what is enneagram?

The Enneagram is a dynamic personality assessment that identifies nine distinct personality types, each with its own set of core motivations, fears, and behavioral patterns.  The Enneagram connects the dots between our identities and motivations, establishing a concrete, visible link between our developing self-awareness and our capacity to accomplish our objectives. The Enneagram shows us our greatest strengths as well as areas where we might be getting in our own way.

All personality assessments are tools to gain insight into your strengths and how you operate in the world.  What distinguishes Enneagram is that while other assessments give you a deeper understanding of your behaviors, Enneagram is focused on the motivations behind those behaviors.  Additionally, the Enneagram framework provides developmental pathways to apply these insights. 

I am a Accredited iEQ9 Practitioner through Integrative Enneagram Solutions. Enneagram can be deployed as a tool in individual coaching, in a workshop setting or team coaching structure. See below for specifics about my services.
