When senior leaders run an executive team offsite well, it becomes the single most powerful way to reset alignment, strengthen team cohesion, clarify business strategy, and create action plans that actually get implemented. Offsite meetings give leadership teams the space they never get in busy conference rooms to think deeply, disagree productively, and make decisions that stick. The key takeaways are simple. Executive offsites work when there is a clear agenda, a focused pu

Introduction Working Genius transforms how schools understand why some types of work energize people while others drain them completely. After facilitating Working Genius sessions across educational institutions in Australia and internationally, I have watched this simple framework reduce conflict, improve team dynamics, and help students stop internalizing negative narratives about themselves. The most profound insight from this work is this: most friction in schools stems f

The best leadership meeting ideas share one common trait: they separate different types of conversations. After facilitating hundreds of leadership meetings across schools, corporations, and nonprofits in Australia and internationally, I have observed that mixing tactical execution with strategic planning in the same meeting destroys both conversations. The most effective leadership team meetings use a structured system where daily check-ins handle synchronisation, weekly tac

Wonder is the genius that decides whether everything you're doing is pointed in the right direction. Before there are goals, plans, timelines, or slide decks, someone has to ask, "Is this even the right thing to do?" That moment is Wonder. Here's the profound insight most teams miss: Wonder's absence doesn't feel like absence. It feels like speed. Teams without strong Wonder presence experience themselves as decisive and action-oriented. They mistake motion for progress. They

Introduction: Finding the Right Team Development Consultant in 2025 Let's be honest. Finding the right team development consultant feels a bit like dating. There are plenty of options out there, but most of them won't be the right fit. And some of them will waste your time with fancy presentations that don't actually change anything. This guide is here to help you cut through the noise. I've done the legwork so you don't have to scroll through endless LinkedIn profiles wonder

The Genius of Enablement is the most underestimated force in team dynamics. People with this particular genius know how to help, when to help, and can flex to whatever a given situation calls for. They are people-oriented and want to help realise a vision. Yet most business leaders miss it entirely because it operates quietly, relationally, and without fanfare. Here is the insight you will not find elsewhere: Enablement is not about being nice. It is strategic responsiveness

If you have ever wondered why some types of work energise you while others leave you questioning your career choices, your Working Genius pairing holds the answer. Patrick Lencioni created the Working Genius model after years of watching team members burn out doing the wrong type of work. His insight was simple but transformative: people are not broken. The work they are asked to do simply does not match their natural genius. Here is something most articles about Working Geni

Patrick M. Lencioni has written entire books that sit on the desks of business leaders around the world, but The Six Types of Working Genius has hit a nerve in a way his fans did not see coming. Leaders who loved books like The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive are calling this his most practical framework yet. Team members read it and finally understand why some parts of work feel natural and others feel like a slow death. And peop

Executive teams are full of smart people. Talented people. High achieving people. Yet somehow, many of these teams still struggle more than they should. If you have ever watched a meeting go off the rails, or wondered why a group of brilliant leaders cannot seem to move a strategy forward, you are not alone. The good news is that there is a clear, practical way to fix this. And it starts with understanding how your team actually gets work done. Let’s walk through why Working

You want someone who can walk into a room, read the team dynamics quickly, and turn confusion into clarity and action. That is the lane I live in. I am a Certified Working Genius Facilitator, keynote speaker, leadership coach, and a bit of a Working Genius tragic. I work with CEOs, executive teams, school principals, business owners, boards, churches, higher education institutions, and even student leaders in Grade 6, Grade 10, and Years 11 and 12 who are just starting to exp

Last updated: July 2026 A Working Genius workshop is a facilitated session, built on Patrick Lencioni's Six Types of Working Genius, that helps a team identify the work each person finds energising and then redesign meetings, roles and projects around those strengths. A focused session runs from two hours to a full day and follows a clear sequence: prepare, teach the model, debrief individual profiles, read the team map, and commit to change. The reason this matters is simple

If you have ever taken a personality assessment like DISC, Myers Briggs or the Birkman Assessment, or a strengths-based tool like CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder), you already know they can be helpful for self insight. They teach you something about personality types, tendencies and natural talent. All good things. But here is the issue. Most of these tools do not help you fix your workday. They do not help you understand why certain types of work drain the life ou

Introduction: From Assessment to Action Look, I'll be honest with you: I've seen a lot of workplace assessments come and go. Most of them? They're either so complicated you need a PhD to understand them, or they're so vague they're basically useless. But the Working Genius model created by Pat Lencioni and the Table Group team? That's different. This practical framework is refreshingly simple. You can learn it fast, and here's the kicker, you can actually use it right away.
