Gay Hendricks and Your Zone of Genius

Today, we’re lucky to have access to the wisdom of several authors, teachers, and coaches who’ve created huge shifts to the entrepreneurial mindset. 

But there’s no one quite like Gay Hendricks. 

The founder of the Hendricks Institute and the Foundation for Conscious Living, Gay has written more than forty books, coached Wall Street wolves and Hollywood royalty alike. 

He’s dedicated nearly 5 decades (!!!) of his life to making waves in the relationship and body-mind transformation sphere. 

His journey from Future Teachers Of America workshop-attendee to guesting on Oprah is remarkable. And he’s here to dissect all of that and then some for this week’s episode! 

Gay’s work is unprecedented, but he didn’t just have the answers handed to him. He did it all by celebrating his mistakes, asking good questions, and focusing on his sacred mission.

Here’s a gist of what you can expect from this week’s episode:

• Acknowledging your zone of genius and investing in its growth
• A peek into practical spirituality (ft. some great client experiences!)
• The importance of learning how to get your message across in bite-sized chunks
• A 2-minute breakdown of his bestseller, The Big Leap
• The magic of listening well
• A self-appreciation “homework” assignment that we all need to try out ASAP
• Gay’s thoughts on balancing your preexisting zone of genius and building a new skillset
• The psychology behind the fear of outshining other people
• What you can expect from Gay’s exciting new book The Genius Zone
• Where “loving your fear” can get you

If you’re ready to maximize your potential, this is your episode! Gay is a genuinely comforting presence with a warm sense of humour and a genuine eagerness to share his lessons with the world. We’re sure you’ll enjoy listening to him as much as we did!

So cozy up, tune in, and get ready to say yes to your genius!
