The Enneagram is an insightful, elegant, and very pragmatic approach to understanding people and their relationships. This program emphasizes the Enneagram’s applications to executive, leadership and team coaching, and is intended both for participants who have no exposure to the enneagram, and those who have extensive experience with the system.
Based on classical sources, the Enneagram describes nine world-views, nine different ways of doing business in the world. Each of the nine styles has its own natural gifts, limitations and blind spots; each has its own distinctive ways of thinking, acting and being.
The Enneagram teaches us in practical ways to see the world as others see it. You can then appreciate what others value and what they do not, and why they think and act the way they do. When you know someone’s Enneagram style, you can respond to their intent, instead of getting caught in their sometimes difficult or confounding behavior. You can nurture their fundamental strengths, and know in what situations they are likely to be rigid or unskillful. You can serve up your words and wisdom in a way that it can be heard, and you can inspire them from the inside out.The Enneagram explores what makes each of us truly unique.
Participants will
-
Work with the Enneagram system of personality types as a principal tool for executive coaching
-
Craft specific interventions designed to appreciate and support natural strengths
-
Enhance leadership and decision-making approaches of each style, and determine where these go awry
-
Work with style to resolve interpersonal and communication problems
