What if I told you anyone could get the best dynamics and products out of their teams with by discovering the secrets within yourself? What if you knew the vices prone to trigger your ugly side? Or the great parts of your personality that could help your career or your team?

Each of us can do this: We all fall into a particular number on the Enneagram and no number is better than the other. During this session, we will take the Enneagram assessment and break down the results in detail not just for your personal benefit, but for how you interact with others. We walk through each number, the motives, triggers, vices and virtues, and how each number impacts each other.

When people discover these items as a team, and bring the vulnerability to the forefront, something beautiful happens with their team dynamics and a new realm of possibility unlocks. This is only possible when we understand our numbers, and accept each other's.

In this session, I will explain how I used the enneagram to build my professional career, help teams in trouble build better tomorrows. I also dig into the incredible science behind the Enneagram.

Attendees will get a thorough understanding of the Enneagram, an in depth look at each number, create a "go-forward plan" for themselves and learn how to bring this back for themselves to optimize their team's performance in their own organizations.

The information we explore in this session will inevitably lead to MUCH discussion with the attendees. Because I normally do this as a 3 or 5 hour workshop, It would be very easy to break this down into 2 sessions: first session as an individual session then a part two specifically focused to Leaders to HOW they can apply this in becoming better leaders, how to guide and serve their people and focus on their specific needs to create detailed plans of action. I've given this several times and each time, feedback is EXTREMELY positive, always asking for more information.

I will have a presentation, in PowerPoint. And a handout available virtually.
