The Enneagram is a system that defines nine “personality types.” With knowledge of this framework, it’s possible to achieve an in-depth understanding of one’s character structure, including core motivations and repeated patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. When asked to describe their leadership style, many leaders feel perplexed. However, once we understand our Enneagram type, our leadership style becomes surprisingly clear. This clarity can lead to profound awareness of our strengths and the possibility of transformative growth.

At the outset, this course will help you identify your Enneagram type, bring greater awareness to what motivates you as a leader, and provide practical skills to develop essential leadership competencies. Through experiential exercises and group discussion, you will increase your emotional intelligence, develop enhanced interpersonal competency, and learn how to leverage your natural gifts as a leader. Even those who are already familiar with the Enneagram will find this course invaluable in refining their optimal, effective, and authentic leadership style.
