Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Enneagram is traditionally used as a personality typing tool that describes how people think, feel and act. Each Enneagram Type has its own patterns and behaviours. Our belief is that we are not limited by those patterns of behaviours. We see the Enneagram as an expansive tool for personal and professional development. The 9 Enneagram Types are 9 different ways of leading that all of us have access to.

    We do not claim to be Enneagram coaches or experts. We are everyday practitioners that actively and intentionally use the Enneagram as a tool for understanding ourselves and those around us. And we want to share that with you!

  • 9 to Thrive: Managing the Workplace with the Enneagram is designed as a 9-week process to understand your patterns and habits and how you can leverage on your strengths so that you can step into your leadership as a middle manager.

    Each module comprises an online learning video, a reflection kit and an interactive online Community of Practice session with your cohort mates. To make the most of our time together, you are strongly encouraged to complete and participate in all 3 components of each module.

    The online learning video and the reflection kit can be completed at your own time and pace ahead of the Community of Practice session.

  • We understand that things might pop up from time to time! If you have to miss a Community of Practice session, check in with your cohort mates. To take care of the privacy and safety of everyone, we will not be recording the sessions on Zoom.
