Enneagram Staff Training
Build a shared language across the whole team — diverse perspectives, communication styles, blind spots, and inherent strengths.
For Organizations
An internal diversity system.
In business organizations and nonprofits, the first step to becoming a highly functioning team is increasing self-awareness.
Knowing our impact on others, setting healthy boundaries, realizing how we filter information, and recognizing our reactivity triggers all allow for more effectiveness in the workplace. The Enneagram map offers key insights into what motivates and drives our behavior.
Foundational to how we process information are five things worth knowing about ourselves and our teammates:
- 01
Where attention lands first.
Our ego structure scans for what supports it — creating blind spots that deny us a full view of reality.
- 02
The 'idealized self.'
An unconscious image our ego protects, locking in a stagnant belief in who we take ourselves to be and limiting growth.
- 03
The core reactivity trigger.
Knowing the specific trigger at the base of our reactions opens space for genuine self-regulation.
- 04
An unconscious world view.
The narrow understanding of how the world operates that quietly maintains automatic patterns and blind spots.
- 05
Our inherent strengths.
Natural gifts that come easily for our type — powerful when used in measure, costly when overused.
When used well, the Enneagram allows us to replace judgement with curiosity as we come to understand the perspectives of others and name them as valid.
The Enneagram is a complex Internal Diversity System supporting us in offering respectful listening as we engage with others.
Leadership Team Training
Focused work with the people shaping culture and making decisions under pressure — strengths, sensitivities, and the ego ideals that quietly limit leadership.
From the Field
What teams say.
"Our team here at our climate strategy think tank has loved our consulting and training from Sandra. Over the past eight years, she has helped me, new hires, pairs of coworkers, and our full executive team boost our power to collaborate and deliver. I find myself applying several breakthrough insights from Sandra most every week and hear similar results from others at Climate Interactive. Beyond the clear insights, we have also benefitted from the ways that Sandra has helped us build a pervasive culture of self reflection, personal responsibility, and mutual care. She operates that way and it is infectious."
