Using research with their own clients, colleagues and students, Kathy and Theodorre present their collected insights on how to deal with people of each type.

This program on re-visioning professional relationships is presented in two parts; each part stands on its own and is complemented by the other. Part 1 covers building trust. How do you build trust with exemplars of each of the personality styles? How can you speak in a language the other person will hear best? How can you most quickly and easily demonstrate you are tracking with the person? This presentation ends with some comments on personality disorders as they relate to Enneagram types. Professionals working one-on-one, especially if they are not trained in psychology, can benefit from these particular insights needed when dealing with personality disorders.
