\u201cZeke did a masterful job leading our Farm Bureau<\/a> board of directors through a Working Genius consultation<\/a>. After the time together, several board members commented that it was the best leadership training they’d received. We all agreed that the Working Genius language and ideas will make our team more productive right away.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“Zeke walked us through our Working Genius results at our EFCA Midwest District<\/a> ministry staff retreat this afternoon, and we continued to talk about it throughout the evening and the following morning. What we learned has already opened up several fruitful conversations and facilitated healthier team dialogue. Team members were released to speak constructively\u00a0from their ‘genius’ into situations normally considered outside their ‘silo.’ These Working Genius principles will help our team immediately and in the years to come.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“The patterns articulated by the Working Genius<\/a> consultation were incredibly insightful to help think through planning processes, both individually and corporately. The tools I gleaned from this assessment will aid me in concrete ways as I participate with and navigate team dynamics in a variety of situations. Zeke’s experience of leading his own teams gave wonderful examples of Working Genius being utilized in real life situations. His care for our team was evident as he considered each member’s contributions throughout our discussions.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cZeke and I have served together in ministry at Heartland EFC<\/a> for many years now, and it\u2019s been enjoyable. Yet, after he went through certification, then helped our staff go through the Working Genius discussion, I found a new depth to and appreciation for our ministry partnership. I\u2019ve gained clarity on my contribution to our staff team, and better understanding on my colleagues\u2019 geniuses and frustrations. I\u2019m certain that the language our team has gained through Working Genius will allow us to work closer and more affectively in the future.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
