The Enneagram is a powerful tool for understanding how we perceive, interpret, and engage with the world around us. Rooted in ancient wisdom refined over centuries, it offers insight into the core motivations that shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
According to the Enneagram, there are nine core motivations, each corresponding to a distinct Enneagram style. These motivations often operate beneath our conscious awareness, yet they profoundly influence how we relate to ourselves, others, and our work. By bringing these patterns into clearer focus, the Enneagram opens the door to deep personal, relational, and professional growth.
The Enneagram is not a test or a personality profiling system. Rather than placing us in a box, it helps us recognize the box we are most likely to place ourselves in. In doing so, it does not offer a fixed label, but a dynamic pathway for growth—inviting us to develop greater balance, self-understanding, and freedom within our type.
Enneagram work can come in the form of individual, small group, or corporate engagement.

Enneagram Consulting for Individuals, Couples, and Groups.
Transformation is a process of returning to our true selves. Understanding your unique wiring allows you to connect with God, yourself, and others from a place of true identity. The Enneagram is a powerful tool for helping you do this.
Enneagram consulting can equip you on your journey towards greater connectedness with God, yourself and others. You will begin to understand your gifts and strengths along with what drives the patterns, habits and behaviors you use to interact with the world. Moreover, as you gain understanding of the other eight numbers, you get a peek into the way those around you see the world. This understanding improves your relationships.
The Enneagram is a tool of compassion. Compassion for yourself and compassion for others.
PERSONAL SESSIONS
Prior to our first session I will review your intake form and correspond via email to plan for our time together. The Enneagram journey is not “one size fits all”. Whether you are brand new to the Enneagram and are wondering what your type is or have already begun the journey and are wondering what’s next, we can tailor our time in the way that best benefits you. Sessions are about 60 miniutes.
Some things we may cover:
• Discerning your number - Through a combination of discussion, interview, teaching and assessment, we can help you discover which Enneagram type most resonates with you.
• Wings
• Security and stress points
• Stances
• Time orientation
• Your Enneagram triad’s relationship with shame, fear or anger
• Wounding messages from childhood
• Subtypes
• Balancing your Centers of Intelligence - Helping you manage your dominant and repressed
centers of thinking, feeling and doing
• Understanding and interacting with other numbers
• Spiritual practices unique to your number
COUPLES’ SESSIONS
Gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your partner through personalized Enneagram coaching. In addition to the topics available to you in an individual session, we can look at the ways your Enneagram numbers enhance and challenge your relationship. Learn the lens through which your partner sees the world so that you can best love and support one another.
GROUP AND ORGANIZATIONAL SESSIONS
Awareness of how your number and the numbers of people in your family, on your team or in your organization see, react and experience the world is critical for the health and success of your group. Contrary to other group development systems, the Enneagram offers insight into the underlying motivation behind the outward behavioral and relational patterns.
Understanding the “why” of the individuals helps form alignment with the “corporate why” of your organization.
In addition to the topics available to individuals, group sessions may include:
• More detailed explanation of the Enneagram types represented in the group.
• How the core motivation of each type represented can be leveraged so the “individual why” supports the “corporate why”.
• Leadership notes for each Enneagram type including strengths, growth opportunities, potential points of misunderstanding, and talk style.
• Possible correlation between (and strategies to overcome) current organizational pain points and the Enneagram type make-up of your team.
• Strategies for compassion for each Enneagram type represented (for example, what your 9 colleague wants you to know).
WORKSHOPS
Gather your group and explore the Enneagram together. Topics include, but are not limited to:
• Intro to the Enneagram - An overview of the system, best practices. An introduction to the nine styles. An introduction to the topics of Stress & Security, Wings, Centers of Intelligence, Stances, and Spiritual Disciplines.

A QUICK NOTE ABOUT ASSESSMENTS:
“Couldn’t I learn my number by taking a test online?”
No. Not with any degree of accuracy.
The Enneagram is thousands of years old, and there is no singular source that “owns” the Enneagram. While most Enneagram teachers agree on the fundamentals, differences in teaching exist. The Enneagram has experienced a resurgence in the last several years. This is beneficial as more people now have access to this helpful tool. There is, however, a downside of this popularity and lack of centralized ownership. Many sources have jumped on this ancient bandwagon and developed Enneagram “tests” and “quizzes” which attempt to oversimplify a very complex system. This does a huge disservice to consumers who are frequently mistyped, or if accurately typed are led to over identify with surface characteristics of their number.
Even the best, statistically valid and reliable, peer reviewed, assessments are only accurate about 80% of the time. Your Enneagram number is based on inner motivations, not behaviors. Most assessments test for behavior.
Learning the Enneagram and discerning your number is a journey. Personal transformation comes with deep understanding over time. There are many Enneagram tests out there. A handful are helpful data points in learning your number when combined with self-observation, reading, discussion, consulting, and inner work.
