What is the Enneagram in the Workplace?
The Enneagram is a system of personality which describes people in terms of nine types, each with their own motivations, fears, and internal dynamics.
The Enneagram is an emotionally focused system of understanding people — honing in on one’s core emotional motivations and fears. Each of the nine personality types has its own driving force, which is centered around a particular emotion.
How do we use the Enneagram in the Workplace? We have a process we’ve developed that allows us to work with individuals to shorten the coaching cycle, create a strengths list and quickly identify where we might need to do some stretching. We use it so we can get to know you better and build an action plan that’s specifically for you.
This is the first report that actually fits me. Could you give this to my parents so they actually understand me?
Whoa – that describes me so well. I feel like I finally understand myself better.
Creating my resume is so much easier now. I have a better understanding of my strengths and have a great list to choose from.
Now I can see why I might have struggled in my job. I didn’t realize I reacted that way.
