Join us for our first Growth Starts Here podcast. Today, we’re diving into a game-changing framework that’s transforming the way teams work together—the Working Genius model. Created by Patrick Lencioni and The Table Group, Working Genius helps individuals discover how they’re naturally wired to contribute to work. It goes beyond personality to identify the six distinct types of “genius” needed to get any project off the ground—from ideation to execution.

Whether you’re leading a startup or managing a large organization, understanding Working Genius can be the key to reducing burnout, increasing productivity, and building healthier, more cohesive teams.

Joining us today is someone who lives and breathes this work—David Cherry. He’s a transformative leadership coach and a certified Working Genius facilitator, known for helping leaders and teams move from dysfunction and confusion to clarity, alignment, and impact. With a deep background in coaching and a passion for unlocking human potential, David brings a fresh perspective to leadership development and team dynamics.

In this conversation, we’ll explore how the Working Genius model can change the way you lead, collaborate, and build teams that don’t just function—they flourish.

Special offer from David: One nonprofit per month can experience this amazing workshop for only $500 plus $25 per participant for the assessment. Contact David at dpcherry.com to explore this offer for your organization.
