Show Notes

In this enlightening episode of the Writing at the Red House podcast, host Kathi Lipp welcomes back prolific author Barb Roose to discuss her unique approach to the writing process using Patrick Lencioni's Working Genius framework. 

Barb explains how understanding your natural strengths and frustrations in the six-phase process (Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity) can transform your writing productivity. She shares her practical system for breaking down projects – from articles to full-length books – into manageable phases that work with her natural abilities rather than against them. 

For writers who struggle with certain phases, Barb offers strategies to compensate, like taking walks during her "Wonder" phase or using pilot groups during "Invention." She explains how this system helps prevent deadline crashes and creates a more sustainable, enjoyable writing experience. 

Whether you're working on a book proposal, a Bible study, or regular articles, this conversation provides a valuable framework for structuring your writing process around your unique working genius.
