Genny Rumancik

Genny Rumancik is the creator and primary facilitator at The EQ School, an organization that supports adults in learning how to increase their individual emotional literacy through small group workshops and self-paced online courses. She also runs the Instagram account @theeqschool with over 150,000 followers, writing daily posts with insights and methods to help adults improve self-awareness, navigate emotional self-management and shift relational patterns for healthier relationships across the board.

Genny started her career as an educator and has a BS in Education, an MA in Literature (with a focus on African American Fiction) and another diploma in Design Leadership. Her early start in education shaped how she approaches increasing emotional intelligence; always through the pedagogical lens of meeting people where they need to be met so that they can walk together toward the more advanced skills required to heal and rewire early emotional patterning. She currently sits on the board of Acknowledge Alliance, a nonprofit in Mountain View, California, that brings mental health advocates into school systems to help children and teachers with social emotional learning, and provides mental health counseling to teens.

Genny is currently at work on a book titled The Wisdom of Feeling: Discovering Your True Self through the Four Pillars of Emotional Intelligence, to be published in 2026 by TarcherPerigee (world).
