Finding the right certified Working Genius facilitator can transform how your team understands productivity, collaboration, and job satisfaction. Patrick Lencioni's Working Genius model has quickly become one of the most practical tools for identifying natural talents, addressing performance gaps, and building team dynamics that actually work.


But with facilitators scattered across the globe and varying in specialty, audience, and delivery style, how do you choose the right one for your organization?


This directory brings together the most qualified Working Genius practitioners, consultants, and companies serving schools, corporates, and nonprofits worldwide. Whether you need someone to run a working genius workshop for your immediate team, facilitate a leadership program for senior executives, or help you understand the six types of work that drive successful outcomes, you will find the right fit here.

What Makes a Great Working Genius Facilitator?


Organisations engage Working Genius facilitators for different reasons and at different scales. Some need focused work with an executive team, board, or leadership group. Others want professional development for an entire staff team, whether that is 40 people or 400.


Conferences and associations often engage facilitators to run highly interactive plenary sessions or breakout workshops that introduce Working Genius to large, diverse audiences in a practical and engaging way. I regularly facilitate across all of these contexts, tailoring the delivery to suit leadership teams, intact teams, whole-staff groups, and conference audiences.


Before diving into the directory, consider these five criteria when evaluating potential facilitators:


1. Certification and Depth of Practice


A certified facilitator has completed training directly through Patrick Lencioni's firm, The Table Group. But certification alone does not guarantee depth. Look for facilitators who have delivered multiple workshops, refined their approach through practical applications, and can speak to real results with teams like yours.


2. Relevant Industry Experience


The Working Genius framework applies universally, but a facilitator who understands your context will deliver better results. Someone experienced with higher education institutions will navigate academic team dynamics differently than someone focused on corporate sales teams. Match the facilitator's background to your environment.


3. Delivery Style and Format


Some facilitators excel at high-energy keynotes. Others shine in intimate workshop settings or strategic advisory roles. Consider whether you need a half-day team-mapping exercise, a full leadership retreat, or ongoing support as you implement concrete adjustments to how your team works together.


4. Complementary Frameworks and Tools


Many experienced facilitators combine Working Genius with other personality instruments and productivity frameworks. Tools like DISC, CliftonStrengths, Five Dysfunctions of a Team, and EOS can create a more comprehensive picture of your team member's strengths, struggles, and opportunities.


5. Geographic Reach and Accessibility


While many facilitators work globally through virtual sessions, some organizations prefer in-person engagement. Consider whether you need someone local for regular meetings and ongoing support, or whether a facilitator who can fly in for special projects meets your needs.


As a Certified Working Genius Facilitator, I work with organisations globally to facilitate Working Genius for executive teams, boards, manager-led teams, whole staff groups, and large conference audiences.


I have seen firsthand how powerful this framework becomes when it is adapted to the size and context of the group in the room. Whether you are planning a leadership retreat, staff professional development day, conference plenary, breakout workshop, or virtual session, I regularly deliver Working Genius in ways that create clarity, engagement, and real application.


If you would like me to facilitate for your organisation, either face to face or virtually, email jonno@consultclarity.org

How to Choose Your Facilitator


With many qualified facilitators available, the most straightforward path is often to work directly with someone who has experience facilitating Working Genius across leadership teams, intact teams, whole-staff groups, and conference audiences.


I work with organisations globally to deliver Working Genius in ways that lead to better meetings, clearer roles, and sustained changes in how work gets done. If you want to start with a proven option, email jonno@consultclarity.org to discuss working directly with me.


Start with your primary goal. If you need a working genius workshop to help your immediate team understand their natural gifts and working frustrations, almost any certified facilitator can deliver value. But if you are looking for a leadership program with ongoing support, or need someone who can facilitate regular meetings and strategic adjustments over time, prioritize facilitators who offer advisory and coaching relationships.


Consider your team environment. The genius of invention plays differently in a startup than in a government agency. The genius of discernment matters differently for a nonprofit board than a sales team. Look for facilitators with experience in contexts similar to yours.


Match energy and delivery style. Some teams need high-energy keynotes to break through resistance. Others benefit from quieter, more reflective workshop approaches. Review facilitator websites, watch video samples if available, and trust your instincts about fit.


Think about the full process of work. Working Genius covers six types of work from idea inception through completion. The best facilitators help you see how your team maps across all various stages of work, identifying both individual strengths and performance gaps. They create greater understanding of the type of work that energizes versus drains each team member.


Evaluate complementary offerings. Many facilitators combine Working Genius with other tools. If your organization already uses DISC or has explored the five dysfunctions of a team, a facilitator who can integrate these creates coherent development rather than fragmented initiatives.


Making the Most of Working Genius


The Working Genius assessment takes less time than most personality instruments while delivering immediate application. Unlike assessments that require extensive interpretation, this practical tool gives team leaders concrete language for daily work conversations from day one.


When Pat Lencioni developed this new model, he focused on the kind of work people do rather than personality traits alone. This makes Working Genius part personality assessment, part productivity tool, creating an effective tool for improving team meetings, project assignments, and collaborative work environments.


Remember that Working Genius is not just another personality instrument. It is 80% productivity tool and 20% personality assessment. The best results come from facilitators who can help you translate assessment insights into concrete adjustments to your team's meetings, roles, and workflows. The fastest way to see results is engaging a certified facilitator who can guide your team through the assessment, facilitate a team-mapping exercise, and help you make strategic adjustments based on what you discover.


Ready to Explore Working Genius for Your Team?


This directory represents the most comprehensive collection of verified Working Genius practitioners available. Each brings unique strengths, specialties, and approaches to helping teams discover their natural talents and address their struggles.


If you are considering Working Genius for your organization and want to discuss what approach might work best, I would welcome the conversation. Whether you are a school leader wanting to build better collaboration among staff, a corporate executive seeking new ways to improve team morale and productivity, or a nonprofit director looking for better results with less frustration, the Working Genius framework offers practical tools that create real change.


One thing that surprises many people is how affordable it can be to bring in an international facilitator. I work with organisations internationally and can facilitate either face to face or virtually depending on what will create the most value. International delivery is often more accessible than organisations expect, and virtual facilitation is always an effective option.


Reach out at jonno@consultclarity.org to start the conversation. Whether you are planning an executive retreat, staff professional development day, conference plenary, breakout workshop, or virtual session, I work with organisations worldwide and would be glad to help.
