The Enneagram is an essential tool for any leader or organization.

Working with the Enneagram brings to the surface our deep habits & patterns that shape our world and challenges us to see beyond our version of “the way things are.”

This wisdom equips individuals and teams to:

RECOGNIZE STRENGTHS WITH CLARITY

ARTICULATE LIMITATIONS WITH HUMILITY

SEE COLLEAGUES WITH GENEROSITY

By helping us see how impactful our own perspective, drives, and defense tools are in daily interactions, all people (from C-Suite executives to middle managers and individual contributors) are better equipped to respond wisely instead of react abruptly (and often harmfully) to the challenges that they encounter.

Beyond the individual impact, team applications illuminate the group dynamics at play so you can recognize and make sense of the communal habits and patterns of your team, enabling you to avoid the ruts, emphasize strengths, and mitigate weaknesses.

My approach

1. assessment

Discovering Enneagram type is the natural starting point. Whether engaging an individual for coaching, key leaders, or full teams, all of my work with organizations starts with Enneagram assessment, either through 1:1 Interviews or using a scientifically validated online assessment.

2. Training

Once you find your Type you still need to understand what the Enneagram is and what it is not. Training(s) curated for your specific goals highlight the most suitable aspects of the Enneagram getting you in position to use the insights opened to you by knowing your Type.

3. coaching & Analysis

Individual Coaching

Targeted at key challenges, strengths and strategies for any Enneagram Type. Coaching supports Executives, Managers, & Team Members to integrate the Training insights and turn them into active practices that support goals. Specific coaching around supervision and managing helps to avoid relational pitfalls and promotes individualized support between Types. Coaching can also connect with personal development goals as they interface with professional contexts.

Team Analysis

Bringing clarity around ongoing group dynamics. Habits of engagement, conflict, process, and execution are brought to the surface. Teams receive direct and specific guidance on the unique possibilities and challenges of their specific combination of Types. Key learnings such as how to interact with one another in the most productive ways, how to notice and loosen your own entrenched perspectives, and what specific behaviors are most supportive and detrimental to team members are brought to the surface.

All of my work is done through an intersectional lens that names and honors identity level diversity and the different experiences and relationships with power and safety that are present.

What Clients are saying…

  • Adam has helped increase my awareness of habits I didn't see before. Most notably, his coaching has helped me become more aware of my body's hints of wisdom that overtime help me make important life choices.

    -Julie

  • More than ever, I see the beauty/magic in our differences. I also see the potential for conflict, but I understand the root of some conflicts better now, which increases my compassion for other points of view and behaviors. This gives more space to others. And perhaps, if I can extend more grace to others, then I can extend it to myself as well.

    - Erica

  • The most important thing I got from this group is that I can be whole apart from what I do or others think of me.

    -Malia

  • Adam used his exceptional teaching and facilitating skills to walk our management team through relational dynamics, communication and feedback practices using the enneagram. I highly recommend!

    -Jon

  • I was surprised by the power of the group dynamic of holding space for another's opening to new understanding of themselves.

    - Nancy

  • I enjoyed getting to hear the stories of others around their type. Hearing individuals speak from their own personal experience was impactful.

    -Seminar Participant

  • I'm hanging on this phrase you said: "metabolizing anger." It's a very accurate description and will likely change how I see and react to my feelings of anger

    -Erica

  • I feel empowered to notice when I'm starting to get locked in to my learned coping strategies, and instead to pause and see if I want to choose something different. Truly feels like "Enneagram for Freedom”!

    - Melissa

  • I’m surprised at how helpful it was to hear other people's experiences and view points.

    - Group participant

  • My big takeaway is clarifying that my personality is not me. I have the option to act on my personality - I must vs I may!

    -Seminar Participant

  • I have better awareness of when my body is letting me know: I feel safe, content, rested, or I feel protective, anxious, or defensive. These small inputs and being able to notice them better has led to BIG life choices. I am grateful for the progress and space he creates for this growth."

    -Julie

  • I am this way, but I don't *have* to be. I can be a more full human by seeing my tendencies and *gently* acknowledging that there is another way.
