Geil Browning, Ph.D., is President and Owner of Emergenetics, LLC, and The Browning Group International, Inc. - official distributor of Emergenetics products. In 1995 she was recognized as Colorado’s Outstanding Entrepreneurial Businesswomen of the Year.  In 2002, the Leadership Georgia Board of Trustees designated Dr. Browning as a J. W. Fanning Fellow and in 2003 The Denver Business Journal honored her with the Outstanding Women in Business Award.

Beginning her career as a teacher, Dr. Browning was an elementary school principal at the age of 26. Her lifelong interest in how people learn ultimately led her to study brain dominance research and to develop the Emergenetics Profile, first in a series of instruments that provide useful information on both thinking and behaving attributes. Returning to her educational roots, she recently developed the STEP (Student/Teacher Emergenetics Profile), which allows parents and teachers of 9 -18 year old students to better understand their children, and to individualize their learning.

Browning is the author of the book, Emergenetics: Tap Into the New Science of Success which will be published by HarperCollins in January, 06.

Additionally, Dr. Browning founded the Institute of Career Advancement Needs (ICAN, Inc.), which sponsors Influence and Focus, two highly acclaimed executive development programs that have graduated over 2000 participants now in senior management positions worldwide.

Dr. Browning received her doctorate from the University of Nebraska, where she was an adjunct associate professor, and has completed postdoctoral studies at Harvard University. She has lectured at numerous universities in the United States and Canada as well as Moscow State University in Russia.

Geil extends her interest in children as a founding board member of the Kenyan Children Foundation whose mission is to provide transformational experiences for Americans through compassionate involvement with Kenya street children.  Frequently, she and her husband, Armistead, organize and lead groups to Nairobi, Kenya where they work with orphaned and destitute children, many of whom are HIV positive.
