2009 IEA Global Conference Presentation

No Recording

Presenter: Michael Goldberg

The Enneagram comes alive when it is between two people. None of the types exist by themselves.

At its core, the Enneagram is a tool to focus and frame contrasting positions, so it is a natural approach for mediators, therapists and consultants immersed in the resolution of conflict.

In this session, we’ll explore how the Enneagram’s built-in polarities and premises can ease fixed positions, and how mediators can work with type to create a context for conflict resolution

He is an attorney and has taught at graduate schools of management, psychology and law. His Enneagram clients include the CIA, Motorola, Honeywell, Wells Fargo, Philips Electronics (France), and TH Technology (China).
