“Ennea” means nine in Greek, and the word “gram” refers to a diagram or model. Very simply put, it’s a powerful model that allows us to quickly understand what drives our core behaviors and those of our partner or other loved ones. The Enneagram brings to light all that unconsciously impacts our behavior. What makes the Enneagram different from more traditional personality typing tools is that it focuses on the why—what drives the behavior—instead of the outward behavior.
There are nine Enneagram types. Everyone falls into one of nine types on the Enneagram. You can’t be multiple types; one core influences your behavioral choices from childhood through the rest of your life.
Which Enneagram Type Are You?
When you don’t understand what truly drives your behaviors, you tend to sabotage yourself and have unhealthy habits that limit your potential. The Enneagram helps you see the underlying core drive that has been unconsciously impacting all aspects of your life and relationships. When you bring these drives to consciously, you can take steps to shift these unhealthy ones, and adapt more life-affirming behaviors that help you achieve your goals. Instead of feeling that you are a victim to circumstances or overwhelmed by what life is throwing at you, you can learn to use the Enneagram to be truly empowered in your life and go after your dreams instead of sabotaging yourself.
Do you own a small business? One of the biggest challenges for businesses is personnel that do not get along with each other. When members of an organization do not understand each other, arguments or gossiping about others can arise. Productivity can be severely decreased if any of member of your staff feels alienated, misunderstood, or labelled.
Doing an Enneagram training can help your staff understand why each other are different, and what each of them need to be more productive. Specifically, each type is more productive when given the tools that work best for that type. In fact, each type even has a preferred communication style that is helpful to know if you are their manager.
