Otto Siegel and Kayla Essert with Genius Coaching and Julie Hudson with Onsite Design
Since 2003 Genius Coaching has been focusing on decoding and activating hidden brilliance in bright students with learning or behavior challenges as well as in brilliant leaders who desire to go ‘from great to excellent’ and connect with their teams more effectively.
Their unique Genius Profile® provides a solid blueprint for high level success in education, career and life by decoding the unique brilliance that is written on DNA and translating the results into simple language to make it useable. Professional coaching provides the energy to implement specific actions that bring this genetic blueprint to life.
Genius Coaching is highly innovative, radically holistic and activates the joyful biological energies of the body with a strong focus on uniqueness, sensitivity and intensity.
Healthy genius always desires to grow and does not stop with age. Longevity Coaching supports brilliant and sensitive people who refuse to comply with any aging mentality and have a deep desire to expand their health span and life span.
Otto Siegel is a people builder, outlier, innovator and founder of Genius Coaching LLC in Scottsdale.
He holds a M.Ed. from the University of Munich/Germany and taught Biology and Chemistry to High School students in Munich and Sao Paulo/Brazil for 17 years. A period of unexpected bipolar symptoms on his highest level of professional success forced him to look deeper into his passion: To support bright and sensitive students with learning or behavior challenges and their desperate parents to find their way through school and into a bright future.
In 1994 he left teaching and added certifications in Brain Gym, TMI (Technique of Mental Integration) and 7 assessment systems to start the first “Paedagogische Praxis” (Educational Consulting) in Munich.
During a 7-year career as a training manager in a Phoenix-based corporation he became a certified coach and developed unique and very popular team leadership programs.
As a Master Certified Coach (MCC) he has been mentoring coaches and leaders in the US, Europe and Australia.
Together with his life partner Susanna Lange he wrote “Yes, You Are a Genius” and developed the Genius Profile™ as the most comprehensive and simple evaluation system for human brilliance. Since 2010 he has been offering Genius Coach Certification programs for passionate parents and education professionals as a foundation to start their own business.
In 2017 he added Longevity Coaching for highly intelligent and sensitive people in the second half of their first century with a strong desire to expand their health span and life span, followed by a ICF-approved Longevity Coach Certification program in 2020.
Otto’s children David, Julia and Nora live in Germany and Austria with their own families and 1+2+2 children; they stay connected via zoom and Whatsapp. He has been a life-extension enthusiast since 1990 and enjoys international travel, skiing, hiking the Grand Canyon, daily runs with his dogs, swimming, bikram yoga, reading and connecting with likeminded people.
