conversations. He asked great questions and we always had a topic for our meeting. I especially liked getting a CD of our session right away so that I could listen to it over and over. This way I could hear his wisdom and guidance several times … a great learning tool.

I would highly recommend Otto from Genius Coaching to anyone who is ready to make a change. And by ready, I mean really ready to go deep, listen, ask the hard questions and commit to changing.

In my first session with Otto I stated what I wanted to get out of my coaching, the list seemed unattainable but he asked me to be bold and brave!

1. To be a positively impactful leader
2. To acquire and develop my listening skills
3. To become a secure leader who empowers others.
4. To develop my time management skills and prioritizing
5. Balance work and like.

I am in ahhhh that not only have I acquired these goals, some I have mastered! The tools that I have been given to continue on my journey of excellence as a leader has been priceless. I cant express how I appreciate Otto’s way of coaching you along to find the answers within…what a gift!
Thank you Otto for coaching and inspiring me to create a new life…Karly Inc. You have given me a new found confidence!

I had dropped out of high school over 54 years ago because I had to go to work. Now in my 72th year I felt I needed a new career.

I didn’t have a lot of confidence and faith in myself that I could go to school again. You made me feel confident. Coaching with you was a real boost for me to get me out of the sphere of failure and the exercises for my brain you did with me helped me focus much more and feel much less overwhelmed. They were really, really great.

The big realization for me was that after spending about 6 months with you and learning what I did, I now have to PRACTICE all that I learned. What makes it difficult is that after 50 years of listening to my inner terrorist I must consciously make an effort to replace that negativity with the positive self talk. That is the hard part because it is so easy to slip back into the old behavior patterns. Being self aware is definitely the key. Also, it helps when one is NOT tired and stressed. Then it is easier to catch these issues.

I did have a slight melt down while in OKC. Thank goodness Larry knows me so well and can help me get back to real reality. I remember him saying to me “Have you forgotten all you have learned from Otto ? Joanne, get in touch with the real you. You have the tools, you can do this, but you need to make sure you are getting enough rest “I had been putting in 10 to 12 hours a day. That was not helping. As I was trying to figure out why I was pushing myself so hard, I called my friend Annie to see if she could advise. As usual, she was able to help. She said to me “Joanne, it is alright to “put the ball down “and walk away. You can still be successful if you stop and put the ball down. It will be there tomorrow. Sometimes we think if we work as hard as we can, that will guarantee us success. That is not true. It is OK to put the ball down.” I thanked Annie for her words of wisdom.

Finally, I remembered that I had taken a copy of my Genius Profile with me. As I started reading it again, I was reminded of what I am capable of and what I can do. I now make it a point of reading my Genius Profile every day. I need this kind of reinforcement to keep me on top of my game. I have also (AGAIN) learned that Self Care is SO important. I deserve the luxury of taking care of myself the way I need to. This in turn helps me and then allows me to help others while in a good frame of mind.

I have another challenge coming up. I will have a little over a week to look at new curriculum for the first DSU (Direct Sales) class in OKC. As I write this, I can already feel my throat tighten up but…. I KNOW I can ace this! I am going to arm myself this time, with all the tools and insights you have given me Otto. I will be keeping track daily of how I do because I do not need or want another meltdown. They are not fun!! I will also be staying the full 3 weeks in OKC so I can stay focused and actually relax on the weekends instead of coming home. That traveling back and forth takes its toll.

I am still waiting that “something” would breakthrough in December. I have had a vision of myself standing behind a large curtain of paper, and then breaking through it into the wide open spaces. Well, I am waiting for the wide open spaces!!!

Through Otto’s straight feedback, encouraging loving words and unusual body based genius-concept I was able in just four sessions of 30 minutes to:

1. Let go of my resistance against my own genius and the fact that I am an amazing gifted, talented special human being

2. Deepen the appreciation and love for myself and what I created in my life (my fulfilled marriage, my gifted kids, my passionate business, my beautiful home…)

3. Allow myself to trust my gut and step out of the old paradigms of marketing and sales I struggled with for so long, trying to fulfill expectations I always felt intuitively were wrong

4. Start training my attention to focus on my own real feelings inside my body instead of getting forth to listen to my critical doubting shattering mind

5. Make the executive decision to never again struggle with money but rather allow money to flow into my life as a beautiful reflection of the genius I am, not worrying what to do next but rather focusing on enjoying my new intense relaxed way of being.

Thank you Otto for all of these gifts.

I love this book (‘Yes, You Are a Genius’). I could not put it down until I had consumed every word. The simplicity with which Otto and Susanna take the concept of genius away from the exclusive realm of the very few, and make it available to each individual, is genius itself’

Within five minutes I was able to see the light regarding a small guide I had created. Otto’s and Susanna’s vision is clear and concise and they opened my mind to a world of possibilities I hadn’t thought of before! Literally all of this happened in the span of five minutes. Imagine what 20-30 minutes or an hour with this material must be like! I believe their work will help many people become millionaires. Truly, their work is GENIUS!

The work with you had allowed me to really focus on my exceptional talents that you helped me unfold. As a result of your work I found my last few months at Per-Se much more rewarding. As you know, I’m leaving to pursue a new chapter in my life and I know that the insights gained as a result of your coaching allowed me to embrace the possibilities and make this a reality.
