What are the 6 Types of Working Geniuses explained?

Delve into the six unique geniuses: Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity. Each represents a distinct role in the process of getting work done from beginning to end. What we have found is that each individual has two of these roles that bring them joy and energy to do, these we call their Geniuses. They also have two of these that drain them of energy to do.

We call these Competencies.
