Hi, I’m Nancy Marmolejo, founder of Talent and Genius. I’m passionate about helping individuals and teams uncover their hidden strengths and untapped potential.

My superpower is the ability to see into and reflect back to people their strengths- in short, THEIR superpowers.

As an executive coach, corporate trainer, keynote speaker and consultant, I’ve made it my life’s work to create “aha moments” that spark personal transformation, healthy curiosity, and organizational change.

Using my signature Deep Genius process, we dig deeply into what makes us great and use that to improve our work, communication, engagement, productivity, and leadership. This fosters belonging, inclusion and retainment … and is much needed after all we’ve been through since 2020.

 

Dubbed a “professional paradigm shifter”, I’ve appeared in Forbes, The Huffington Post, Latina, Univision, Smart Money, Redbook, as well as many popular podcasts.

My clients include leaders in engineering, aerospace, tech, hospitality, government, global consulting, and DEI. My more reserved engineering and tech clients call me a Geek Whisperer, as I have found a way to get even the most reluctant of introverts to feel comfortable and honored in the work we do.
