[NO RECORDING]
Nowhere is the evolution of the Enneagram more evident than in its application to leadership development within organizational and business settings. Consultants and coaches who understand and appreciate the value of the Enneagram in business are on the cutting edge of new territory. But, it’s lonely out there and those of us doing the work would benefit from communing and collaborating with others attempting similar endeavors. Experience, trial and error, not to mention a little risk-taking are great teachers and resources. This thoughtfully facilitated, fluid,”open-space”format will offer experienced corporate coaches and consultants an opportunity to share, learn, vent, explore, debate and deepen their insight into ways in which the Enneagram can be used to transform workplaces and improve leader effectiveness.
The program will explore challenges, obstacles, successes and best practices on possible topics such as:
How coaches are using the Enneagram in their work with leaders
Methods that have assisted leaders in improving and overcoming their performance derailers
Ideas for using the Enneagram in team development
Approaches to working with the Instincts and Type in leadership coaching and consulting
Resistance to utilizing the Enneagram in organizations – HR, CEO or some other level? How did you get your foot in the door? How do you continue to cast a wider net for potential client work within a system?
Does the spiritual dimension of the Enneagram belong in leadership coaching? When is/isn’t it appropriate?
Do organizations reflect an “Enneagram type”? Do they have “Instincts”? What’s your experience?
How does the Enneagram integrate with other organizational initiatives such as diversity, high potential, talent identification and performance management?
How do you measure an engagement’s success?
