LEVERAGING THE ENNEAGRAM

WHAT IS THE ENNEAGRAM?

The basics: the Enneagram is a tool we can use to name our patterns and help us notice what we are thinking, feeling, and sensing. Identifying our primary pattern - our Enneagram Type - the habits we’ve developed to move around safely in the world. As we become more aware of our patterns and habits, often unconsciously conditioned, we are able to make empowering choices about how we want to live and work.

The Enneagram is a powerful tool for both spiritual and psychological development that gives us language and a model to actually live emotional intelligence, not just learn about it. - Erin B.
