Mitch Bliven

Bio

Mitch is the founder of GNS and a Working Genius Certified Facilitator serving the Twin Cities metro area. His path started in social work, then moved to the private sector where he found a passion for using data to solve problems. Unfortunately this did not stop him from being entirely burned out. After eight years he was introduced to Working Genius which led him to discover that his natural gift of curiosity wasn't a nuisance, but his greatest professional strength.

Today, Mitch combines a human-centric perspective with data-driven rigor to design high-performing collaborative teams. Through the Working Genius framework, he helps organizations identify where team friction originates, align people to their natural strengths, and build communication systems that accelerate execution.
