The Working Genius for Higher Education

Team Productivity Certified Facilitators

A practical tool that helps faculty, staff, and university leaders identify their natural gifts across six stages of work. Unlike a personality test, it's a productivity tool designed to improve how people collaborate and get work done.

Transform Your Campus Through:

  • Building stronger collaboration by aligning roles with strengths
  • Improving communication and decision-making in meetings
  • Reducing frustration and misjudgments within departments
  • Increasing efficiency so teams get more done with less burnout

When universities embrace Working Genius, they unlock the full potential of their people—leading to stronger teams, a healthier culture, and better outcomes for the campus community. Our certified facilitators guide colleges and universities through discovering why certain projects energize or drain faculty and staff, and how to clarify the types of work that bring joy and momentum.

Participants Will:

  • Build a strong foundation for leading themselves and others
  • Gain fresh insights from peers facing similar challenges
  • Apply practical strategies to their campus context

Each Core Group blends accountability, collaboration, and expert facilitation to help leaders explore proven leadership principles, tackle real-time challenges, and sharpen their skills.
