The B/CS Chamber of Commerce and Rock Lake Retreats invite you to a Lunch and Learn event covering the "6 Types of Working Genius: Why great people still get frustrated at work" on Monday, July 13th from 11:45 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Are your people in the right seats? Are your meetings creating clarity or confusion? Is your team leveraging everyone's strengths—or expecting everyone to work the same way?
Join us for a practical Lunch & Learn on the 6 Types of Working Genius. You'll discover how work naturally progresses from idea to execution, why some tasks energize people while others drain them, and how understanding each person's strengths can reduce burnout, improve communication, and increase team productivity. Whether you lead a small business, a department, or an entire organization, you'll leave with tools you can apply immediately to build a more effective and engaged team.
What You'll Learn
- Discover your natural Working Genius and where you bring the most value.
- Understand the six stages of productive work: Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity.
- Learn why some projects stall, some meetings drag on, and some teams struggle to execute.
- Identify the hidden causes of burnout, frustration, and meeting fatigue.
- Understand how different team members contribute at different stages of the work process.
- Learn how to distinguish between a performance problem and a role-alignment problem.
- Gain practical tools to improve communication, delegation, meetings, and team performance.
- Learn how to use the "Decision Line" to create clarity, accountability, and alignment.
Why It Matters
- Most workplace frustration isn't caused by lack of effort—it's caused by misalignment.
- Great employees can appear disengaged or ineffective when they're consistently working outside their areas of genius.
- Leaders often evaluate others through the lens of their own strengths, unintentionally overlooking valuable contributions.
- Teams perform best when they understand and leverage the unique strengths of every member.
- When work moves through all six stages, projects gain momentum and execution improves.
- Better alignment reduces burnout, increases engagement, and helps people enjoy their work.
- More productive meetings lead to better decisions and stronger results.
