What if I told you anyone could get the best dynamics and products out of their teams with this? 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. I will explain each number of the Enneagram and how to understand what it is telling you about yourself, your motives, your triggers, Vices and Virtues, how you impact others and HOW TO USE THEM YOUR ADVANTAGE.

In this session, I will explain how I have used this info to build my professional career, help product teams, and even change the way I have pivoted my life since! If time allows, I will also dig into the incredible science behind the Enneagram. After, you should feel confident to elicit more from your teams and drive team goals. You will get a thorough handout with information to begin immediately applying what we have learned along with references to my research for your personal follow up. No matter what role you’re in on a team there is always room to grow!

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.
