What if the thing you think is “just helping” is actually one of your greatest strengths? In this episode, Tina explores the Working Genius of Enablement with business and community leader Steve Manning. They unpack why Enablers are often loyal, responsive, and quick to support someone else’s vision, yet rarely see what they do as anything special. They also talk about the difference between wanting recognition and needing appreciation, why being overlooked can hit an Enabler so hard, and how to keep a gift for helping from turning into overcommitment, resentment, or rescuing. If your natural response is, “How can I help?” this episode may help you see the genius in what you’ve been doing all along. www.tinablount.com

What makes some people naturally able to rally others around an idea, a vision, or a next step? In this episode of our Working Genius series, Tina sits down with Jalisha Wynn to talk about the Genius of Galvanizing and why healthy persuasion isn’t manipulation. It’s about reading the room, communicating with passion, and inspiring people to move from idea to action. If you’re wired to get people moving, you just might be Persuasively Wired. www.tinablount.com

Some people just know. They can walk into a room, hear an idea, or look at a situation and instinctively sense what will work and what won’t. This week, I’m joined by Jenna Blount to talk about the Working Genius of Discernment, the gift of using intuition, judgment, and pattern recognition to evaluate ideas and help move work forward. We’ll talk about what it looks like when Discernment is working at its best, where it can get misunderstood, and how to work well with the discerning people in your life. Because Discernment isn’t just about having a gut feeling. It can be the bridge between a good idea and the right decision. www.tinablount.com

In this episode of the Be Blount Podcast, Tina continues the Working Genius series with a closer look at the Genius of Wonder... the gift of noticing what others may miss, asking thoughtful questions, and helping us pause before we rush into action. Tina is joined by her friend Janice Collazo for a real-life conversation about what Wonder looks and feels like from the inside. Together, they explore why Wonder is not overthinking, negativity, or resistance, but a meaningful way God wires people to see needs, recognize possibilities, and ask the questions that help us move forward with wisdom. If you have ever wondered why you notice things others overlook, or if you love someone who naturally asks, “What are we missing?” this episode will help you better understand, honor, and steward the gift of Wonder. Be who God created you to be. Then do what He has uniquely called you to do. Be, then Do. www.tinablount.com

Through the lens of faith and self-awareness, this conversation helps us value what we bring and what others bring too. Be, then Do. Learn more at www.tinablount.com
