Session Description

Are you ready to uncover the parts of the work process that energize and frustrate you? Join us this June as we explore the Working Genius model, created by Pat Lencioni of The Table Group. Discover the six essential types of work that drive personal fulfillment and professional success. We'll explore how understanding these types can empower us to leverage our natural gifts, enhance productivity, and cultivate a more cohesive team dynamic. By gaining insight into our unique strengths and preferences, we will be equipped to navigate our work with greater clarity, purpose, and effectiveness.

What sets this tool apart?

-It's simple, there are only six stages of work in the model

-The assessment tool is 80% focused on productivity, 20% on personality

-While many assessments help us understand how we are wired, this tool helps us understand how we best fit into the work process

What you'll learn:

-Review the six types of working genius model

-Identify your top geniuses and frustrations*

-Uncover ways you can apply this model to your work

*You may access the Working Genius Assessment at workinggenius.com; however, you do not need to complete it in advance to participate in the workshop.
