Life’s too short
to be
MISUNDERSTOOD
We help you navigate life and all it’s intricacies, improving every relationship through better communication.
How do we do that? Keep reading to find out how.
Like most people you will have an innate desire to be seen, known, understood and valued, yet many of us go through life feeling the opposite. Sometimes we even struggle to understand ourselves, let alone the people we live with or work with.
It doesn't have to be that way!
It all comes down to communication. Negative, or faulty communication leads to feeling misunderstood, which produces frustration, stress and ultimately disconnection. Now, imagine living in a world where you were understood AND you could understand those around you.
There’s great news for you!
Positive, healthy communication, both internal and external, is a skill that can be learned and by learning it, you can dramatically improve your success rate in your interpersonal relationships. There is no better time than now to embark on your journey of discovery.
Who are we?
James and Jeanine have been married for almost 3 decades and have 3 amazing children. James was a professional musician for over 25 years and they have both been involved in organisational leadership for over 20 years in numerous capacities including mentoring and coaching. They have been certified as Communication IQ™ Coaches for over 5 years and use the Communication IQ™ tool as their foundational methodology. They are passionate about empowering people to make positive life choices and equipping them to build healthy relationships, whether that be personal or business. Additionally, if you are looking for a transformational life coach, both James and Jeanine consider it a privilege to partner with clients to co-create their future selves.
What do we do?
Every situation is different and our clients diverse and so we assess the need and put together a package that works with the client to achieve the desired result. We are experienced coaches and consultants with expertise in many aspects of life from corporate teams and organisations, self employment, to marriage and parenting, In every situation, almost without exception, communication is key. Faulty communication, or miscommunication is the leading cause of management failure and the biggest cause of marriage breakdown. At Genivo, we use a number of different tools including Communication IQ™, to bring a culture shift to relationships at every level. We work with clients to help bring an understanding of the 7 different and distinct communication styles identified through their Communication IQ Profile™. Once the client has an understanding of their internal world, it becomes much easier to navigate that rocky terrain of life and interpersonal relationships. We work with you by bringing clarity to the communication process.
How do we do it?
Every client begins with completing the Communication IQ™ profile questionnaire. The profile is an extremely accurate profiling tool that takes about 30 minutes to complete. On completion, the client receives an in-depth report that identifies their communication preferences.
We encourage corporate clients to attend a workshop/webinar. This explains the inner workings of each communication language. Personal clients work with us on a 1-1 basis utilising a number of tools at our disposal.
Coaching in communication skills. Following the Foundations Workshop/Webinar, we offer 1-1 coaching sessions to equip the client with the tools to understand how their KLLP™ works and how to utilise it for personal development. We also offer couples coaching to bring understanding and connection as well as additional corporate team workshops to reduce miscommunication within the workplace. Please note, the Foundation Workshop is available as a self paced online video course and can be found here.
Testimonials:
As both a business owner and entrepreneur I have used many character defining tests, from Myers Briggs to Disc, and although these are all great, not until I came across Communication IQ was I really able to fully comprehend the degree to which not understanding people’s full personality characteristic could make the difference between business success and failure. As a linguist myself, who speaks 6 languages, I am not particularly gifted in the absolutes of grammar but tend much more towards the spoken word which is why picking up languages to communicate comes naturally and easy to me. Communication IQ is no different. With a high degree of accuracy, it tells you clearly who you are, how you should communicate with other people who speak different ‘languages’ and how you and they are best encouraged, rewarded and communicated with. In order to get the best out of people we need to understand what makes them tick. Communication IQ provides this in abundance. As such, there is no excuse going forward why any business cannot be super successful armed with this rather ingenious and super science based research.
Try it now: it changed my life, so why not yours.

Thank you for your sessions on the Communication IQ course. My husband and I both attended. My first thoughts around attending the course were to help us get a better insight into how other people think and operate so that we could communicate better with them. However, we got much more than that. We got a strategy on how to get to know people, how to get a better insight into how a person operates, how best to deliver information to them and how best to share news or process with them. These strategies looked at the type of people we could be working with and then with a better strategy from James and his team we could better understand someone and ultimately build a stronger, more meaningful relationship. This course helps us see how we can really get the best out of people where they feel fulfilled and company missions are met but also how we can get along very well with people we wouldn't naturally be drawn to because we have a strategy we can use to help us deliver information, form a relationship and achieve our company's goals. The Communication IQ™ course is insightful and an important tool for all of us to have in our back pocket.

— Simon Guillebaud - Great Lakes Outreach.
“This has honestly been SO good for our family! It was great having each member read their profile results and have multiple ‘aha’ moments. Understanding themselves better and us all learning to appreciate our different communication styles and emotional response to life, has been incredibly helpful.”
— Susie R - Entrepreneur and mum of 7.
“This has been such a powerful tool in understanding my kids communication style, their personality, how I can better connect and also how I can be more patient in areas I want them to develop in. Having you and your kids take Communication IQ™ is worth a thousand books on psychology and it’s such a good move in the direction of healthy family communication. It was worth every penny for me.”
— Dan Romer - Marketing executive and founder of Rebel Family.
Case studies:
"We have been working with the team at Genivo for the past year, as we have wanted to build a healthy communication culture within the organisation as well as invest in our employees. After a mix of team workshops and 1-1 sessions, we have seen noticeable changes and benefits to the company:
1. Utilising the Communication IQ™ system has helped the team work better together by learning each other’s communication styles and building their own self awareness.
2. Increased the skills of the team members with particular reference to their ability to communicate with customers
3. Helped the emotional well-being of the employees
4. The 1-1 coaching sessions provided a confidential outlet for employees, which cultivated an “open” culture within the company.
We strongly recommend bringing Genivo in to work with you. It’s definitely been worth the investment.”
