Increased self-awareness can help us improve our effectiveness, communication, and impact.

The Enneagram has been gaining attention as an accurate and profound way to understand our essential selves and the ego defenses we use when faced with problems. The nine Enneagram types are based on three primary centers of intelligence: thinking, emotion, and instinct. The Enneagram has several layers which help us reconnect with ourselves and gain clarity in our relationships.

This workshop will provide an introduction to the Enneagram and the three styles for approaching conflict utilized by each of the nine personality types.
