Grow Forward: Prevent Burnout with Working Genius
October 22, 2026 | 2 min to read
AmericanHort is scheduling a webinar for Thursday, October 22, 2026, 12:30–1:30 PM ET, on Grow Forward: Prevent Burnout with Working Genius.
Every team runs into two familiar frustrations: some tasks feel effortless while others drain us, and even great ideas stall somewhere between conception and completion.
The Working Genius model, developed by Patrick Lencioni, gives teams a shared language for understanding why that happens, and a practical way to work better together. This session introduces the model’s foundations to attendees in a fast-paced, discussion-rich format.
You’ll learn:
- The Three Stages of Work: how every project or initiative moves through Ideation, Activation, and Implementation, and why teams stall when a stage is under-resourced or rushed.
- An Overview of Working Genius: the six types of genius (Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity), what energizes vs. drains each of us, and how to spot genius, competency, and frustration in ourselves and colleagues.
- The Altitude of Work: how the model applies at three different levels — organizational strategy, team projects, and individual meetings — so participants can use it beyond a single team, in whatever role they hold.
The webinar is included with AmericanHort membership, and $49 for non-members.
