About Course

What is Enneagram? 

The Enneagram is a powerful framework for self-awareness and professional growth. It

offers deep insights into personality, behavior, and underlying motivations, helping

individuals and managers understand the values and drivers that shape their actions.

In organizational settings, the Enneagram is invaluable for identifying the root causes

of stress, miscommunication, and conflict, both within teams and at the individual

level. By illuminating core identity patterns and fostering emotional intelligence, the

Enneagram empowers professionals to enhance collaboration, improve

communication, and create a more cohesive and effective workplace environment.

Dismantling Performance Barriers: A Shadow Work Approach

Enneagram Shadow Work is an advanced course designed to uncover and transform

the unconscious patterns that silently shape behavior, leadership style, and

interpersonal dynamics. By integrating the concept of the psychological inner child,

the Jungian shadow, and the shadow expressions of the nine Enneagram types, this

course invites participants to engage in deep personal inquiry. It explores how

unresolved childhood strategies and suppressed traits impact adult performance,

decision-making, and relationships at work. Through guided self-reflection and type-

specific insights, leaders and professionals gain the tools to embrace their hidden

potential, dismantle limiting patterns, and lead with greater authenticity, empathy, and

resilience.

Topics covered include: the psychological inner child, inner child pains and wounds,

the inner child of the 9 types, the concept of the shadow, and the general shadows of

the 9 types.
