Enneagram Coaching is becoming an increasingly popular Personality assessment tool, discovering the reasons behind our behaviours.
Issues of identity are of particular concern to a Generation that finds itself living in a confusing, complex milieu..
Whether it is your Emotional Intelligence (EI), Digital Intelligence (DI) or any of the "multiple intelligences" skills you would like to develop, I find one's Personality Type a reliable platform for development.
THE ENNEAGRAM IN A COACHING CONTEXT
There is no mystique around the use of the Enneagram in the Life Coaching context. I, like many other Coaches and Psychologists use the Enneagram as a useful tool to rapidly identify underlying and sometimes not so obvious personality traits. As a Coach focused on achieving rapid results in a structured and lasting framework the Enneagram ensures I have a solid basis with which my Clients can explore and maintain a working knowledge of their Personality Type.
FREEING YOURSELF FROM YOUR (Self-imposed) BOX
Importantly, the Enneagram provides us with a useful model of our Personality Type and does not place us in a box. To the contrary, the Enneagram is intended a tool for change, providing us with a framework to shift and change aspects that may be holding us back. The Enneagram gives us the keys to free ourselves from our boxes.
WHAT IS THE ENNEAGRAM?
- The Enneagram is all about getting to know yourself better.
- In essence, it is a powerful tool for understanding ourselves and the reasons behind our behavior.
- It unlocks secrets behind our behavioural patterns.
- It is a map for growth.
- It provides you with practical tools to clarify the personal reasons for why you do things the way you do.
- Considered a general model of the human psyche, enabling the study of human behavior, the Enneagram has been likened to the system of Jung's Archetypes.
- The Enneagram helps us to unlock the secrets behind our behavioral patterns to manage our blindspots, free us from self-sabotaging patterns and behaviors that no longer serve us. Working with the Enneagram is about identifying where you are positioned in the range of the 9 identified Personality Types.
- Once your "Type" has been identified work can begin to shift toward your desired outcome.

BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH THE TOOLS OF THE ENNEAGRAM
Participating in your Enneagram Coaching is a sometimes fun, always interesting, empowering journey. It is not about putting ourselves in a box but rather about discovering which box we have put ourselves into and how to free ourselves from it, if need be.
When we really understand ourselves, we are open to understanding each other, including our loved-ones. We can all function and work together, with greater understanding. This includes our working environment.
The greatest gift of Enneagram Coaching is not simply about discovering your Personality Type but about offering a map for growth to live your highest potential/expression of your Personality Type.
Please keep in mind that your Personality Type is within you. You are not in your personality. Your personality is but one aspect of the self. It is not your identity but having knowledge of your Personality Type offers you the understanding for the reasons behind your behavior.
If this process is something that interests you I would love to assist in this personal unfolding process.

I consider sharing this knowledge in a Coaching session with you, a privilege.

Please keep in mind that the Enneagram is the study of Personality Types and is in no way related to any belief, religious- or political system
If every individual on earth could be empowered by this knowledge of ourselves, what a wonderful, equal,free and happy world we could live in.
