I did the Working Genius assessment at work. It was so eye opening! I’d always felt like I could not hang with my other leadership friends because I never felt like I had good ideas and always felt inadequate when told to re-invent a project. Now I know W&I are my frustrations and my strengths are in G&E! The podcast has helped me understand myself and those around me so much better. Thank you to the WIDGET team!

I love this podcast! It resonates so deeply with me as I have been in leadership roles both in the corporate world and within my church. Not only do these topics intrigue and help me, but it’s easy to listen to throughout my workday. I love their sense of humor and find myself wishing I could be a fly on their wall while they record these conversations!

Love the material, and the podcast covers good ground in going deeper with what’s presented in the book, the assessment, and further research. My one quibble is that either they have too many people on each episode, or there’s not enough room for the other contributors to talk. Mostly it’s Pat, Cody, and Beau talking, often talking a lot. I’d like to see more intentionality in asking Tracy and Matt to talk more, especially since they’re Responders. Sometimes it feels like they’re interrupted, or just not given much space.
