Testimonials

Genny’s compassionate, yet unflinching approach to coaching, is the secret sauce to The EQ School’s success. Her unique and wide-ranging skill set is clearly displayed throughout the thoughtfully curated curriculum she offers her students.

After quietly following The EQ School for about a year on social, I finally gathered the courage to ask for Genny’s help in mediating a difficult discussion between myself and another party. Any fears I had going in were addressed, validated, and ultimately assuaged by the end of our first consultation call. Genny provided a safe and productive space for our talk, and in doing so, helped to transform a point of pain, into one of learning and growth. Though the meeting lasted only an hour, it was one of the most profoundly healing experiences of my life.

I was so impressed with the results of our initial meeting that I was inspired to join the following workshop. I recently finished the Relationship Management workshop and came away with helpful insights and skills that were new to me despite already working regularly with a therapist.

Words can’t express how grateful I am for all the wisdom and support she’s given me throughout this process, the value of which to me is priceless. I can’t recommend her and her offerings enough.

I took Genny’s “Boundaries” workshop with her last month and it was awesome! Genny is great at leading the workshops in a way that is both professional and relaxed and the content was very engaging — all the topics are so important for growing emotional intelligence! Will definitely be doing the other workshops down the line as well!

It’s like going to the gym for your brain. You kinda dread it but feel amazing afterwards.
Such a rich experience. When I first saw her courses available I knew there was treasure there, the topics covered relate to so many areas.
I started with self awareness and wow! Each group discussion left me feeling rich and full in spirit. I felt empowered, encouraged, and as if I really had been doing this work all along, but without being equipped with the right tools. I was able to start putting the concepts to work and IMMEDIATELY started to see positive results.

Changing your life to live more fully is challenging. You need to be able to see what is missing but how do you look at something in a new way - TAKE THESE CLASSES. Genny Rumancik worked wonders at giving me tools (actual real things to do not just read about). These tools allowed me to see my life so that I can take steps to change and be more fully myself. As a sign of how deeply they resonate I have found myself talking about the work in random conversations for the last month. What a wonderful thoughtful gathering of people brought together and guided through our work by someone who knows the territory. I highly recommend these classes and Genny Rumancik.

Wow! I am no stranger to self-help or therapy and this was better In such a unique way! A casual but impressive and immensely helpful way to get to know more about myself, evaluate my self awareness and personal relationships. I took two of Genny’s classes and I loved both for different reasons. First and foremost, I was able to be more connected to my schedule and this class helped motivate me throughout the week. Second... I made amazing friends and deep connections! I can’t wait for my next class that I take! Genny has a way of letting each person carry and own their vulnerability while also bonding people through common struggles, interests, etc. Thank you Genny and EQ school!

I took Genny’s “Self Awareness” workshop and I found it to be a valuable tool to develop interpersonal skills, while having a good time!
It was very fulfilling to work with a pleasant group and a competent teacher. I intend on returning to take follow up courses, and I can recommend the EQ School to anyone looking to develop their interpersonal skills, in a personal, or professional background!

The EQ School is my favorite way to connect with individuals looking to deepen their experience of personal and professional development. I’ve learned there isn’t a difference between those two. Looking inward I have started to think that if I am a good communicator and a good listener, it helps both personally and professionally. The workshops always help me to remember that I feel so much better when I hold healthy boundaries and manage my time, my self, and my relationships using the tools provided in the classes. I am always impressed by the vulnerable individuals who are brave enough to share their experiences and the space that is created in the meetings. I particularly like the the practice of identifying the stories I tell myself and how they can have such a profound impact on how I relate to the world around me

The Self Awareness workshop & group was incredibly powerful. I consider myself a pretty introspective person and was surprised how much more I learned about myself and the ways day-to-day things affect me. Also really appreciated having a solid group of incredible people to connect, learn & reflect with each week. Plus, you’ll learn tools to bring with you far beyond the class to keep reflecting and making authentic choices for you. Highly recommend! ❤️

...I finished the Self Management Course with Genny last week and am starting on the Relationship Management Course this week. This group, along with the courses have been hugely beneficial to my personal growth and mental health.
The courses are designed to force you to take a hard look at yourself and ask some big questions about who you are and how you think. I found the exercises in the course, actually putting theory to practice, to be the biggest step forward in my personal growth.
Genny was always there to ask the right questions and steer us along our self discovery. I also enjoyed the experience of going through these exercises with everyone in the class. Even in our four short weeks, we bonded and formed a little community.
If anyone’s sitting at the edge of the pool, wondering what the water’s like, I’ll be the one cannonballing over you and waving you in. Come on in :)

Genny is a beautiful blend of empathy and logic. She has the rare ability to get to the crux of a problem incredibly quickly, and then illuminate the way forward. She asks questions thoughtfully and purposefully, and has a way of making everyone feel uniquely seen and heard. In working one on one, Genny has time and time again guided me to better understand my emotions, desires, and goals. Working with her makes me feel challenged and excited – like I can feel myself growing, and broadening my self understanding. In working with teams, I have witnessed how she shifts and elevates the creative energy of a room by keeping her mind on the larger story and re-centering the group when she sees us getting lost in the weeds. Genny is a multi-talented shapeshifter who has deep experience in several fields. This has granted her a unique and valuable perspective on diverse work environments, people, and creative goals.

Genny is amazing. I took her Self-Awareness and Emotional Intelligence course, and was blown away with her support, knowledge, courage and overall energy. She was always there if I had questions. The class really made me more self aware and more in control of my emotions. I would highly recommend taking one of her workshops.

Genny couldn’t have come at a better moment into my life. I was going through some uncertain times and for some reason I ran into her and her practice. After a session with her, she made me realized how powerful and attuned I am. She helped concentrate the energy that I kept dialing into my fears and unknowns into the actual areas I can control, aka getting a new job- aligns with my values, and setting foundational boundaries in my relationship. I would definitely recommend her work. If I made this much progress in one session, just imagine how much you can make with her programs

Genny is such a wonderful and wise lady - I highly recommend participating in one of her workshops. I recently did the self-awareness one and really appreciated Genny’s insight and the tools she presented. The homework and one-on-one chats were a wonderful way to connect and learn from each other. I know I’ll continue to use the tools I learned in this class for the rest of my life. Thank you Genny!

I recently participated in Genny’s Self Awareness workshop and really recommend the experience to anyone looking for an approachable and supportive opportunity for personal growth. I came away from the experience feeling like I have new tools and confidence to advocate for my well being and manage my energy. Thanks to Genny and everyone who was in the cohort!

Genny is an amazing life coach. She is very empathic and professional. My sessions with her helped me truly move forward with life. She has a versatile tool box that can help anyone gain clarity, make great change, and create next steps while having a supportive ear by your side. Can’t wait to keep working with her in 2021! Thank you Genny 🙂

I just wanted to share my thoughts on my experience within the Self Awareness work shop for anyone considering participating in one of these workshops! Genny was very professional and really did a great job of creating a safe and open space for everyone in the group to share (or not share). The homework we did during the week was not super time consuming and each exercise really gave me a lot of bang for my buck, so to speak. Some of the things we wrote down (the act of doing the work), discussions within our groups and chats in our meetings were life changing for me. I give the workshop 5 stars! Highly recommend to anyone feeling like they need a change/help and could use some clear guidance and useful tools! Thanks to everyone in the group and Genny Rumancik for being so supportive and kind! 💗
