The Enneagram is an ancient personality system, based on internal motivation, that can provide you and your co-workers with insight into how you think, act, work, communicate, and handle conflict. Leadership Consultant Benjamin Papa will lead participants in a workshop designed to help participants understand the Enneagram system and identify their number/type within the system. This workshop is great for nonprofit staff who have not identified their Enneagram number and are interested in exploring this personality system to use at work and at home.

Attendees will:

1. Learn about the three Intelligence Centers that drive the Enneagram system, how they work, and how to access each of them.

2. Learn the core motivations, unique gifts/strengths, and particular struggles of each Enneagram type.

3. Identify their own Enneagram type and learn how to apply the insights of the Enneagram into their professional and personal lives.
