30 Working Genius Facilitators in Dallas Worth Booking

If you have ever wondered why your leadership team nods in meetings but delivers nothing afterwards, the Working Genius framework holds the answer.

Patrick Lencioni created the Working Genius model to name the six types of work that exist inside every project, every initiative, and every strategic plan. Each person on your team naturally energises in two of these areas and drains in the others. When you understand who thrives in Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanising, Enablement, and Tenacity, you stop assigning the wrong work to talented people and start building teams that actually function.

The challenge is not learning the model. The challenge is facilitating it inside your own team without the distance and authority an external voice brings. Your deputy is not going to tell you in front of the group that the real problem is you keep assigning Enablement work to someone whose genius is Wonder. An external facilitator names what the room already knows but will not say.

I put together this list of Working Genius facilitators in Dallas who bring the framework into executive teams, school leadership groups, nonprofit boards, and corporate offsites across the region.

WHY WORKING GENIUS FACILITATORS MATTER IN DALLAS

Dallas organisations hire facilitators for one reason. The talent is there, the strategy is sound, and the team is still not working the way it should. Leadership teams in Dallas face the same pattern I see in Brisbane, Manchester, and Toronto. Talented individuals who perform well in their lanes but cannot align when the work crosses boundaries. Meetings that produce no decisions. Offsites that feel productive in the moment but fade within weeks.

The Working Genius framework cuts through this because it names the invisible structure underneath every project. Most teams operate as if all work is the same. It is not. Wonder work requires different brain wiring than Tenacity work. Discernment thrives in a different environment than Galvanising. When you assign Enablement tasks to someone whose genius is Invention, you are not asking them to stretch. You are asking them to drain.

A skilled facilitator does not just teach the model. They create the conditions in which your team can name their own patterns, recognise the misalignments that have been costing you momentum, and build a shared language that lasts past the session. The facilitators below bring that combination of framework knowledge and room presence that turns a workshop into a turning point. For a broader look at certified Working Genius facilitators globally, that directory covers practitioners across all sectors and regions.

1. Jonno White

Jonno White is a Certified Working Genius Facilitator who works with schools, nonprofits, and corporate leadership teams around the world. He brings the Working Genius framework into executive teams that are talented on paper but stuck in execution, helping leaders recognise the difference between a performance problem and a Working Genius mismatch.

Why this facilitator stands out:

Jonno does not facilitate the model as theory. He facilitates it as diagnosis. In a typical session, he will name the pattern the team has been living with for months but has not articulated. The person doing all the Enablement work who should be in Wonder. The meeting structure that burns out your Galvanisers because you have positioned them as Tenacity people. The strategy that fails because nobody on the leadership team naturally thrives in the Discernment phase.

Session depth:

Sessions are built around the actual work your team is doing right now, not hypothetical case studies. Jonno will take a live project, map it across the six Working Geniuses, and show you where the breakdowns are happening in real time.

Post-session integration:

The work does not end when the offsite ends. Jonno builds follow-through structures so the insights from the session translate into changed meeting rhythms, reassigned responsibilities, and new hiring criteria that reflect what your team actually needs. If you want to understand how to run a Working Genius workshop before booking a facilitator, that guide covers every phase of the process.

Reach Jonno at jonno@consultclarity.org if you are ready to move past workshops that feel good but change nothing.

2. Leadership Collaborative Dallas

Leadership Collaborative Dallas specialises in team alignment work for nonprofits and mission-driven organisations across the Dallas-Fort Worth region. Their facilitators use the Working Genius model to help leadership teams name the friction points that polite team cultures will not surface on their own.

The strength here is their understanding of nonprofit team dynamics. Mission-driven teams often avoid the hard conversation because the work feels too important to risk conflict. Leadership Collaborative creates the safe container in which those conversations can happen without the relationship cost leaders fear.

Their Working Genius sessions focus heavily on role clarity and delegation patterns. If you are a nonprofit CEO carrying work you should have handed off two years ago because nobody else seems to pick it up, their facilitators will show you the Working Genius reason why.

3. Katy Murray

Katy Murray is a leadership coach and Working Genius facilitator based in Dallas who works primarily with executive teams in corporate and professional services settings. Her background in organisational psychology shapes the way she facilitates Working Genius sessions, blending the framework with behavioural insight and team systems thinking.

What makes Katy effective is her ability to read the room and adjust in real time. Some teams need the full six-type breakdown. Others need to start with pairings and build from there. She tailors the depth and pace to the team in front of her rather than running a standard deck.

Her post-session follow-up includes one-on-one Working Genius debriefs with each member of the leadership team. This creates space for the person who would not speak up in the group setting to process what they learned and name what they need to change.

4. The Table Group Certified Facilitators in Dallas

The Table Group is the organisation Patrick Lencioni founded, and their Certified Facilitators bring the Working Genius model with the backing of the team that created it. Several Table Group facilitators operate across the Dallas region, working with corporate leadership teams, school boards, and healthcare executive groups.

The advantage of booking a Table Group facilitator is depth of training and access to the full suite of Lencioni frameworks. If your team is already using The Five Dysfunctions of a Team or The Advantage, a Table Group facilitator can integrate Working Genius into the existing work rather than introducing it as a standalone model.

Their sessions tend to be highly structured and diagnostically rigorous. You will leave with a clear map of who thrives where, what roles need reassigning, and what meeting rhythms need changing. The follow-through is on you, but the diagnosis will be precise.

5. Marcus Holloway

Marcus Holloway is a Dallas-based executive coach who uses Working Genius as part of a broader leadership development practice. He works primarily with founder-led businesses and family enterprises where role clarity and succession planning intersect.

Marcus brings Working Genius into teams where the challenge is not just alignment but transition. The founder who built the company in Wonder and Invention mode but now needs Enablement and Tenacity people to scale. The next-generation leader whose Working Genius does not match the role they are about to inherit. These are the situations where Working Genius becomes a succession tool, not just a team tool.

His facilitation style is direct and unpolished in the best sense. He names what he sees without softening it. If your team dynamic includes an unspoken power struggle or a misalignment nobody wants to address, Marcus will surface it in the first hour.

6. Rooted Consulting Group

Rooted Consulting Group is a Dallas consultancy focused on team health and organisational culture work. Their facilitators use Working Genius alongside other team assessment tools to build comprehensive pictures of how leadership teams actually operate versus how they think they operate.

Their sessions are designed for teams that have tried other frameworks and found them useful but incomplete. Working Genius becomes the missing piece that explains why a talented team with strong relational trust still cannot execute together.

Rooted builds longer-term engagements rather than one-off workshops. A typical engagement includes an initial Working Genius session, a 90-day implementation phase with monthly check-ins, and a follow-up session to recalibrate based on what the team learned in practice.

WORKING GENIUS IN SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TEAMS

School principals and heads of school in Dallas face a version of the Working Genius challenge that corporate teams rarely see. You inherit staff you did not hire. You lead people whose geniuses may not align with the roles the school structure requires. You cannot simply reassign a teacher from Year 3 to Year 5 because their Working Genius says Invention when the role requires Tenacity.

The facilitators below understand the constraints school leaders operate under and bring Working Genius into the leadership team with that context front of mind. The goal is not to restructure the entire school. The goal is to help your senior leadership team work together better so the rest of the school feels the difference.

7. Heather Grant

Heather Grant is a former school principal turned leadership consultant who facilitates Working Genius sessions specifically for school leadership teams across Texas. She understands the rhythm of the school year, the board dynamics that shape decision-making, and the staff culture challenges that make team alignment harder in schools than in most corporate settings.

Heather facilitates Working Genius with an eye toward what is actually movable inside a school structure. You cannot change the fact that your deputy principal is required to do Enablement work. But you can change how much Wonder and Invention work you pile on top of that, and you can shift meeting structures so the Galvanisers on your team are not burning out in compliance work.

Her sessions include practical assignment audits. She will take the actual responsibilities your leadership team carries, map them to Working Genius types, and show you where the biggest energy drains are happening. Then she helps you redistribute, delegate, or eliminate.

8. Education Leadership Collaborative

Education Leadership Collaborative works with independent schools, charter networks, and Catholic school systems across Dallas. Their facilitators bring Working Genius into senior leadership teams and board governance groups, with a focus on decision-making clarity and role alignment at the executive level.

Their strength is helping school leaders distinguish between a behaviour problem and a Working Genius problem. The board member who derails every meeting with questions is not necessarily being difficult. They might be a Discernment genius in a room full of Galvanisers who have already moved to execution. The assistant principal who never finishes projects is not lazy. They might be a Wonder-Invention pairing stuck in Tenacity work.

Sessions are typically half-day formats built into existing leadership retreats or professional development days. They integrate smoothly into the school calendar rather than requiring separate offsite time.

9. Jamie Lawson

Jamie Lawson is a leadership coach who works with school heads and senior leadership teams in private and charter schools across the Dallas region. She uses Working Genius as a diagnostic tool in one-on-one coaching and as a facilitation framework in team sessions.

What makes Jamie effective is her ability to help school leaders see their own Working Genius first. Most heads lead from Wonder or Galvanising and then feel frustrated when their team does not move at the same speed. Jamie helps you recognise that the frustration is a pairing problem, not a people problem.

Her team facilitation sessions are built around real decisions the leadership team is facing right now. Budget priorities for next year. A staffing decision that has stalled. A strategic initiative that launched with energy but lost momentum. She maps the decision across the six types and shows you where the process is breaking down.

10. The Greenhouse Collective

The Greenhouse Collective is a Dallas-based team that works with school leadership groups, nonprofit boards, and ministry teams. Their facilitators use Working Genius to help mission-driven teams move faster without burning out the people doing the work.

Their sessions focus heavily on the pairing combinations that create the most friction. Wonder-Discernment pairings that ask great questions but never land on an answer. Galvanising-Tenacity pairings that execute fast but skip the ideation and discernment phases. Invention-Enablement pairings that generate ideas and clear obstacles but struggle to sell the vision to the rest of the team. For answers to common questions about how these pairing dynamics work in practice, the Working Genius FAQ covers over 100 questions from school leaders, CEOs, and nonprofit directors.

The Greenhouse builds follow-up rhythms into every engagement. Monthly 90-minute check-ins over Zoom where the team processes what is working, what is not, and what needs adjusting based on the Working Genius map you built together.

CORPORATE AND EXECUTIVE TEAM FACILITATION

Corporate leadership teams in Dallas hire Working Genius facilitators when the executive team is talented individually but cannot align when it matters. The offsite went well. The strategy deck is polished. The leadership team still cannot make a decision without three follow-up meetings and a side conversation in the car park afterwards.

Working Genius explains why. The people in the room are wired for different types of work. The CEO whose genius is Wonder keeps reopening decisions the COO thought were closed. The CFO whose genius is Discernment keeps poking holes in ideas the CMO is ready to launch. Nobody is wrong. The team is just operating without a shared understanding of what phase of work they are in and who should be leading it.

The facilitators below bring Working Genius into corporate teams with the business context and executive presence that make the framework land at the senior level. For the design principles behind a high-impact executive team offsite, that guide covers what separates sessions that stick from sessions that fade.

11. Ryan Pierce

Ryan Pierce is a Certified Working Genius Facilitator and executive coach who works with C-suite teams in Dallas and across the southern United States. His background is in operations and scaling, which shapes how he facilitates Working Genius sessions for leadership teams managing growth, transition, or restructuring.

Ryan does not facilitate Working Genius as a personality tool. He facilitates it as a performance tool. In a typical session, he will take a recent project that underperformed or stalled and reverse-engineer it through the Working Genius lens. Where did the process skip a phase? Who was assigned work outside their genius? What type of work is nobody on the team naturally wired to do, and how is that gap costing you?

His post-session work includes role redesign recommendations. If your COO is spending 60 percent of their week in Enablement when their genius is Discernment and Galvanising, Ryan will show you what that misalignment is costing in decision speed and energy, and he will help you build a plan to shift it.

12. Apex Leadership Solutions

Apex Leadership Solutions is a Dallas consultancy that works with executive teams in technology, professional services, and private equity-backed businesses. Their facilitators use Working Genius alongside other diagnostic tools to help leadership teams move from strategy to execution without the friction that typically slows them down.

Their sessions are tightly structured and outcome-focused. You will not spend three hours talking about your feelings. You will spend three hours mapping the six Working Geniuses to the actual strategic priorities on your roadmap, identifying where the team has gaps, and building a plan to fill them through hiring, delegation, or role adjustment.

Apex builds Working Genius into leadership team offsites as part of a larger strategic alignment process. The model becomes the operating system the team uses to assign ownership, structure meetings, and make decisions faster.

13. Michelle Torres

Michelle Torres is a leadership consultant and Working Genius facilitator who works with executive teams in healthcare, education, and nonprofit sectors across Dallas. Her facilitation style blends the rigor of the Working Genius framework with the relational intelligence required to navigate senior team dynamics.

Michelle is especially effective with leadership teams where trust is fragile. The executive team that has been through a leadership transition. The team managing a merger or restructure. The team recovering from a failed initiative that left people questioning each other. She uses Working Genius to depersonalise conflict and reframe it as structural misalignment rather than relational breakdown.

Her sessions include private one-on-one debriefs after the group facilitation. This creates space for the CFO to name that they feel steamrolled by the CEO, or for the COO to admit they are drowning in work they hate. The follow-up plan reflects what people said privately, not just what the group agreed to publicly.

14. Strategic Clarity Partners

Strategic Clarity Partners is a Dallas firm that works with mid-market companies and family businesses navigating growth, succession, or leadership transitions. Their facilitators use Working Genius to help executive teams build role clarity and decision-making structures that survive the transition process.

Their strength is helping leadership teams see where the current structure reflects the founder's Working Genius rather than what the business actually needs now. The founder built the company in Wonder-Invention mode. The business now needs Enablement and Tenacity at the executive level to scale. The leadership team is full of people hired in the founder's image, and the business has outgrown them.

Strategic Clarity uses Working Genius to diagnose that gap and build a succession plan that reflects what the next stage requires, not what worked in the previous stage.

15. David Chen

David Chen is an executive coach and Certified Working Genius Facilitator based in Dallas who works primarily with founder-led businesses and executive teams in high-growth environments. His facilitation approach is diagnostic and action-oriented, built for teams that do not have time for theory but need practical frameworks that produce immediate clarity.

David brings Working Genius into teams where the challenge is speed. The leadership team that makes decisions in the hallway because the meeting process is too slow. The executive group that keeps revisiting closed decisions because nobody is clear on who owns what. The strategy that stalls because the people responsible for execution were not part of the ideation phase.

He maps Working Genius to decision rights, meeting structures, and project ownership in the same session. You leave knowing who leads which phase of work, what meetings need restructuring, and what roles need redefining.

WORKING GENIUS FOR NONPROFIT AND MISSION-DRIVEN TEAMS

Nonprofit leadership teams in Dallas carry a version of the Working Genius challenge that corporate teams rarely face. You are under-resourced, over-committed, and operating in a culture that treats burnout as proof of dedication. Your team is talented and mission-aligned, but alignment around purpose does not automatically create alignment around process.

Working Genius helps nonprofit teams stop glorifying exhaustion and start building sustainable team structures. The executive director whose genius is Wonder and Galvanising does not need to also do all the Enablement and Tenacity work. The development director whose genius is Invention does not need to also manage donor stewardship, which is pure Tenacity. The program director whose genius is Discernment is not being difficult when they slow down a decision. They are doing the work the team needs and nobody else is wired to do. For 25 practical moves to make a Working Genius culture stick beyond the offsite, that guide covers the implementation phase most organisations skip.

The facilitators below bring Working Genius into nonprofit and mission-driven teams with the sector knowledge and cultural sensitivity that make the framework land without feeling like corporate jargon imported into mission work.

16. Anna Rodriguez

Anna Rodriguez is a nonprofit consultant and Working Genius facilitator who works with social services organisations, arts nonprofits, and community development groups across Dallas. She understands the nonprofit funding cycle, the board dynamics that complicate decision-making, and the staff culture patterns that make team alignment harder in mission-driven environments.

Anna facilitates Working Genius with an emphasis on sustainability. Nonprofit teams burn out because they assign all six types of work to a three-person leadership team and wonder why people leave. She helps teams see where the work is stacking, where the energy drains are happening, and what can be delegated, eliminated, or restructured.

Her sessions include a donor and board communication component. She helps nonprofit leaders frame Working Genius insights in ways that make sense to funders and board members who control resources and role definitions.

17. Serve Dallas Leadership Cohort

Serve Dallas runs leadership development cohorts for nonprofit executives and emerging leaders across the Dallas region. Their facilitators integrate Working Genius into cohort programming as a shared language that participants can take back to their own teams.

The advantage of the cohort model is peer learning. Nonprofit leaders see how other organisations are using Working Genius to solve similar challenges. The executive director who thought they were the only one drowning in Enablement work realises six other EDs in the room are facing the same pattern.

Cohort participants receive individual Working Genius coaching as part of the programme, plus access to facilitated team sessions they can bring back to their own leadership groups.

18. Josh Martin

Josh Martin is a leadership coach who works with church staff teams, parachurch organisations, and faith-based nonprofits in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. He uses Working Genius to help ministry teams move faster without burning out the people doing the work.

Josh facilitates Working Genius with an understanding of the unique dynamics in ministry settings. The senior pastor whose genius is Wonder and Galvanising but whose role requires massive amounts of Enablement and Tenacity work. The worship pastor stuck in administrative tasks when their genius is Invention. The executive pastor carrying the Discernment load for the entire staff team because nobody else will slow down long enough to ask the hard questions.

His sessions focus on role clarity and boundary-setting, two things ministry teams struggle with because the work always feels urgent and the needs always feel endless. Working Genius gives the team permission to stop pretending everyone can do everything and start building structures that reflect how people are actually wired.

19. The Center for Nonprofit Leadership

The Center for Nonprofit Leadership is a Dallas-based organisation that provides training, coaching, and consulting for nonprofit executives and boards. Their facilitators use Working Genius in board governance sessions and executive team offsites to build decision-making clarity and role alignment at the leadership level.

Their strength is helping nonprofit boards and staff teams work together without the friction that typically exists between governance and operations. Board members whose genius is Discernment often frustrate staff teams whose genius is Galvanising and Enablement. Staff teams whose genius is Wonder and Invention often frustrate boards who need Tenacity and follow-through. Working Genius depersonalises the tension and reframes it as complementary rather than oppositional.

Sessions include governance structure recommendations based on the Working Genius profile of the board and staff leadership. Some boards need more Wonder and Discernment people. Some need more Galvanising and Enablement. The Center helps you see what your board actually needs versus what you have.

20. Rachel Kim

Rachel Kim is a consultant and facilitator who works with immigrant-serving nonprofits, refugee resettlement agencies, and multicultural organisations across Dallas. She brings Working Genius into teams where cultural context shapes how people understand work, leadership, and team dynamics.

Rachel facilitates Working Genius with sensitivity to the fact that the framework was built in a Western individualistic context and needs translation in collectivist team cultures. She helps teams see where cultural expectations and Working Genius wiring are creating friction, and she builds solutions that honour both.

Her sessions include a focus on implicit bias in role assignment. Teams often assign Enablement and Tenacity work to women and people of colour while reserving Wonder and Galvanising work for white men. Rachel surfaces that pattern and helps teams reassign work based on actual genius rather than cultural assumption.

WORKING GENIUS IN FAMILY BUSINESS AND SUCCESSION PLANNING

Family businesses in Dallas use Working Genius facilitators when the challenge is not just team alignment but generational transition. The founder whose genius built the company is not the same genius the company needs now. The next-generation leader is talented but wired differently than the founder, and the family is treating that difference as a deficit rather than recognising it as the thing the business actually needs in the next stage.

Working Genius becomes a succession diagnostic. It shows you where the founder's genius shaped the business structure, where that structure is now misaligned with what the business requires, and what type of leader the business needs next. The answer is often someone whose Working Genius is the opposite of the founder's, which is why succession feels so hard. The family is mourning the loss of the founder's genius instead of celebrating the arrival of the genius the business now needs.

The facilitators below bring Working Genius into family business settings with the relational intelligence and business acumen required to navigate succession without blowing up the family.

21. Laura Bennett

Laura Bennett is a family business consultant and Working Genius facilitator who works with second- and third-generation family businesses across Texas. She uses Working Genius to help families separate business needs from family loyalty when making succession and leadership decisions.

Laura facilitates Working Genius sessions that include both the current leadership generation and the next generation. This creates shared language across generations and surfaces misalignments early. The founder sees that the next-generation leader is not a weaker version of them. They are a different Working Genius, and the business needs that difference.

Her sessions include role redesign conversations. The founder does not have to retire fully. They can shift into the phases of work that match their genius and hand off the rest. The next-generation leader does not have to do the job exactly the way the founder did it. They can build a role that reflects their genius and hire or delegate the rest.

22. Family Business Institute Dallas

Family Business Institute Dallas provides consulting, coaching, and facilitation for family-owned businesses navigating growth, governance, and generational transition. Their facilitators use Working Genius as part of a broader succession planning and family governance process.

Their sessions focus on building shared decision-making frameworks that survive the emotional complexity of family dynamics. Working Genius becomes the neutral language the family uses to talk about who should lead what without the conversation becoming about favouritism, loyalty, or family hierarchy.

They integrate Working Genius into family council meetings and board sessions, creating alignment at both the family level and the business level.

23. Steven Park

Steven Park is an executive coach and Working Genius facilitator who works with family businesses in manufacturing, distribution, and professional services across Dallas. His background is in operations and finance, which shapes how he facilitates Working Genius in business-focused rather than family-focused contexts.

Steven uses Working Genius to help family businesses make the hard calls about who stays in leadership and who transitions out. The family member in a senior role because of their last name, not because their Working Genius fits the role. The non-family executive who is outperforming the family leader but will never be promoted because of family politics. The sibling rivalry that is costing the business speed and decisiveness.

His facilitation is direct and data-driven. He maps roles to Working Genius requirements, shows you where the gaps are, and builds a plan that prioritises business health over family comfort. The family does not always like what he surfaces. But they respect it because it is true.

24. NextGen Leadership Group

NextGen Leadership Group works with family businesses preparing next-generation leaders to step into senior roles. Their facilitators use Working Genius to help rising leaders understand their own wiring and build roles that fit their genius rather than replicating the founder's role.

Their strength is helping next-generation leaders see that succession is not about becoming a copy of the founder. It is about recognising what the business needs now and building a leadership structure that delivers it. If the founder's genius was Wonder-Invention and the business now needs Galvanising-Enablement, the next leader should be wired for Galvanising-Enablement, not pressured to perform Wonder-Invention.

Sessions include individual Working Genius coaching for the rising leader, family facilitation for the ownership group, and executive team sessions for the senior leadership reporting to the next-generation leader.

25. Patricia Ng

Patricia Ng is a consultant who works with Asian family businesses and immigrant-founded businesses across Dallas. She uses Working Genius to help families navigate succession in cultural contexts where family hierarchy and business performance create unique tension.

Patricia facilitates Working Genius with cultural humility and business clarity. She helps families honour the founder's legacy while building the business structure the next stage requires. She surfaces the generational and cultural gaps that make succession harder in immigrant family businesses and builds solutions that respect both the family's values and the business's needs.

Her sessions include extended family stakeholder conversations. In many immigrant family businesses, decision-making authority is diffuse and generational. Patricia helps the family see who holds real influence, what their Working Genius is, and how to structure governance so the business can move faster without alienating the elders who built it.

WORKING GENIUS FACILITATORS IN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND CONSULTING FIRMS

Professional services firms and consulting practices in Dallas use Working Genius facilitators when the partnership is talented but stuck. The equity partners cannot agree on strategy. The senior associate group is burning out. The firm keeps losing high performers who say the culture does not fit.

Working Genius shows you why. The managing partner whose genius is Galvanising-Enablement keeps assigning Wonder-Discernment work to associates wired for Invention-Tenacity. The partnership is full of Discernment geniuses who slow every decision to analyse risk, and the firm has no Galvanisers to move ideas to action. The senior associate whose genius is Wonder keeps getting told to focus and execute, when the real issue is they are in the wrong role.

The facilitators below bring Working Genius into professional services settings with the industry knowledge and partnership dynamics experience that make the framework land in firms where everyone thinks they are already high-performing.

26. Greg Hamilton

Greg Hamilton is a consultant and Working Genius facilitator who works with law firms, accounting practices, and consulting firms across Dallas. His background in professional services shapes how he facilitates Working Genius in partnership settings where decision-making is consensus-driven and role clarity is often fuzzy.

Greg uses Working Genius to surface the unspoken power dynamics in partnerships. The senior partner whose genius is Wonder but whose role requires Enablement and Tenacity. The junior partner doing all the Galvanising work but getting none of the credit because the firm does not value that type of work. The associate group assigned client work that requires Discernment when most of them are wired for Invention and Enablement.

His sessions focus on building decision rights and role clarity at the partnership level. Who leads business development. Who leads operations. Who leads talent development. The answers should reflect Working Genius, not seniority or billable hours.

27. Partnership Dynamics Consulting

Partnership Dynamics Consulting works with professional services firms navigating partnership transitions, succession planning, and governance restructuring. Their facilitators use Working Genius to help partnerships build decision-making structures that reflect how partners are actually wired rather than defaulting to consensus models that satisfy no one.

Their sessions are built for partners who do not have time for theory. You will spend two hours mapping the partnership's collective Working Genius profile, identifying where the firm has gaps, and building a governance model that assigns decision authority based on genius rather than equity share.

They integrate Working Genius into partner retreat agendas and use the framework to structure hiring criteria, promotion decisions, and client team assignments.

28. Dr. Simone Parker

Dr. Simone Parker is an organisational psychologist and Working Genius facilitator who works with consulting firms, engineering practices, and advisory firms in Dallas. She brings academic rigor and practical application to Working Genius facilitation, blending the framework with team systems thinking and leadership development research.

Simone facilitates Working Genius for firms where the challenge is scaling. The firm that grew from 15 people to 60 people in three years and the partnership structure that worked at 15 is breaking at 60. The managing partner who built the firm in their genius is now the bottleneck because they have not built a team that complements their genius.

Her sessions include organisational design recommendations. She maps the firm's structure to Working Genius requirements and shows you where roles need splitting, where leadership needs adding, and where the partnership is holding onto work they should delegate.

29. Keller Advisory Group

Keller Advisory Group is a Dallas consultancy that works with financial advisory firms, wealth management practices, and investment groups. Their facilitators use Working Genius to help advisory teams build client service models that reflect how advisors are actually wired rather than forcing everyone into the same relationship management role.

Their strength is helping advisory firms see that not every advisor needs to be great at every phase of the client relationship. Some advisors are Wonder-Invention geniuses who excel at strategy and planning. Others are Enablement-Tenacity geniuses who excel at implementation and follow-through. The firm that tries to make every advisor do both is burning out talent and losing clients.

Keller uses Working Genius to build role specialisation inside advisory teams. Lead advisor, planning advisor, implementation advisor, client service manager. Each role maps to a Working Genius pairing, and the firm hires and develops talent accordingly.

30. Rebecca Lawson

Rebecca Lawson is a leadership coach and Working Genius facilitator who works with women-led professional services firms and women partners in male-dominated practices. She uses Working Genius to help women leaders see where they are performing to someone else's genius instead of leading from their own.

Rebecca facilitates Working Genius with a gender lens. Professional services firms often reward Galvanising and Tenacity while undervaluing Wonder and Discernment. Women partners whose genius is Wonder-Discernment get told they are too slow, too cautious, not aggressive enough. The real issue is the firm's culture reflects the genius of the men who built it, and women are being measured against a standard that does not fit how they are wired.

Her sessions help women leaders build roles and practices that honour their genius rather than performing someone else's. She also works with firm leadership to reshape partnership criteria and promotion standards so the firm values all six types of work, not just the two the founding partners happen to excel in.

Your next step is finding the facilitator whose approach matches what your team actually needs. Look at the sector experience, the facilitation style, and the post-session support structure. Working Genius only changes teams when the session leads to real role shifts, meeting changes, and reassigned work. The right facilitator builds that follow-through into the engagement from the start.

Reach out at jonno@consultclarity.org if you want to explore what a Working Genius session could surface in your leadership team. Your team is not broken. The work is just misaligned with how people are wired.
