About
A creative business coach who gets where you’re coming from
As a multi-business owner and creative thinker, I understand the unique joys and challenges of being self-employed AND a maker.
Throughout my arts education, the skills required for running a micro business were an afterthought. Now, through this experience I’m able to coach business owners, creatives, and self-employed side hustlers to build and grow their businesses.
I believe in empowering people to thrive sustainably in business and as makers. To support you to carve clarity on the level of success that you envision. This is what puts a fire in my belly.
Meet Genèvre
Born in Canada, (hence the French grave accent on my name, pronounced ‘Jhah-nev’). You can mostly find me rocking the colour-blocking, chaotic-print-clash like it’s the 1990’s. Again! I am delighted to find out it’s now called dopamine dressing.
I have been working for over 20 years as a maker and multi-business owner in Melbourne, Australia.
With two separate Master’s degrees, an owner and manager of three current businesses and a suite of training in mentoring and coaching, I am confident in sharing my lived experiences with you. To guide you to tap into your inner wisdom.
My (other) working life and business skills are with:
Genèvre art – my working practice as an artist
Kist Displays – design and build custom displays and furniture
Satellite Studios – building a studio community based in Brunswick, Victoria for creative makers

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
