Build Happy, Productive Teams with the Enneagram
The Enneagram is a powerful personality assessment that reveals the nine distinct worldviews shaping how your team members perceive, process, and respond to work situations. Understanding what truly motivates each person on your team is the first step toward creating an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and recognized.
This team building assessment helps teams understand not just personality types, but how each person's habitual patterns emerge under stress—and how to shift those patterns toward more productive collaboration. By recognizing the strengths and potential blind spots of all nine Enneagram types, teams develop the emotional intelligence and communication skills needed for genuine connection and high performance.
Our Enneagram workshops go beyond simple personality typing. We guide teams through understanding how their worldview shapes decision-making, conflict resolution, and collaboration—then provide practical strategies for leveraging this awareness to strengthen team dynamics and workplace relationships.
how it works
The Enneagram is one of the most respected personality assessments used by Fortune 500 companies, top business schools, and leadership development programs worldwide. Unlike surface-level personality tests, it reveals the deeper motivations driving behavior — making it a powerful tool for team building and workplace communication.
Participants complete the Enneagram assessment and discover their primary type among the nine distinct personality styles. Our IEA-accredited facilitators then guide your team through interactive exercises exploring how each type approaches communication, handles stress, and contributes to team success. Small-group discussions help team members recognize their own patterns and understand why colleagues may see the same situation completely differently. We pair the assessment with experiential team building activities so participants don't just learn about the Enneagram — they see it in action and leave with practical strategies for working more effectively together.
