Building high-performing teams
The success of a team as a whole is predicated on the collective acumen & Emotional Intelligence of its members. Where there is better understanding, the effectiveness of the team dramatically increases. Using theory-based content and exercises, groups become more effective with a comprehensive understanding of their strengths and challenges. People are better equipped to perform individually and on teams.
The Enneagram coaching for teams offers:
Greater consideration and understanding of self & others
Common language for communicating point of view
Interactions become more collaborative and helpful
Lasting changes are possible
The Enneagram helped our team with self-awareness that was necessary for a paradigm shift. We moved out of our current set of assumptions about each other and clients, into a new way of seeing ourselves and even in our communication with others. You will hear my team often referring to their Enneagram number and taking time to explain themselves and the ‘why’ behind their motivations. Our entire team would say this study helped them with their personal relationships as well. Working with Jen has empowered our team to make better choices when working with each other, using more compassion and understanding. We are ready for Ennegram 2.0 and beyond!

Workshops & Training
Enneagram workshops are customizable to the team’s objectives. Using the Enneagram as a business tool encourages organizations to engage with colleagues and clients more effectively.
Organizations engage with the Enneagram to encourage even better ways to work within the team or with clients. Topics often begin with the basics of the Enneagram and then build to promote mindfulness, team building, healthy ways to communicate and manage conflict. Workshops can be done in-person or via Zoom.
Speaking Engagements
Jen regularly travels nationally as a keynote speaker on a variety of topics. Topics are customizable.

Coaching
Coaching provides personalized and tailored guidance. This can be done alone or in addition to team workshops. When a team is implementing the Enneagram model, it’s helpful to support the change with customized solutions for each individual. Using specific aspects of the Enneagram, we will discuss content to spark dialogue and accelerate lasting growth.
Our company brought Jen in as a way to better understand each other and encourage teamwork. We also felt it would be a useful tool for employees to help them with relationships outside of work. I manage about 10 people and since we all work virtually, we wanted to offer a development opportunity the team could still do together, find useful, and enjoy. The group workshops were engaging, fun, and informative. Additionally, Jen held one on one coaching sessions with each member of the team giving them an opportunity to ask questions and discuss personal insight they found from the training. Probably the most impactful has been the deeper understanding we now have about each other including our different viewpoints and motives. We have a common language since learning the Enneagram. Interactions that were once tense or frustrating have become more collaborative and helpful.
