A Touch of Genius

By: Karin Pinter
  • Summary

  • Everyone has a touch of Genius, it's just a matter of giving ourselves permission to explore it and experience it. Join me for conversations about this perfectly imperfect journey called "being human", where we’ll learn to embrace our uniqueness and the shadows that hold us back. We’ll discover what impacts our wellbeing and potential as individuals and as a collective - essentially, what makes or breaks humanity. We’ll find what helps us excel and bring down the things that limit us or lead us astray from our potential.


    For the most part, this will be a series of conversations between you and me, aimed at inspiring a deeper conversation between you and your Genius self. Each episode will highlight somebody who has used their personal ingenuity as an example for us to learn from. Every other episode, there will be featured conversations with other thought leaders, experts, changemakers and creators offering their insights.


    Join me every Wednesday for A Touch of Genius wherever you listen to your podcasts. It's going to be fun.


    Together we’ll unpack talent, skills, strategies, attitude, behaviours and - yes - magic. It's time to explore and develop our Genius lives together.

  • Self-sabotage: Our Inner Roadblocks & How to Clear Them
    Oct 2 2024

    In this episode, we continue on the theme of Beliefs by exploring our negative self talk, and the ways in which this has been holding us back or causing us to self-sabotage any aspect of our lives. We'll go back in time to find out what the people around us said to us as children, and how this has become part of our self fulfilling prophecy that we explored in the previous episode.


    In this episode:

    3:05 - Deciphering how people think about themselves

    4:59 - This happens to all of us...

    5:53 - A silent destroyer of potential

    9:22 - Why I believe so strongly about the power of self-talk

    14:54 - Dissecting your negative self-talk

    17:55 - What blockages typically represent

  • What You Believe About Yourself (The Self Fulfilling Prophecy)
    Sep 18 2024

    One of the greatest obstacles we will ever face is what we believe to be true about ourselves. In this episode, we discuss how we formed our core attitudes, values and beliefs, and what we can start doing to change them if we notice we’re undermining ourselves.


    We learn so much without realising as children, and most of it actually has nothing to do with what we’re taught in school. What we really anchor in mentally and emotionally are attitudes, values and beliefs.


    In this episode:

    2:45 – Origins of our attitudes, values & beliefs (and the tools that helped me re-shape mine)

    6:06 – Virginia Satir*

    9:03 – A boy named Justin

    10:45 – Learning to clear the grey clouds

    12:17 – A message for all the Black Sheep

    13:05 – What’s in a country’s attitude and Belief System?

    14:07 – A deeper look at our beliefs

    17:01 – An example of a self-defeating Belief System

    18:10 – A Genius Little Exercise on Belief Systems

    25:06 – A personal tribute


    *I may or may not be pronouncing her last name correctly…
