The Enneagram is a guide to understanding people—how we are the same, how we are different, what drives us, and how we relate to each other. It is an invaluable tool in the workplace where cooperation and relationship building is essential to success. The Enneagram system describes nine distinct personality types and their interrelationships. Each personality type associated with the Enneagram represents a map of traits that highlights patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. By learning one’s type and the patterns and habits associated with that type, one can use the Enneagram system as an effective tool for self-understanding and self-development.

“The Enneagram has revealed more to me about my unconscious patterns, habitual preoccupations, underlying fears, and misused strengths than any techniques for self-understanding I’ve yet come across.”
Tony Schwartz, Esquire

“The Enneagram categories are based on human psychology, not the stars… It lets practitioners see what makes themselves and others tick in the business world, as well as in personal relationships.” Newsweek
