Enneagram

A map for understanding human motivations and behaviour… not just another personality test.

For individuals, couples and team development.

What is the enneagram?

The Enneagram speaks to the age-old question of, “Who am I really? What motivates me, and how is that different to other people? How can I feel more fulfilled? Why does change seem so hard? The enneagram illuminates both the challenges and the joys that we experience in human relationships, and gently reminds us that we can be more than we are today.

The framework of the Enneagram offers insights into the heart of human nature, supporting anyone who wants to grow their self-awareness, and reach their full potential. In a nutshell it’s a comprehensive and sophisticated self-discovery tool. It’s been proven to add tremendous value in coaching, team building and organisational development. 

Self-awareness & personal effectiveness

All around the world people are turning to the Enneagram to support them in personal growth and enriching their relationships, family lives, careers, leadership effectiveness, faith journeys, and more. The Enneagram is powerful because it helps make the connection between who we are and why we do what we do, creating a tangible link between growing our self-awareness and increasing our ability to achieve our goals. By introducing us to the many complex layers of our self, the Enneagram reveals our greatest gifts and offers us insights into how we may be getting in our own way.

How can the enneagram help?

The Enneagram reveals the core beliefs and motivations that shape our attention and the choices we are able to make. It helps us identify our fears, our triggers, our defence mechanisms, our patterns, our idealised self-image, our conflict styles, our blind spots, our vulnerabilities and vices – and invites us into a world of other possibilities and broader options.

A higher self-awareness and emotional intelligence leads to improved happiness, enhanced job performance, increased problem-solving abilities, relationship satisfaction, and overall increased effectiveness, as well as lower anxiety, stress and depression.

“Rather than putting us into a box, the Enneagram shows us how small or limited we have made our own box – and invites us to be our free, authentic self.”
