Our Approach to the Enneagram

At InnerWork Coaching, we utilize The Enneagram as a framework to support our clients in doing the inner work. 

What is the Enneagram? 

The Enneagram is a powerful tool for self-reflection and personal development. The Enneagram is most accurately described as a worldview assessment that identifies underlying motivation, and not simply as a personality test. This distinction captures the ability of the Enneagram to identify patterns that evade other assessments. While the concepts of the Enneagram have been utilized for hundreds of years, the modern version has recently increased in popularity for individuals and organizations. The Enneagram can be utilized across a broad spectrum of applications. These applications include workplace functioning and team development.

Why do we utilize the Enneagram?

We believe that in order to develop as a professional, one must make the time to grow as an individual. Long before we ask, "What should we do?" we must ask, "Who are we?"

By applying the Enneagram, we first deepen our understanding of ourselves. In doing so, we build greater self-awareness and also learn to use this framework to better understand others in our circle. This creates a powerful foundation of mutual understanding, which is highly applicable to professional areas such as team connection, communication, and conflict.
