the enneagram for freedom

The inner journey on the road to liberation

HEY, I’M ADAM.

I am a justice focused Inner Work Guide, Enneagram teacher, Organizational Consultant, Executive Coach and Inclusion, Equity, Diversity, Access (IDEA) Practitioner. In any given week I might find myself coaching an individual client to notice and soften their habitual patterns, consulting with an executive leader on how to navigate organizational change, guiding a team through an exercise to name and leverage their diversity, or facilitating an Enneagram working group. I love that I get to apply my unique blend of Enneagram expertise and IDEA insights in such diverse contexts Read more…

  • 1:1 Coaching

    We are creatures of habit. Whether we pay attention to them or not our habitual ways provide comfort, efficiency and familiarity but they also constrict. 1-1 coaching is focused time to help you notice, name and find freedom from the habits that are running your life.

  • Working Groups

    There is a strong emphasis on the working in these gatherings. Rather than just share information, I facilitate real engagement with what we find about ourselves. There is something uniquely powerful about witnessing and being witnessed as one comes to see themselves more clearly in a space marked by compassion and courage.

  • Justice + Enneagram

    I am convinced that Inner work is a critical component of justice work. Working with our habitual ways of being is necessary if we are to meaningfully untangle from a culture of supremacy and work towards a society where all people can flourish.

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.
