Who are we ?
We are genwise. Instead of retreating, we prefer to continue. We think there is so much to do and so much to participate in life. We know and trust that there is a lot of value accumulated around us and in the world at the age of 45+. We believe in the power of production with common sense. We are in favor of transforming learning into value, not just learning or teaching.
We have answers to questions you may wonder
Any manager or business person from any industry, who is 45+, who believes in the power of collaboration and who is open to new experiences. Because this process of transformation, collaboration and production requires both practical and specifically leadership experience, which is almost exclusively obtainable with time.
A way of shipping that is collective and that has a clear methodology.
No. This is not coaching, this is not a personal development or self-help program. It is a structured program of learning, collaboration and production. At the end of the program you will have business ideas and business plans that you have personally developed. It is up to you to pursue them. If you do, we will be supporting you as genwisers.
First the easy part: you have to be 45+. Then the willingness to keep producing, to work and to learn. And most importantly, having taken steps towards getting out of one’s comfort zone and starting something new. The admission process is run by Zeynep and Tuğrul, the founders.
You probably have ideas. But even if you don't, you can also support the ideas and work that you are excited about and want to be a part of in production teams.
Both of the founders and (most probably you too) have packaged a lot of work with this methodology before, genwise is most recent of them
