📰Hot off the Press

This week's News

📌The Website has been updated! A new theme makes it easier to navigate articles and topics. I am in the process of reformatting those topics with appropriate tags and it's already feeling so much airier here at EDGx365.

Posts will also now feature easily navigable Table of Contents. (I will update older posts as I am able.)

📌EDG Coaching became EDGx365 in January with a complete brand redesign.

EDG Coaching Undergoes Brand Redesign

I have been known to jump ship and change course on a dime. I am an ideaphoric and multi-passionate after all. This time, however, I considered what a rebrand would mean for my business so soon out of the gate. Here are my changes and supporting thoughts.

💭This Week's Inspiration

Inspired by Genius. Inspired by YOU!

Partial article found here. 🔗 provided below to continue reading the original post! I hope you will. It's GOOD!

💭You are a Genius

Genius is one of those words that society has reserved for those other people. Not you and me. But like so many societal "norms" they've got this one wrong.

Genius, like I said in my introduction, is in all of us. If that makes you a little uncomfortable, please keep reading.

💭So what exactly is Genius?

The word genius comes from the root *gene-, meaning "to give birth," in other words, to create. The same root forms the words genie*, generate, engine, among many others, and associated with the Arabic djinn and jinn, from where we get our word Genie. Etymonline says the similarity to genius is accidental but I heartily disagree, as I'll explain below.

The word Genius, itself means "tutelary or moral spirit who guides us through life," a generative power, or inborn nature. Can you see now how we all have it? Let's explore another word to expand on our Genius!

Genius is also a translation or synonym for the Greek word Daimon. It is the same word that gives us the modern word demon... 😮

<continued on website. See You Might Not Think So, But You Are a Genius below. (‼️You'll want to keep reading this! It's important...)>

You Might Not Think So, But You Are a Genius

Why is it that we have such a struggle with the word Genius? It’s much easier to apply the term to someone else, and yet there’s also a desire to be seen for our own expression of Genius. What is Genius anyway??

🥳Featured Genius - Jill Brown

Going Deeper with Jill Brown

You may have met her in a series of podcast episodes, and if you did, you'll know she is definitely worth knowing on a deeper level. For me, she is the epitome of Mozart's quote above. "Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius."

Jill Brown exudes a quiet wisdom, but beneath that calm exterior is an insatiable and curious energy combined with a deep love for adventure, what she calls a need for ZOOM. She seems to have integrated her own paradox quite well!
