Enneagram and Emotional Intelligence for Leaders

Studies suggest people with strong emotional intelligence are up to four times more successful than equally intelligent peers who lack it. This 2-day Staff Training workshop, ideal for leaders and managers across South Africa's diverse, multicultural workforce, uses a pre-workshop Enneagram questionnaire administered by ICF-accredited facilitators to map each delegate's core motivations and fears, then applies this self-awareness to interpersonal competencies like feedback and locus of control. The result: leaders with a deeper, personalised understanding of what drives their own — and others' — behaviour.

What is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram is a globally recognised framework that helps us to understand the nine different lenses through which individuals view the world. This view of the world is driven by both conscious and subconscious motivation and/or fear leading to the behaviour, actions, thinking, emotions and communication styles we choose to exhibit.

The Enneagram diagnostic tool that we use is designed to assist the individual in quickly identifying their preferred lense and subsequently identifying the impact of viewing through that lense, not only on themselves, but also on others and how they relate to others.

Why the Enneagram is such a useful self-mastery tool?

The Enneagram stretches beyond behaviour to motivation and fear, through this knowledge it awakens empathy and understanding of not only ourselves, but of others as well.

It brings to the conscious mind that which often remains in the unconscious, and because of this we are able to transcend the behaviour with negative consequences through making better cognitive choices - and the process is hugely simplified as soon as the Enneagram framework has been understood.

How to use the Enneagram?

The Enneagram can be used in a private and work capacity. It is used in life coaching, leadership coaching and in relationship coaching. The Enneagram for teams is used to strengthen team relationships and to make the team members aware of the untapped talent that is not being recognised. Similarly it makes individuals aware of their own gifts and talents that they are not paying full attention to.

Every workshop we publish is also delivered in-house — at your premises anywhere in South Africa and beyond, at one of our venues, or live online. Before we deliver, our course designers can adapt Enneagram and Emotional Intelligence for Leaders to your team: your industry’s examples in the case work, your real challenges in the exercises, your operational rhythm in the schedule. We meet you, agree the outline together, and only then do you place the order.

In-house rates drop per delegate as the group grows — for larger teams it is usually the more affordable option as well as the better-fitting one.
