About the Enneagram
The Enneagram’s roots date back to ancient Babylon. It’s a personality framework with nine points on the circumference of a circle. Each number represents a distinct, basic personality type with its own characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, motivations and fears. Each personality type also has a “wing,” which is one of the two points adjacent to the main personality type. Typically, people are a combination of their main type plus a wing. The Enneagram’s framework is comprised of three “centers” (the instinctive center, the feeling center, and the thinking center) with three personality types in each center.
The Enneagram is a helpful tool for clients to use to understand themselves and the people in their lives. It shows a range of healthy to unhealthy behaviors that each personality type might exhibit unconsciously. As participants understand more about their personality type, they are able to develop ways of recognizing stressors and unconscious reactions that might be inhibiting them from using their natural gifts at work. The Enneagram can help participants improve their skills in understanding diverse ways of thinking and feeling about certain situations. It brings a layer of empathy, grace, and compassion as it opens up doors for understanding others with different characteristics.
