What is the 'Enneagram?'
The
Enneagram is a map of the human psyche - an extraordinarily
insightful tool for understanding
ourselves and others.
The Enneagram offers unique wisdom for personal development and
bringing out the best in people at work (see Workplaces and Workplace Benefits below).
The Enneagram reveals that we each have a personality style that
influences our attitudes and behaviours. Our personality is only part
of who we really are. Beneath personality lies our essential qualities.
The Enneagram can help us access and use them. We
become
better and more compassionate people. Programs are available for groups and workplaces.
We
each have gifts and talents to share.
We also have ‘blind spots’ – aspects that others see
but we don’t. Unless we acknowledge these, efforts to improve
will have only partial success.
Self-awareness
leads to self-knowledge,
self-development and self-mastery. We become in charge of our
motivations and behaviours, rather than being unconsciously led by
them. This is essential for personal develoment and
relationship
improvement.
Discovering
‘who you really
are’ with the Enneagram will amaze you. You are more than your
personality - much more. The Enneagram has great insight and profound
wisdom. Experiencing the Enneagram is a life-changing experience – for
the better.
Workplaces
Enneagram programs
greatly benefit workplaces. Leaders:
discover how
to bring out the best in your teams. Teams: Learn to understand each
other and work better together.
Where management has
access
to staff’s communication, learning, working and leading styles, they
can
better help individuals reach their full potential. They
are more able to place them in positions where they are happiest and of
the most value.
Each
person has gifts and talents to develop and share.
Each also has areas of weakness that, once identified, can be
strengthened. A behaviour model that does this
effectively helps workplaces to be more efficient and successful.
Personal excellence
contributes to improved
workplace outcomes – education, service, productivity, or
profit. Enneagram programs are available for workplaces and
groups of private individuals. See Managing Behaviour Successfully and Discovering Myself
