Learn how the nine different Enneagram styles interact in the work setting by participating in a work-based simulation, then analyzing how the styles relate to each other at their best and when the dynamic is less productive. The session’s emphasis will be on making ourselves easier to work with, understanding the dynamics that occur between the Enneagram styles, and learning how to both predict and analyze work interactions using the Enneagram symbol as a map. All participants need to know their Enneagram styles in order to attend, and the session will be useful to participants at all levels of Enneagram knowledge. Because the session is designed around a simulation, it is essential that all participants attend the first hour. Latecomers, unfortunately, will not have the common frame of reference needed to participate in the latter part of the session.
