Your Team & The Enneagram

Understanding what motivates your team is ESSENTIAL in executing your goals.
We can help.

Not just another personality test…

The Enneagram is an indicator that helps us understand the motivation behind behavior: both our own and our team’s.

Once we understand how we uniquely & intuitively experience the world, we can begin to adjust what we do through how we see.

What is The Enneagram?

The Enneagram is a personality system that identifies nine distinct ways of thinking and being in the world. Each type represents a specific pattern of how people interpret their surroundings, manage emotions, and approach relationships. The nine types are interconnected, with each having its own strengths, challenges, and motivations.

The system goes beyond personality traits to explore the deeper drives, fears, and desires that shape behavior. It can be used for personal growth, self-awareness, and improving interpersonal relationships. The Enneagram also emphasizes how each type reacts under stress and security, showing the dynamics of how people change in different circumstances.

The Enneagram is used in coaching, and leadership development to help individuals and teams understand themselves and others better, leading to more meaningful growth and communication.

How The Enneagram can transform your team:

The Enneagram is more than just a personality system—it’s a powerful tool for creating self-awareness and improving team dynamics. By understanding the nine distinct personality types, your team will gain insight into their own motivations and behaviors, as well as those of their colleagues. This leads to greater empathy, communication, and collaboration in the workplace.

As a team, the Enneagram can help you:

  • Enhance Communication: By understanding how different personality types process information and express themselves, teams can communicate more effectively.

  • Resolve Conflict: The Enneagram highlights the underlying motivations behind behavior, allowing team members to address the root causes of misunderstandings and conflicts.

  • Boost Productivity: When everyone understands their strengths and challenges, it’s easier to assign roles and responsibilities that align with each person’s natural abilities.

  • Foster Leadership: Leaders can use the Enneagram to better understand their team, tailor their leadership style, and create an environment where everyone feels supported.
