It was an unusual start that shaped Genevieve Dawid's life and career.
Born in Warwickshire, England with disabilities including dis-prepointed feet, and classed as a special needs child, she was then put up for adoption at a month old.
Luckily, at only six weeks of age Genevieve gained wonderful inspirational new parents who loved and accepted her exactly as she was. They set about creating effective ways for her to overcome many difficulties as she grew up including working tirelessly to ensure her legs were straightened and eventually she was able to walk normally.
Her new parent's determination and creative innovative ways enabled Genevieve to lead a normal life, led her to share their philosophy with others eventually resulting with her being a well respected professional life coach and author of the top selling self help book “The Achievers Journey”.
Genevieve states “I went on to incorporate my parents’ teachings into my own unique process, to get to know myself better, discover where I wanted to go in life, and devised a blueprint to get there”.
Furthermore, the day her new parents collected her from the orphanage aged six weeks the first thing they did was to take her on a family holiday which was just the start of many voyages and her lifetime passion for travel.
Travel during childhood years, career in corporate life, being a partner in an international company and her own travel has literally taken Genevieve all over the world.
It was her first cruise over 20 years ago that created her passion for cruising having now visited hundreds of ports worldwide.
Genevieve became a professional speaker in 1997 and in 2004 was awarded for being in the top ten in her field internationally.
Eventually, Genevieve decided to combine her guest speaking talent along with her extensive knowledge of destinations worldwide to become a destination lecturer.
