Talking Points

In conversation, I can support your audience in the following ways

How to Find Your Genius: Some people call it your “it factor” or “special sauce,” but I call it your genius. When you combine 3 to 5 innate gifts that work in synergistic conjunction with one another, you create a world-class expertise doing something only you can do.

How to Turn Your Genius into a Business, Career, or Side Hustle: Learn how to monetize what comes most naturally to you so that you can do more of what you love — more often. Even if it’s something small like volunteering on weekends or finding more ways to do your genius in your 9-5 so you can keep your job. No big, sweeping changes need. Unless you’d like them.

How to Ditch the Doubts That Hold You Back: Overcome fears like “I’m Not Good Enough” and “Somebody is Already Doing it Better Than Me, So I Can’t.” Plus, other worries like “I Can’t Make Money Doing That” and “I Need More Time, Experience, and Maybe Another Certification.”

Why Geniuses Have a Different Set of Unconventional Rules They Play By: I can share my new-school rules like: “Quitting is Underrated,” “Trying Harder Doesn’t Always Work,” and “Throw Out Everything You Know and Go With How it Feels”.

Why You DON’T Need More Time or Experience to Do Your Genius: I can break down my concept of “the red thread” and explain how everything you’ve done so far in life has prepared you for this point in your destiny to do your genius.

Do you feel like you’re doing it all and it’s STILL not enough?

Discover your shortcut to success in P.S. You’re A Genius.

We all know that sensation of seeing someone really in their element. It’s that “it factor.” Steve Jobs had it in spades. Elon Musk just puts everyone else to shame. And, Steven Speilburg was just doing it way back when before it was cool. Some call it “special sauce” or that “secret ingredient.” It’s that thing that’s so hard to define, yet everyone talks about. (And really wants).

Kelly Trach calls it your genius.

And it’s not as elusive as you think. In fact, she’s going to teach you how to find it.

After a lifetime of overachieving, aiming to be excellent at everything, and three failed tech startups in Silicon Valley, Kelly Trach was stirred by a simple question: What if I just did what I’m good at?

Now a six-figure business coach, Kelly poses the same question to you: What if you just did what you’re good at? Despite conventional wisdom, the gifts and experience you need are already innate.

P.S. You’re a Genius takes you on a self-reflective journey to find your own gifts (especially when you don’t feel “gifted” at all), asking questions like:

How are your idols a reflection of your own genius?
What are you great at that nobody taught you how to do?
How is your darkest shadow your greatest gift?
What have you been unexpectedly criticized for?

Through these questions and more, you’ll uncover the ways you naturally excel, relinquish the lie that you’re not “good enough,” and discover how to convincingly convey your value to anyone. In the process, you’ll unlock the gumption to go after what you really want and ditch the mindset blocks holding you back—because YOU have an inherent genius. You just have to find it...
