The Science

What is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram is a framework that gives you in-depth insight into individuals, teams and organisations.

This methodology consists of three centres of intelligence, nine main Enneagram types, 18 wings, three subtypes and Triadic styles.

While that sounds like a lot, the goal is to offer you a rich map of personal development, without placing individuals into boxes. Instead, the Enneagram opens up pathways to self-discovery and better personal awareness.

Working with the Enneagram analyses an individual’s patterns of behaviours and empowers people to take responsibility for their own behaviour and growth through better understanding of why they act and react the way they do.

Why Do I Use The Enneagram?

I believe that the Enneagram to be one of the most powerful tools available for development and coaching. It fast-tracks insight into the individual, highlighting areas of growth. Not only that, but it provides an individual, team, or organisation with a rich roadmap to development and growth.
