Working Genius® Team Workshop | Improve Communication & Collaboration
Great teams don't just bring talented people together. They know how to make the most of each person's contribution.
Even in highly capable teams, people don't always understand what energises their colleagues, how they naturally approach work, or where they may need support.
These differences can lead to misunderstandings, frustration and missed opportunities to collaborate more effectively.
The 6 Types of Working Genius® provides a simple, practical framework for making those differences visible and turning them into better day-to-day collaboration. Rather than focusing solely on personality, the model helps teams understand where people naturally bring energy to the work - and how those strengths can be combined more intentionally.
Through a highly interactive workshop, your team will develop a shared language for discussing how they work together, identify opportunities to improve collaboration, and leave with practical agreements they can begin applying immediately.
What makes this workshop different
This isn't simply another assessment workshop. It's an opportunity for your team to have conversations about how they work together that rarely happen in the course of a busy working day.
Drawing on the Working Genius framework and Nurit's extensive experience in leadership and team development, the workshop is tailored to your team's particular dynamics and challenges.
Participants will discover what energises them, where they experience frustration, and how they can make better use of one another's strengths.
Most importantly, they'll explore what these insights mean for the way they work together, creating practical agreements and a shared language that continue to serve the team long after the workshop ends.
What clients typically say
“For me, the 6 Types of Working Genius workshop was one of those rare experiences that gives you a simple framework and then suddenly makes many things click. It helped our management team better understand what energizes each of us, why some tasks come naturally to some people but not to others, and who can help when we're stuck.
As a leader, it also helped me better understand what sometimes prevents our team from moving forward. Nurit led the workshop with a unique combination of insight, warmth, and practicality. She created conversations that were open, honest, and immediately relevant to our daily work. The impact was evident right away. One of our managers found so much value in the experience that she immediately arranged a workshop for her own team." - Raia Slivniak, Director and Head of Technology, HP Indigo.
“As someone who has participated in Nurit's workshop, I strongly recommend it. Nurit covers what I believe are the two most important principles of management - both in general and specifically in teamwork for achieving success - while providing practical tools to apply them effectively. The first is assigning tasks based on individual strengths, ensuring that each person engages in work that motivates them. The second is identifying and addressing gaps in team allocations.” - Michael Kokotov, PhD, Distinguished Technologist at HP Inc.

FAQs
What is The 6 Types of Working Genius®, and how is it different from other personality tools?
The 6 Types of Working Genius® focuses on how people contribute to getting work done, from the initial idea through to successful execution. Rather than exploring personality in depth, it identifies the types of work that energise or frustrate each person, helping teams understand how to combine their strengths more effectively. It's a practical, accessible framework that doesn't require participants to share personal or sensitive information.
Is this workshop suitable for senior leadership teams?
Absolutely. The workshop gives leadership teams an opportunity to turn the spotlight inwards, explore how they function as a group, and discover how to better leverage their collective strengths and motivations to improve collaboration and performance.
Can the workshop accommodate larger groups of 20, 50 or even 100 people?
Yes. The greatest value comes from conversations between people who work together. For larger groups, we can design a tailored format combining shared learning with smaller group discussions and activities, ensuring participants have meaningful opportunities to apply the insights to their own teams.
What do we need to provide on the day?
For online workshops, participants simply need a computer and a reliable internet connection. For in-person workshops, we'll need a suitable meeting space, a screen for the presentation, and space for smaller group activities where applicable.
Do participants complete an assessment beforehand?
Yes. Each participant completes an online Working Genius assessment before the workshop. It takes approximately 20 minutes, and each participant receives a personalised report.
What will our team take away from the workshop?
The benefits begin during the workshop itself. Participants leave with a better understanding of one another and practical ways to leverage their collective strengths. Over time, these insights can inform how responsibilities are shared, how meetings are run, and even future hiring decisions, helping the team work more effectively together.
