Unlocking Potential: Discovering Your Style
How to Influence Others
Bring out the best in yourself by discovering your style, how you relate to others, and how blind spots impact your potential. This program also introduces the Enneagram system so you can observe the styles of others in action. Activities include individual assessments, demonstrations, exercises, and group discussions. You will develop skills that are long-term and self-sustaining. This workshop is the prerequisite for other programs that build upon it.
Leadership Circle
The Leadership Circle is a membership only group of business leaders and executives. Inquire direct for more information.
Communicating Effectively
Improve your communication skills with everyone. In this program, participants learn to assess their communication styles in a different way, identifying how the nine Enneagram styles unintentionally distort what they say and simultaneously filter what they hear. From this new perspective, participants practice communicating more clearly and listening more fully. Using the sender-receiver communication model, this program helps participants understand their Enneagram style-based distortions both in sending messages to others - i.e., speaking style, body language, and blind spots - and in hearing what others are communicating to them. Activities include self-assessment, mini-lectures, observations, small group exercises, large group discussions and interaction, and skill development. (Half-day, one-day, and two-day programs are available.)
Giving Constructive Feedback
In this skill-based program, participants learn how to give effective feedback to others. Building on the foundation of the Feedback Formula, the Enneagram is used to help fine-tune the feedback process by helping participants learn to do the following: (1) avoid typical Enneagram style-based errors when giving feedback to other people, and (2) tailor the feedback to the Enneagram style of the feedback recipient. Activities include lecture, case studies, observation, small group exercises, small and large group discussions, demonstrations, and skill practice. (Half-day, one-day, and two-day or longer programs are available.)
Managing Conflict
Prevent, de-escalate, and resolve conflict in almost any situation. Integrating the Pinch-Crunch Conflict Model with the insights of the Enneagram, this program teaches participants how to do the following: (1) prevent many conflict situations from arising; (2) de-escalate conflict once it occurs; and (3) use conflict as a basis for mutual understanding and self-insight. Participants will identify the anger triggers ("pinches") of the nine Enneagram styles, learn to use their own pinches as opportunities for personal development, and practice techniques for approaching individuals of each Enneagram style in conflict ("crunch") situations. Activities include individual assessment, dual and small group discussions, brief lectures, large group discussions and interaction, demonstration, and skill practice. (Half-day, one-day, and two-day or longer programs are available.)
Creating High-Performing Teams
Become an excellent team leader and team member. This program teaches both team leaders and team members how to create high-performing teams. Integrating the Enneagram with models from organization development, the program focuses on four areas: (1) establishing common team goals, (2) identifying the ideal interdependence between and among team members, (3) expanding the repertoire of roles that individuals of each Enneagram style play on teams, and (4) dramatically altering the Enneagram-based behaviors people exhibit at the four stages of a team's life cycle (Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing). Activities include lectures, individual assessment, small group activities, individual feedback, large and small group discussions, and simulations. (Half-day, one-day, and two-day or longer programs are available.)
Leveraging Your Leadership
Bring out your leadership strengths and deal constructively with your derailers/blind spots. Because a person's leadership style so closely reflects his or her Enneagram style, this program focuses on the multiple aspects of that connection: (1) how the leadership paradigm of each Enneagram style determines and limits a leader's behavior; (2) the gifts and strengths of each Enneagram style, and how, the leader's greatest strengths often becomes his or her greatest weaknesses; and (3) the leadership derailers that are common to each Enneagram style, including how to prevent these derailers from impeding the leader's effectiveness. Activities include self-assessment, lectures, simulations, individual feedback, small group exercises, and small and large group discussions. (Programs vary in duration. 360 feedback can be used.)
Meaningful Coaching
Designed for everyone serving in a capacity to coach or mentor, this program highlights the 5 stages of an effective coaching relationship, techniques for working with clients of each style, and using the Enneagram to identify the client’s core issues. Activities include self-assessments, brief lectures, small group exercises, large group discussions and interaction, and multiple opportunities for skill practice. (Half-day, one-day, and two-day or longer programs are available.)
Transforming Yourself
Activities for your immediate and long-term development needs. This program is dedicated to the personal and professional development activities best suited to individuals of each Enneagram style. In addition to these style-specific exercises, participants also learn how to use other aspects of the Enneagram system for their growth, including changing their mental patterns and emotional habits and using wing styles, stress-security points, and Enneagram subtypes. Activities are primarily experiential — individual work, small group exercises and discussion, and large group exercises — interspersed with discussion about why certain activities are effective for each Enneagram style (Half-day, one-day, and two-day or longer programs are available.)
