This week on the podcast I am sharing the audio from my recent workshop on the Working Genius pairings. 

You can look at the workshop workbook here.

In the Working Genius model, each of us has 2 of the 6 geniuses (Wonder, Ideation, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity).  

Therefore, there are 15 various combinations of genius pairs. 

Because the geniuses play off each other and correspond to different stages of work, your unique pairing has implications for your impact on the team and what stages of work your contributions best fit. 

Take a listen and see if you can identify your pair of geniuses. It can improve relationships, work effectiveness, and be truly life changing to know this about yourself and to believe in YOUR genius. ! 

Main points: 

• Each of us has a pair of geniuses that make unique combinations that are expressed differently, depending on which genius is most dominant.
• Are your two areas of genius at the beginning (ideation) of the work process?  In the middle(activation)?  At the end (finishing)?  Split between stages?
• Understanding your unique pairing can help you understand how and when you best can contribute at which stage of work
  • Take note where you (and the team) would benefit from you backing off/stepping aside to allow others to step in.
  • Instead of skipping over the steps that aren’t in your area of genius - collaborate with others! 
• This self awareness can help you not only be more productive but also can help keep your energy aligned and prevent you from burning out due to working in your areas of non-genius.

A Vibrant Life is one where we are healthy physically, mentally, and emotionally in each season of life.  We can create practices that help us rest well and stay in aligned energy.  I’ve created a tool to help identify our energy levels at any given moment and notice when we are out of alignment. Your energy will ebb and flow like ocean waves. It’s okay to adapt your routines to these fluctuations. By doing so, you'll avoid burnout and create a life filled with purpose and joy.  Take a listen and find out how.  

Main points: 

• Physical Energy: Are you physically exhausted? Consider activities like yoga, a nap, or just some quiet time to rejuvenate.
• Mental Energy: Are you in flow and handling complex tasks with ease? Identify what drains you mentally and find ways to refill that tank.
• Emotional Energy: Recognize what fuels you emotionally. Whether it's connecting with friends, enjoying solitude, or listening to music. Identify what you need to refresh and feed your soul, like reading scripture, enjoying silence, or spending time in nature.

Take a listen to today’s episode as Kelly encourages us to visualize the life and the home we wish to create.  Creating a Home you Love Coming Home To is not just about tidying up your spaces—it's about aligning your environment with your personal values. The goal is less about your home and more about YOU. 

Main Points: 

• What values do you want in your home? I want my home to be calm. I don't want it to be cluttered and overwhelming. I want to make sure that my home feels inviting..
• Think of 3 things that are working and 3 that are not working.
• When items in that space no longer reflect your values  you want it to reflect, let those things go- say “thank you and goodbye”.

Like healthy boundaries in relationships, healthy boundaries within the spaces in our homes can create a sense of organization and peace. 

Decluttering begins with your values and your identity, which requires emotional and mental energy. Take a listen to my conversation with organization expert Amy Slanker Smith, of Simply Enough, and take charge of your home and life. 

Amy shares her tools to help all of us spend more time with family, not stuff. Her mission is to help busy women free themselves from clutter, create an organized home, and save hours in their day.

Main points: 

• Commit to an identity as an organized person. 
• Consider your values; filter everything through those values, including your possessions. Only keep physical items that fit within the boundary of what you decided is important to you. 
• Declutter BEFORE attempting to organize.

When you notice your current stage of life, does it reflect the pace you want for yourself? If it does not align, consider an identity shift.

 Practice making small mindful choices every day so you can create a more peaceful and productive life.  Listen in for some practical steps on how to take control of the pace of your life! 

Main points: 

• How do you label yourself?  Identity is the starting point.  If you see yourself as a “hot mess” or “always late”,  you’ll likely continue to automatically behave that way. 
• Think long term-rather than overwhelming yourself with drastic life changes and unrealistic goals. We don't have to change everything at once, but we can take small steps daily in the right direction.
• Choose one area to start, such as phone use, eating, or driving.

Peaceful productivity sounds nice doesn’t it? 

 But what does it actually mean to you? If you’ve decided to commit yourself to moving towards a more peacefully productive life, you first need to have a vision of what that looks like for YOU.  It’s important to notice what thoughts and patterns you have on repeat that aren’t serving you by keeping you in a fast and frenetic pattern (e.g., like saying yes to things you don’t actually have the energy, time, or resources for). 

Take some time to picture a pattern of peaceful productivity in your mind before you make a specific action plan.  Listen in as I describe how to create a vision that works for you!

Main points: 

• Words. Notice and write down what words describe a peaceful, productive vibe for you. What words line up with your values?  Careful, intentional,  on purpose?  Choose also words that are NOT serving you that you can avoid - like perfection, frenetic, or overwhelmed.
• Colors/Images. Picture a room where you could do peacefully productive work. Describe the furniture, lighting, atmosphere, smells, colors.  Anything that brings your body and mind a sense of peace and alignment.  
• Music.   Is there a type of music that brings you a sense of peace? What songs or instruments or genre bring you to a state of alignment, calm, or energetic? Is there different music for different activities? 
• Thoughts. Our thoughts can be a powerful force in our lives for good or bad.  We have a choice.  But our thoughts need constant supervision. Choose what power thoughts will help you stay in aligned peaceful productive energy.   
• Feelings. Some of our feelings move us exactly in the direction we want to go and others hold us back.  Which feelings do you want driving your decisions? Some of mine are committed, determined, and resilient.  You can choose! 
• Actions. Based on all that you just noticed and wrote down, what practices, small action steps or activities that line up with peaceful productivity do you want to have on repeat in your life?  What do you want to say yes or no to?

What's your desired legacy? What do you want to leave behind? 

On the podcast this week, Coach Kelly shares how she wants to be an extraordinary, ordinary woman. Romans 12:1-2 encourages us to use our ordinary gifts and show up in a powerful way. Every gift is worth sharing. 

Here’s a powerful thought to try on:  we can be extraordinary and ordinary at the same time. 

In this age of social media, it can seem like our simple lives are not enough. We often question if we should be achieving more, making more money, or simply doing more.  How much “more” is enough?  

Small actions and small words of encouragement matter more than you think. They can create a ripple effect of positivity in the world.  This week’s episode helps you recognize the importance of your unique gifts , your simple acts & words of kindness,  and allows you to know that they are worth sharing. 

Main points: 

• Consider the wisdom it takes to know the difference between what you can and can’t control in your life.
• What insight do you have that's moving you forward, that's helping you notice what's important to you?
• Believe that your gift is worth sharing. 
• Use your ordinary gifts and show up in a powerful way.
