- SBDC Webinar: Discover Your Genius. Transform Your Team
August 24, 10 am
Patrick Lencioni, author of "The 6 Types of Working Genius" believes that far too many people in the world suffer needlessly because they don't understand their personal areas of working genius. As a result, they don't do the kind of work that gives them joy and energy, and they end up in jobs and projects that are draining and demoralizing.
In this 1.5 hour workshop, you will learn how to identify your own Working Geniuses as well as those of your team members, increasing productivity and job satisfaction while avoiding burnout.
