Brief introduction to the curriculum series of The Business Practitioner of Enneagram
The curriculum series of The Business Practitioner of Enneagram is classified into three stages. The courses cover modules ranging from the basic perception of enneagram theories, the comprehensive study of the core enneagram theories (including an in-depth explanation about the theories, such as Arrow, Center, Sub-Type, and so on) and the various psychological knowledge that are auxiliary to each other (including the learning of psychological knowledge and skill, such as the NLP, Clinical Psychology, Body Language and so on) to the combination with modern business models, and the use as well as the development of the tools. The three-stage series, integrating comprehensive and systematic learning, will certainly help the students with personal growth.
The academic training in the three stages of the curriculum series of The Business Practitioner of Enneagram is no less than 82 hours in total (the academic training here include neither the time for assignments, nor the time for tutoring students and following up the submission of their reports). Each stage has a corresponding class practice and after-class report. Only after the students complete the classroom learning as well as the after-class exercises required by the mentors of each stage, can they be allowed to enter the next stage. Students cannot graduate until the three stages are all completed.
As the directing supervisor of the curriculum series of The Business Practitioner of Enneagram, Dr. Wang Tinghong (Ph.D. Psychology) gave up the management position in Fortune 500 in 2000, so as to whole-heatedly study and disseminate the enneagram. He has followed the mentors such as Kathy Hurley & Theodorre Donson, Helen Palmer, David Daniels, GingerLapid-Bogda, etc. to study the curriculum series of enneagram. During that period of time, he has also dabbled in the courses of NLP, MBTI, and PhD of psychology and philosophy. Successfully, he has acquired the qualifications in related disciplines. Dr. Wang Tinghong has published four professional books of psychology, which were the top sellers among books of the same kind and became the specified teaching materials of the enneagram in many world famous companies and universities.
