ENNEAGRAM Team Coaching

Organizations have one thing in common…diversity of work style. It is these professional style differences that make teams flow with innovative ideas or get bogged down by conflicts. Professional style differences create many of the conflicts in business relationships inhibiting performance and leading to workplace stress. How someone says something is likely to overshadow the importance of what is said.

The ability to welcome the best from different professional styles leads to greater individual and team effectiveness. Without this ability, conflict is likely to occur as differences become obstacles which sabotage success.

Imagine what could happen in your organization if people could understand and embrace differences in professional styles. We find it amazing that when people understand this simple concept, remarkable things begin to happen.

The Enneagram Workshop is designed to create better working relationships among the people in your organization.  We use the Enneagram as a framework for understanding differences, effective communication, team work and tapping into personal strengths. It applies to organizations both large and small and offers an in depth understanding of nine professional styles.  Each style brings with it a set of strengths, challenges and communication strategies that make up the organizational culture and climate.

Enneagram (ANY-a-gram) is derived from two Greek words ennea, (nine) and gram (something written or drawn) and refers to the nine points on the Enneagram model. It offers profound insights into the nine very different ways in which people think, feel, and behave. The premise is that each of us has a unique professional style or in other words we each have a unique method in managing ourselves and conducting ourselves in our work environment. The way we act is a direct expression of our professional style.

Helen Palmer-A noted author of the Enneagram says, “The Enneagram is one of the few systems that concerns itself with high-functioning behavior rather than pathology, and that it condenses a great deal of wisdom into a compact system that is relatively easy to understand.” Conventional theories related to psychology and professional development can often be beneficial in assisting us to develop insights into why we act and feel as we do. However, they do not necessarily give us the tools to transform some parts of ourselves that may keep us complacent and unhappy. The Enneagram is an effective tool, which guides us to change these parts of ourselves that keep us from experiencing freedom of choice, responsible communication, self-confidence, success and unlimited abundance.
