What if I told you Leaders can get long lasting performance, team dynamics and products out of your teams with one bit of understanding?

What if I told you, as a leader, you could find a cheat sheet for successfully POSITIVELY engaging your employees?

Every leader of people can do this. This session will help you understand how your Enneagram Number affects you as a leader. As well, how you can understand your team members, how your number interacts with theirs, and how you can solicit the best work from your teams to make great things!

Through the session, we will cover Enneagram briefly as a whole; while it’s not a pre-req to have the back knowledge, it will help if you’ve done it. We will go over the leadership vices and virtues by each number, how you will be able to guide and direct your teams better as leaders and learn the “gotchya’s” for each number to watch out for. If time allows, I'll also go over a brief history and science of the Enneagram as well as how it has made me a better leader of teams and how it's changed the way I approach almost everything.

The information we explore in the Enneagram sessions lead to a very flexible format... as these are soft skills focused. These also tend to attract a lot of people. I will have Bruce Nix to co-facilitate with me... monitoring the chat and taking notes for me should any issue arise or requests for follow up.

This is part 2 of a 2 part pairing. These can be totally independent of each other, however, they're best when paired together. I provide this format as this is what I normally do, typically a 2 or 5-hour workshop, however, I have them split into two for purposes of time. This portion, part 2, I can do in a solid 50 min piece. I will have a presentation and handouts for people to access on a google drive for each person’s number and also the references to my data. It's fascinating information that will enable folks to do follow up where they want more info/knowledge not just for themselves but also working with others effectively.
