The Six Types of Working Genius framework helps leaders and teams understand how work actually gets done and why projects sometimes stall. Through a simple but powerful assessment, teams gain clarity on each person’s natural strengths, where they add the most value, and which types of work drain their energy. The result is greater alignment, stronger collaboration, clearer roles, and a team that works together more effectively from idea to execution.

“The New Principal Cohort allowed me to analyze my school's climate and culture, and to dig deeper into the issues detected. I was able to address this personally with Michelle, and those one-on-ones were exclusive moments to support my ongoing reflection on those issues while growing in confidence in my role as principal.”
