The Working Genius Pairings Workshop ( Episode 90)

This week on the podcast I am sharing the audio from my recent workshop on the Working Genius pairings. You can look at the workshop workbook here.

In the Working Genius model, each of us has 2 of the 6 geniuses (Wonder, Ideation, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity).  

Therefore, there are 15 various combinations of genius pairs. 

Because the geniuses play off each other and correspond to different stages of work, your unique pairing has implications for your impact on the team and what stages of work your contributions best fit. 

Take a listen and see if you can identify your pair of geniuses. It can improve relationships, work effectiveness, and be truly life changing to know this about yourself and to believe in YOUR genius. ! 

Main points: 

• Each of us has a pair of geniuses that make unique combinations that are expressed differently, depending on which genius is most dominant.
• Are your two areas of genius at the beginning (ideation) of the work process?  In the middle(activation)?  At the end (finishing)?  Split between stages?
• Understanding your unique pairing can help you understand how and when you best can contribute at which stage of work
  • Take note where you (and the team) would benefit from you backing off/stepping aside to allow others to step in.
  • Instead of skipping over the steps that aren’t in your area of genius - collaborate with others! 
• This self awareness can help you not only be more productive but also can help keep your energy aligned and prevent you from burning out due to working in your areas of non-genius.  

Let's connect.

I am cheering for you!
