Who?

Hey there! I’m Genevieve, a communication expert dedicated as an FACILITATOR, PRESENTER, and ACTOR in diverse contexts. My journey kicked off on the trading floor, just before the global financial crisis turned everything upside down, sending me on an adventure in France.

As I explored my identity, I discovered that it’s all about recognizing what we struggle with and how we want to show up in the world. My dream? To be front row at Paris Couture Fashion Week next to Anna Wintour. That aspiration led me to dive into film and TV, where I really learned the POWER of PRESENCE through the art of PLAY.

Your presence is your unique magic—YOUR SPECIAL SAUCE. This is what drives me: helping others find their own special sauce, their PRESENCE, through the transformative POWER of PLAY.

Along the way, I’ve teamed up with some incredible female-identifying professionals who are just as passionate about facilitating growth in our three key areas at the Presence Studio:

  • VOICE

  • MOVEMENT

  • IMPROVISATION

Together, we’re all about empowering people to express their AUTHENTIC SELF.

  1. Play fuels authentic relationships: Research shows that freedom and fun in play support authentic relationships and encourage "out-of-the-box" decision-making by leaders.

  2. Fostering inclusivity and challenging biases: We create environments where diverse segments unite, collaborate, and challenge unconscious biases and racism, leading to deeper understanding and more effective solutions.

  3. Inspiring creativity and innovation: We inspire people to think, move, and feel more creatively, helping them deliver real, innovative solutions for customers.

  4. Building confidence in conversations: We cultivate confidence for people from all walks of life to engage in meaningful conversations in a low-pressure, high-energy environment.

  5. Increasing connection and collaboration: By enhancing listening and encouraging intuitive, brave conversations, we foster more collaborative behaviors within teams.

  6. The 360-degree influence: Your presence doesn't just influence the team— it creates a sense of ease that helps move strategies in an organic and impactful direction.
