Stop Trying to Be Good at Everything

Discover What You're Actually Wired to Excel At

Most professionals burn out trying to master every skill. But top performers? They focus on their natural strengths and build everything else around them.

What If You Could...

  • Understand why some work drains you — and some fuels you

  • Find joy and energy in your work

  • Alleviate guilt over tasks you struggle with

  • Learn how to avoid burnout and frustration

  • Improve collaboration and communication

  • Become a more focused and fulfilled contributor

Here’s the Truth

You’re not supposed to be great at everything.
 But you are supposed to know what you’re great at.

When you know your Genius, you stop over functioning. You stop wasting energy.
You start working in alignment.

This isn’t fluff. It’s science-backed, people-tested, and results-driven.

"The Working Genius model unlocked so much clarity in my own life and work. It gave me language for both my gifts and my frustrations—and helped me stop apologizing for how I’m wired. That’s why I created this course. I want to help others go deeper than just knowing their results. I want them to feel empowered to live their Genius, avoid burnout, and contribute in ways that feel natural and fulfilling."

And yes—it really can start with just a 10-minute assessment.

What Others Are Saying

“I just finished catching up on the Working Genius recording, and I absolutely loved it! My top two geniuses are Wonder and Discernment... and it’s SO accurate. This framework has given me such incredible clarity. I’ve been reflecting on all my group projects, even back in college, and it all makes so much sense now. Just yesterday, I realized I was using my Discernment strength in a meeting without even being fully aware of it. Thank you so much for this session—it’s been so impactful!”
