LL 026: Finding Your Talent & Genius with Nancy Marmolejo

In the 26th episode of the Live Limitless podcast, I chat with Nancy Marmolejo of talentandgenius.com.

Nancy Marmolejo teaches entrepreneurs, experts, and teams how to tap into their unique genius and use it to position themselves as trusted authorities. Dubbed a “professional paradigm shifter”, Nancy helps people understand all they bring to the table, especially the parts of themselves they can’t see.

Since 2003, Nancy’s business consulting has helped clients from around the world expand their reach and impact. As a social media influencer, she’s known for her authentic and relatable style.

Nancy has won numerous awards for her business and has been featured in The Huffington Post, Smart Money, Redbook, Latina Magazine, The Orange County Register, Univision, NPR and more. She’s also the host of the top-rated podcast, Itenco: Lessons For The Leading Edge.

We do something extra cool in this podcast. Instead of a typical interview where I ask Nancy all the questions, we turn this around and Nancy gives me a live “coaching call”. I call these “workshop” episodes. It’s like a live case study because instead of Nancy telling us about what she does, she actually shows us what she does by helping me find my genius!

If you’re trying to figure out what your mission statement is, what your hidden genius is, and how to find your strengths and talents, this episode is for you!

  • My creative practices,
  • My highest vision for myself,
  • What shapes my identity,
  • And so MUCH more…

And Remember…Even though this is a live coaching session with me, you’ll be able to follow along and think about your own answers!
