Tis the season...?

As we bid farewell to another remarkable year, it is with great pleasure that we present the December edition of our company newsletter. At Genius Within we have been reflecting on the challenges overcome and the triumphs celebrated, we extend our deepest gratitude to each member of our community—employees, clients, and stakeholders—for their unwavering support.

In the spirit of the season, this newsletter brings you a festive blend of company highlights, employee spotlights, and a glimpse into our vision for the upcoming year. From the latest developments in our products and services to the heartwarming tales of community outreach, we invite you to join us in celebrating the successes that have shaped Genius Within in 2023. With the year drawing to a close, we look forward to the exciting opportunities that 2024 holds, and we are thrilled to have you by our side as we continue this journey together.

Employee Spotlight

Our success would not be possible without the passion and dedication of our exceptional team. Their hard work and enthusiasm continue to drive us forward, and we are incredibly grateful for their unwavering commitment.?We hope to shine a spotlight on the outstanding contributions of our employees by featuring a different member of the Genius Within team in each edition, asking them a couple of simple questions so you can get to know the faces behind the brand a little better!

What is your role at Genius Within?

My role at Genius Within is an Assistant psychologist and Case Manager for WaHP and Spot Purchase, which allows me to provide 121 coaching and group coaching sessions.

What is your favourite?thing about working for Genius Within?

Everyday is different, whilst the work is somewhat the same; everyday is a different client with a different story and I enjoy being able to hear about each story and supporting them on their journey.

What motivates you at work?

Although I work remotely, having a supportive team motivates me at work. Knowing that I have managers and colleagues I can turn to when I need support really helps to put me in a space to succeed in my role.

What is your favourite way to unwind after a day of work?

My favourite way to unwind after work is through a workout in the gym and then after, cooking dinner for my family.

Check out this segment in our newsletter each month. Kicking off in January, we will feature Jacqui Wallis, Genius Within CEO!

A space to thrive...?

At the Good Ship Genius, we love to help people tap into their strengths! A question that we like to ask is for?people to describe what they are like when they are working at their best. Because all brains are different some people will answer with a very straightforward list, while others may tap into a metaphor to describe their state. Having so many creative and visual thinkers on our team we decided recently to collate these and turn them into a social media campaign where we chose videos that matched the descriptions. Here is one of our favourites.

Why not think about what your answer would be? To see the full collection take a look at our Instagram page.?

Check out the Instagram reel here.

Image of a a Christmas tree with text reading 'When I am working at my best, I am like the conductor of a Christmas choir- each task a unique voice harmonising into a symphony of productivity'.

Do not forget to keep an eye on our social media channels for more?up-to-date information. If you want to talk to us more about what we do, you are always welcome to get in touch.

Have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year,

Gabby and the Marketing Team
