She is the founder of Genny Jones Training, a business dedicated to empowering non-finance managers, charity professionals, and individuals seeking confidence and happiness in their personal and professional lives.
A Passion for Financial Literacy
Genny’s journey began with a deep-rooted passion for financial literacy. With extensive experience in charity finance, she has worked in roles ranging from bookkeeper to head of finance. Recognizing the challenges non-finance managers face in understanding financial information, she established training programs to simplify accounting concepts. Her courses cover bookkeeping, financial reporting, budgeting, governance, and accounting software such as Sage, QuickBooks, and Xero. Through her expertise, she has helped countless small businesses and charities gain confidence in managing their finances effectively.
Championing Workplace Wellbeing
Beyond finance, Genny has a profound commitment to workplace wellbeing. As the UK Laughing Champion 2023, she understands the power of laughter in reducing stress and boosting morale. Her signature wellbeing program, Escape 2 Happiness Island, provides individuals and organizations with tools to manage stress, improve productivity, and foster happiness at work. She delivers these sessions both in person and online, reaching diverse audiences including corporate teams, charities, and community groups.
Supporting Women in Transition
Genny’s personal experiences as a single mother who raised two boys and overcame emotional and physical abuse have shaped her mission to support women in transition. Experiencing empty nest syndrome herself, she now focuses on helping women over 50 rediscover their happiness and purpose. Her Escape to Happiness Island retreats and workshops create a supportive space for women navigating life changes such as divorce, loss, or retirement.
Establishing the Charity Finance Staff Forum
Genny’s deep understanding of the charity sector led her to establish the Charity Finance Staff Forum, a network that provides training, mentoring, and peer support to charity finance professionals. Drawing on her three decades of experience, she collaborates with other experts to empower finance staff with the confidence and skills needed to excel in their roles.
Spreading Confidence and Joy
As Confident Queen Genny, Genny uses her experiences to inspire and uplift others. She has authored two self-help books and two children's books, sharing messages of resilience, self-belief, and joy. She also delivers confidence-building sessions, including the Crown of Confidence workshop, which encourages individuals to reclaim their self-worth and embrace happiness.
Looking Forward
As Genny continues to evolve, she remains committed to helping people feel confident, financially literate, and happy. She is now developing new courses, expanding her Escape 2 Happiness sessions, and reaching more organizations with her unique blend of finance, laughter, and empowerment.
Through her work, Genny Jones is proving that happiness and confidence are not just goals but a way of life.
