“Not only did the Enneagram help me understand myself as a leader (strengths and weaknesses), but it also gave me deeper insight into the personalities of my staff – and the manner in which their gifts could be best put to use in our setting. After years of being frustrated at not being able to “change” someone’s personality, which was often the source of conflict at work and never seemed to change regardless of how many conversations we had or how many yearly performance reviews we did, I realized that it was more effective to simply be aware of their personality so that I could appreciate it and move them to action. The Enneagram as a tool for the Universal Growth Process really changed my thinking. Plus, it was a great team-building opportunity and gave us a shared language for both our leaders and our clients.” – Amy
