Reduce frustration. Improve collaboration. Help people do their best work.Build healthier teams.
Every team wants to work well together.
But even the most capable leaders and teams can find themselves feeling stuck. Meetings become draining, projects lose momentum, misunderstandings grow, and people begin carrying work that was never really theirs to carry.
Working Genius is a practical framework that helps individuals and teams understand how they naturally contribute, why frustration develops, and how to work together more effectively.
Whether you're leading a church, school, ministry, not-for-profit or leadership team, Working Genius provides practical language that transforms the way people communicate, collaborate and lead.
Why teams struggle
Rather than asking,
"Who isn't pulling their weight?"
a better question might be
"Are we asking people to contribute in ways that don't reflect how they're naturally wired?"
Many organisations don't have a people problem.
They have a clarity problem.
When teams don't understand one another's natural ways of contributing, it's easy for people to become frustrated, misunderstood or exhausted.
Over time this can lead to:
✔ communication breakdown
✔ decision fatigue
✔ conflict
✔ slow projects
✔ disengagement
✔ burnout
Working Genius provides a practical way to identify where people thrive, where they become drained, and how teams can work together more intentionally.
Working Genius is a simple and practical model developed by Patrick Lencioni and The Table Group.
What is Working Genius?
Rather than measuring personality, communication style or strengths, it identifies the six different types of work that are required for almost every project or initiative to succeed.
Every person has two areas of natural genius.
Two areas they can competently do when required.
And two areas that tend to feel frustrating or draining over time.
Understanding these patterns helps individuals and teams:
• appreciate one another's differences
• reduce unnecessary frustration
• improve collaboration
• lead with greater self-awareness
• create healthier ways of working
Instead of trying to become good at everything, Working Genius helps people understand where they naturally make their greatest contribution.

What happens in a workshop?
-
Each participant completes the official Working Genius assessment.
-
Together we'll unpack:
• your individual Working Genius profile
• how the six geniuses work together
• where frustration develops
• what your team naturally does well
• what may be missing
• practical ways to improve collaboration immediately
-
You'll leave with practical strategies that can be implemented straight away—not simply greater awareness, but concrete ways to improve communication, meetings, delegation and team effectiveness.
Beyond the workshop
One workshop can create enormous insight.
Long-term change happens when teams intentionally embed those insights into everyday leadership.
For organisations wanting ongoing support, workshops can be complemented with:
Professional Pastoral Supervision
Leadership coaching
Executive reflection
Team development
Leadership retreats
Culture conversations
This creates opportunities for leaders and teams to continue growing well beyond the initial workshop.
Why work with me?
I've spent more than twenty years serving in leadership across churches, schools and Christian organisations.
I understand the complexity of leading people, making difficult decisions, navigating ministry, and sustaining healthy leadership over the long term.
Working Genius is an outstanding framework.
But frameworks don't transform teams.
Conversations do.
Reflection does.
Intentional leadership does.
Alongside Working Genius facilitation, I bring extensive experience in leadership development, professional pastoral supervision and vocational resilience.
That means our workshops don't simply explain a model.
They help teams think differently about how they lead, communicate and work together.
