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.

The Critic & The Coach: Transforming Inner Dialogue for Peak Performance

The Inner Critic is an extremely powerful course that explores the pervasive internal

voices of self-judgment and inner pressure that affects performance, confidence, and

well-being. Beginning with a universal understanding of the psychological inner critic,

its origins, patterns, and psychological impact, the course then delves into how this

inner voice manifests uniquely across the nine Enneagram types. Participants will

learn to identify their own inner critic patterns, understand how these patterns

influence behavior at work, and develop practical tools for transforming self-criticism

into self-awareness and growth. This course empowers leaders and teams to foster 

healthier inner dialogue, reduce burnout, and cultivate a more compassionate and

productive workplace culture.

Topics covered include: Understanding the Inner Critic (IC), knowing and observing

the IC, Managing the IC, types of IC, and the inner critic of the 9 types.

Recommended number of attendees: 12 to 18

Prerequisite: The Enneagram (ECP or EPP)

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.
