The Enneagram

Enneagram types Freud was once asked to define the elements of a fulfilling life; he is said to have answered, ‘to love and to work.’ A couple of generations later, Freud’s hopes for humanity are just as apt. We do indeed devote most of our time and energy to matters of the heart and the mind; and most of our joy and sorrows concern relationships and careers.

The Enneagram describes nine different ways of relating in intimacy and business. Each viewpoint is determined by certain mental and emotional concerns. No type is better than another, and each can be effective, but they interact in radically different ways. Ennea means ‘nine’ in Greek, and gram means ‘model’.
What can the Enneagram do for me in relationships and work?

  • You will be able to understand yourself and others
  • You will recognize that others’ behaviors are not intended to drive you crazy, nor are they ‘out there to get you’, but rather are based on their particular assumptions about the world
  • You will have more compassion for yourself and others
  • You will have powerful insights and communication tools to understand the different points of view held by you and others, and how to resolve your differences
  • You and people you care about will have the opportunity to grow individually and to grow closer as a couple or friends
