Course Overview

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.

General FAQ

Are there any prerequisites to join?

Most courses are open-entry and require no prior training. For advanced or technical programs, we may recommend specific background knowledge or work experience, which will be stated in the course outline.

Yes. Upon successful completion, participants receive a Turning Point Training Institute Certificate of Completion, issued and attested by the KHDA (Knowledge and Human Development Authority) upon request. For customized on-the-job programs, participants may also earn CPD-accredited points, recognized by professional bodies internationally, also upon request.

Our courses are built for real-world impact through an On-the-Job Training (OJT) delivery model. We focus on field-relevant skills, actual workplace scenarios, and job-specific outcomes—ensuring participants apply what they learn directly within their day-to-day roles. Training is not limited to the classroom; it’s embedded into real tasks, real tools, and real-time operations to maximize relevance and retention.

In select cases, participants may be able to use their training experience as part of a Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) process to earn academic credit at a university. Turning Point acts as a facilitator—we help you document your learning, align it with academic standards, and prepare submissions. However, we do not guarantee credit transfer. Final decisions rest entirely with the admitting university, based on its internal criteria, policies, and case-by-case evaluation.
