Tienne M

Title 1

My name is Tienne McKenzie; I have four kids and work as a paralegal at my husband’s law firm. We provide estate planning, estate administration, and small business services. I also volunteer with my kids’ scouting troops and in my community.
My schedule has always been a mess; full of events and commitments with little to no time for myself. I was running myself ragged, feeling pulled in all directions, forgetting to do things until the last minute, missing appointments, but also wasting hours at a time on things that weren’t important, like scrolling the internet or watching TV. Afterwards, I’d feel like a complete failure, comparing myself to my friends who were able to take care of their homes and families and have successful careers, too. Yet I didn’t know how to say no or clear my schedule so I had more time. No matter what I did, at the end of the day I felt like I hadn’t accomplished what I should have.
I didn’t understand how the things that kept me busy achieved my goals. I kept fixating on what I wasn’t accomplishing rather than seeing how my priorities fit together. I would take on responsibility because I felt like I had to do something, and although it was fulfilling in some respects, it was stressing me out because I couldn’t be everywhere and do everything. If I turned down a commitment, I felt that I was letting people down. Yet with so much to do, I always felt behind and overwhelmed.

The immediate change I had was in my perspective on what was important in my life. I had never mind-mapped my life before to concretely lay out what mattered to me and determine how it fit together. The biggest realization was that I wanted to volunteer with my kids’ activities because I wanted to be involved in their achievements. It seems like such an obvious thing, but I truly hadn’t thought about it as a part of the overall goal of my life (to be a positive influence in my children’s growth.) Once I discovered that I actually WANTED to volunteer, making time for it in my schedule became a joy rather than a burden. In addition, mind-mapping all my activities increased my motivation for things that I previously dreaded. I would look at my weekend and think, UGH, prepping meals and cleaning are so boring, why don’t I ever have time to read and watch TV? Mind-mapping showed me that the weekend prep enabled me to accomplish more on my weekdays, so I could read or relax in a way that felt satisfying and not a “guilty pleasure” rife with regret and negative emotions.

I am so glad I took this course. The change in my attitude and outlook is a gift that Stephanie and Cosimo gave not just to me, but my family as well. Thank you for this life-changing work!

I have been a business owner for nearly 15 years, and I’m always looking for ways to improve my process, my personal development and my brand. When I first came across Genius in 21Days, I was looking for a method to help me become more targeted with goals and achieve the desired results…. At the time, I was working 80 plus hours per week, and wasn’t seeing the results I felt should come with level of effort I was working.

I’ll be honest, I was a bit skeptical that Genius in 21 Days could work for me and my specific needs, but I’m open minded and decided to try it out for myself (the money back guarantee helped also helped take some the risk out of it).

Since taking the course, I have definitely noticed a positive difference; I learned a method that helps me create more specific goals and a realistic way to manifest them. It has helped me become a better consultant by focusing more on my process instead of just closing sales thanks to the mindmap. As a business owner, I would highly recommend this course which will not just help you with your professional goals but in your personal life as well. Please don’t just take my word for it; take the course and see what a positive impacts it can have for you!

I have found more time to focus on my business but also on myself… I have not only created a better method to be more productive but I’ve also incorporated this same system into my personal life.

Hi, I am Maureen. I am a the CEO of Radiant Mourning. I consult with individuals to get their end-of-life wishes decided, documented , and discussed with those that matter most to them.
I have struggled with retaining information that I read and staying organized. When I am giving presentations I have to read and re-read information to make it stick in my brain. This has been really frustrating to me. On the organization and business structure aspect of my business, I have worked with business coaches and have general systems in place and they stick for a short time. I felt like there wasn’t a good solution for me and I would just muddle through and I wasted a lot of time in my day.
I would get frustrated that I wasn’t completing as much as I knew I could accomplish. I felt scattered. My work would run over into my family and free time that I had scheduled. I was getting burned out.
After taking the Genius in 21 Days course I am more organized, my retention is improved and I am beginning to learn a new language. I have uncovered learning blocks and am implementing new strategies such as MindMap for more effective and efficient work flow and learning. I believe anyone can benefit from this course. Also, thanks to the memory techniques I can retain speeches faster It has been a game changer!

Taking the Genius course has been a great investment for my life. I have learned so many valuable skills that I can apply to my everyday and also business.
I love how personalized to my specific way of learning it has been.
I feel like I have untapped a part of my brain that I didn’t know was there. So far I have been able to apply Mindmap to my daily and business life to organize and brainstorm new ideas. These have been helpful in creating new systems and keeping me organized and accountable.

I’ve also learned a new and very much improved way of learning new words on a different language. I love the memory techniques, In under ten minutes I was able to learn 20 new words in Spanish related to my business. Something that probably would have taken me more like two hours previously to this course!
I am so happy I invested in myself by taking the Genius in 21 days course, I know I will only continue to benefit from it!!

I’m a nutritionist and spend a lot of my time reading research, taking continuing education, and trying to remember facts that are important for my clients to know.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a slow reader, to the point that other staff members at my old job made comments about it in a staff meeting. I would take copious notes in my continuing education classes, sometimes transcribing the whole lesson because I didn’t want to miss any details. And I was in a permanent state of overwhelm, which spiraled me into lack of confidence, which sucked my energy dry, meant I procrastinated about everything, and ended up with crappy results. I was constantly running late on every project, stressing myself out more, which made my memory even worse.

The course with Genius in 21 days was amazing. I was dreading sitting through 27 hours of lessons, but Stephanie and Cosimo are such great teachers. They understand how we all learn, so the curriculum met all of our educational needs. We were all engaged, and the three days flew by. The personal mentoring is incredible. I come away feeling so encouraged, creative, and optimistic.

In the last month, Genius in 21 days has helped me increase my reading speed by 5x, and my retention has skyrocketed. The mind maps help me organize my thoughts and my business. If I feel overwhelmed by a project, I reach for my “unblock” strategies and put them to use. I’m calmer, happier, and so much more productive. It’s only been a month! I can’t wait to see the impact on the rest of my year, and I can’t wait to take Genius 2.0 in the fall!

I can’t say enough good things about the Genius Course. It was fantastic! Before the course I was struggling with memorizing speeches and presentations and relying heavily on my notes. I was also having trouble remembering names.
I was frustrated by my inability to retain information that I’d written. When I spoke in public I always used notes and this prevented me from fully connecting with my audience. I knew I could be a better speaker if I could remember my speech!
After the course and the mentoring sessions, I was able to effortlessly learn and retain a 45 minute keynote. I also started to re-learn Spanish and learned 100 new words in four days–something I never could have imagined possible before the course. I feel invincible now that I know I can easily remember and learn anything I want–including my credit card numbers and the number of my driver’s license. This course changed my life in so many positive ways and I am extremely happy with the results.
Thank you Cosimo and Stephanie for helping me become a Genius. It didn’t take 21 days. It took a weekend! You guys rock!!

Alfred R

Hello, I’m Alfred and I am a college administrator, adjunct university professor, and business owner.
Besides previous work experience, I have over 20 years of experience in higher education and I understand the importance of effective learning strategies. The course provides new and critical learning methods and tools that we never “learned” in traditional classrooms. I’m applying what I’ve learned and I am committed to practicing these new skills in my personal and professional life.

With everything going on, I had difficulty organizing my time running from meeting to meeting and changing pace from administrator to professor, and doing all the other things I want. I wanted to read, research, and remember things. In addition, I really wanted to improve my communication skills and recall data and details. I was disengaged because I was nervous and anxious due to a lack of preparation. I would rely on hoping that I would be able to get by instead of being prepared to speak and contribute more. I would go into situations with a lack of confidence because my internal voice was reminding me that I didn’t know and didn’t prepare.

By realizing my learning style, I am more confident in understanding more about how I learn and allows me to focus my time. I use the tools to take better notes for my meetings (which I have 2-5 daily) and I recall what I need to. I have been efficient in my preparation for my class which has relieved me of any stress. I am able to read much faster. I am improving my memory in each and every way.

Stephanie and Cosimo are AWESOME!!!

Sharon L

I’m Sharon. I am a business coach with my own business. Small business owners often don’t have anyone to talk to about their business. I provide space and time to learn, discuss ideas and create plans for the business. This allows the owner to get out the day to day details and think about the big picture to develop their business.
I am constantly learning to support my clients and I would find that concepts just don’t stick. I felt like I was wasting a lot of time re-learning things that I’d already covered. I also give educational presentations to support my local community and for marketing. Remembering the content without notes has been a challenge. There are a lot of other new things that I’d like to try but I haven’t had the confidence to get started.
I felt I was wasting my time with business books because I’d need to read them again every time I wanted to refer to them. For the presentations, there is the fear of screwing up publicly by forgetting my key points or losing my train of thought. I loved mindmaps and memory techniques to improve my effectiveness.
I have more confidence that I will be able to learn and retain information on the first pass making tackling a new topic less frustrating. Overall, the increased confidence in what I can accomplish has given me energy to try new things.
Genius in 21 Days shed new light on how we learn and that there are alternative approaches to accomplish what we want.

Hi! I am Carol Johnson with Successful Solutions. I am a life coach who works with single moms to create a life that allows them to take care of themselves and support their family.
I was struggling with remembering things and staying on task. I knew what I wanted to do but didn’t make it a priority. I allowed myself to get distracted.
I often let things fall off my plate because I didn’t have a system to write down my thoughts and create a plan.
After the course, I felt really good about myself. I was able to remember names and numbers. I also learned how to read strategically with speed reading strategies which will allow me to get through more books, and help more clients. Best of all, I was able to start the process of creating a course that I have been talking about for years! I am now feeling empowered and ready to change the lives of others.
Thank you Cosimo and Stephanie! I am so excited to have meet you!! You have made me a better person.

Andrew C

This course was rocket fuel for my personal and professional growth!

As a small business owner, I get pulled in 100 different directions and it’s a constant struggle to stay focused, stay on task, and make consistent progress daily. I’m a pretty dedicated and motivated person, but I was missing out on a few key techniques and methods to make my life easier.

The initial review process opened my eyes to the fact that I’m only about 20% efficient with my time and there’s so much more I can accomplish. As a father of 3 little kids, maximizing time for work and for play is critical. Stress is constant and fight between growing my business and enjoying time with my family always left me exhausted at the end of the day. This course seemed like a great fit for me and looking to better myself, I jumped in full force!

The course was truly practical, where we were putting everything we were learning immediately into practice to maximize retention. Obviously it’s a full commitment of time for a weekend course but the benefits are well worth the investment I put into the process!

Going through this course was a transformational experience. Personally, it gave me lots of tools to improve how I learn and retain just about everything in my daily life. The key for me and my small business centered around the methods and techniques to organize, systematize, and scale on a consistent, sustainable basis. For this reason I love mindmaping. I can honestly say the $ commitment and 3-day time investment I put into this course for myself, my family, and my business will easily provide me with a 100X multiple return.

This course is about Leveling Up and bettering yourself personally and professionally, all condensed into a 3-day, full-immersion that will yield returns for years to come.
