CISOs: Discover the Genius That Travels With You

What is Personal Genius?

Personal Genius LX—part of Leadership Core series—uncovers the qualities that stay with you, always, everywhere.

Personal Genius isn’t about piling on skills or checking off tests. It’s about uncovering the deep, portable qualities that make you you—the instincts, frames, and signature “wow” moves that show up no matter the stakes.

This isn’t translation. It isn’t résumé polish. It isn’t mimicry. It’s the essence of your leadership—your genius in the Greek sense: a guiding spirit, a way of being that shapes how you lead, decide, and influence.

Why Personal Genius Matters

  • Enduring: Skills fade. Contexts shift. Genius travels with you.

  • Influential: When you lead from genius, trust and followership come naturally.

  • Grounded: Your principles—not passing trends—guide decisions under pressure.

  • Liberating: You stop trying to fit leadership molds and start leading from what only you can bring.

How It Works

  1. Origins Interview —We uncover formative patterns—your “that changed me” moments and natural ways of seeing the world.

  2. Distillation — From stories to principles. Your portable rules of thumb take shape.

  3. Signature Plays — Principles become repeatable moves—small, specific actions that shift influence and clarity.

  4. Field Rehearsal — You test your plays in real conversations. We refine until your genius is clear, usable, and felt.

Deliverables
