Genieke Hertoghs is the founding mother of the Subconscious Impact philosophy. This philosophy is based on the theory of Daniel Kahneman (Nobel Prize winner in Economics, 2002). It assumes that when you talk to people, the likelihood is greatest that you are speaking to their unconscious brain, which is active 98% of the time.<\/p>\n

Subconscious Impact offers 35 very concrete and practical conversation techniques that truly reach others in their unconscious brain. Genieke embodies the philosophy in everything she does. Additionally, she is a co-author of the book: ‘Impact; the power of invisible influence<\/a><\/span>”. In 2023, she published the practical book ‘Don\u2019t push me<\/a><\/span>‘, which focuses on how to effectively move people, primarily written for those leading a change. In this book, Genieke passionately and joyfully guides them through the powerful workings of our unconscious brain and how ‘pull techniques’ contribute to behavioral change. Over the past 22 years, she has helped hundreds of organizations (both profit and non-profit) achieve greater impact as a speaker, coach, process facilitator, and trainer.<\/p>\n

When you book Genieke, you are guaranteed success. First and foremost, you are booking someone who brings new insights that everyone can benefit from. Someone who opens everyone’s eyes. Her average rating as a speaker is 9.5. Her personal approach, her speed in connecting real-time events to theory, her humor, and her ability to truly see people contribute to this consistently high appreciation.<\/p>\n

Genieke speaks about and against the unconscious brain. You will come to realize the enormous role that unconscious brain plays in daily communication and collaboration. Resolving resistance happens through the unconscious route, which Genieke knows better than anyone. It can disappear\u2014in a maximum of three minutes\u2014when you reach the unconscious brain. By truly seeing the other person. This is valuable knowledge for anyone who, as an ‘innovator’, stands out on large stages.<\/p>\n

Genieke has now delivered around 2700 talks (trainings, speeches, keynotes, chairing sessions). Whether a group consists of 10 people or 500, she knows how to touch and engage people everywhere. The stage still fits her like a glove. She prefers to inspire as many people as possible to adopt a new way of looking at things. A perspective that makes the world a little bit better every day.<\/p>\n
