Do you feel like you’re doing it all and it’s still not enough? Discover your shortcut to success in P.S. You’re A Genius. After a lifetime of overachieving, aiming to be excellent at everything, and three failed tech startups in Silicon Valley, Kelly Trach was stirred by a simple question: What if I just did what I’m good at? Now a six-figure business coach, Kelly poses the same question to you: What if you just did what you’re good at? Despite conventional wisdom, the gifts and experience you need are already innate. Having that “it factor” or “special ingredient” isn’t as elusive as you may think. P.S. You’re a Genius takes you on a self-reflective journey to find your own gifts (especially when you don’t feel “gifted” at all), asking questions like: How are your idols a reflection of your own genius? What are you great at that nobody taught you how to do? How is your darkest shadow your greatest gift? What have you been unexpectedly criticized for? Through these questions and more, you’ll uncover the ways you naturally excel, relinquish the lie that you’re not “good enough,” and discover how to convincingly convey your value to anyone. In the process, you’ll unlock the gumption to go after what you really want and ditch the mindset blocks holding you back—because YOU have an inherent genius. You just have to find it.

The term reps is commonly used in the exercise realm as a shortened version of repetitions, or the number of times a particular movement is performed for any particular time segment. The title REPS makes reference to the aforementioned and serves as the acronym for the title in its entirety: Rehabilitation Exercise Progression System. In any professional setting where rehabilitation is performed—medicine, sports, schools, and fitness / personal training—a system for prescribing and administering rehabilitation exercise is necessary in order to provide the best outcomes for patients and/or clients. Once a condition is identified, it can be challenging to determine where to start and what to prescribe. Certain factors such as the individual characteristics and level of conditioning of the patient/client must be considered. The scope and purpose for making choices in a rehabilitation exercise regimen must be based on a foundation of movement that is naturally human. Next, selection of appropriate exercises and a plan for progression to attain rehabilitation goals, both personal and clinical, need to be implemented. This book takes into account all these factors and presents a comprehensive rehabilitation system with progressions to take the guesswork out of the equation for achieving outstanding results for the busy practitioner.
