We Help You Learn Who You Were Created To Be

We believe everyone should understand what they are naturally gifted to do. And, that people should use their gifts to create the life they were meant to live. 

When we know who we are and understand why we act and react in certain ways, we can navigate the world better. When we navigate the world better, we experience better results and live more joyful and fulfilling lives. 

Our programs can help you understand:

We Help You Show Up as YOU in the World.

To uncover and help you walk in your God-Given Genius, our coaching programs, Gifted Guidance and Unleashing Your God-Given Genius for Remarkable Results, combine coaching, workshops, and our G3 Assessment Profile to help you see the full picture and potential of who you are and who you were created to be.

John Davies is the creator of God-Given Genius (G3), a business that provides workshops and one-on-one coaching to help individuals understand who they are and what they were created to do.

At a young age, John desired to understand how everything in the world works. That desire led him to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University. His love of learning and business then led him to obtain his Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification and a MBA from the University of Pittsburgh. Throughout his successful entrepreneurial career, he started and managed various companies, focusing on strategic planning and process improvements.

In 2012 John experienced a health crisis that changed the course of his life; he survived a stroke that could have killed him. John knew that God was calling him to something different. He shifted his learning to people. John had always naturally coached and guided people in business and in life. He decided to lean into his strengths and became a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, helping people discover and understand their God-given gifts.

In 2021, John combined his knowledge of entrepreneurship, the Christian faith, and various assessment tools including his own Gifts Assessment along with CliftonStrengths 34 assessment, the Builder Profile 10 (BP10), and SuccessDNA® to create God-given Genius.

In his leisure time, John loves reading, sharing books, listening to music, and spending time with his wife Page. He and Page have two adult children whom they visit as often as possible. John lives near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he helps people find their purpose in life.

Amanda Acker

Director of Operations, God-Given Genius Method

G3 Gifts Assessment: Leading, Teaching, Serving

Top CliftonStrengths: Futuristic, Strategic, Relator, Learner, Responsibility

BP10: Rainmaker

SuccessDNA: Architect

Amanda has worked with John for over four years, supporting his business ventures.

From virtual assistant and social media coordinator to trainer, client services director, and head of operations, Amanda runs the show at God-Given Genius (G3).

You’ll find her onboarding clients, leading trainings, and keeping the G3 team supported and on task.

Amanda believes we are not defined by our past and that no matter where we come from, we are all human first. Being a formerly incarcerated person she knows firsthand what it feels like to be judged, looked down upon, and to be put into a box.

She spent over a decade allowing society to define her. Eventually she had enough and decided to tell her story by creating the podcast, The Let Good Things In Show, where she shared not only her story ,but the stories of others who have overcome adversity. The podcast ran for a little over a year and is still in the top 10% of podcasts.

Amanda brings this mission and outlook with her to the G3 team.

In her spare time, you’ll find her crafting, spending time with her daughter, son, and husband, and pursuing a legal studies degree.
