The Enneagram isn’t just another personality test—it’s a deep, dynamic map of human motivation that helps teams build emotional intelligence (EQ) in a way that sticks. Unlike surface-level assessments, the Enneagram reveals why people think, feel, and behave the way they do, giving teams a shared language for self-awareness, empathy, and growth.
When teams understand their own patterns—and each other’s—they move beyond assumptions and reactivity, communicating with clarity, resolving conflict with compassion, and leveraging each other’s strengths.
This training will break down the core Enneagram types, how they show up under stress and in security, and how to apply this knowledge in real-time to create a workplace where emotional intelligence isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of trust, collaboration, and lasting success.
Training Details
After receiving my Masters of Divinity three years out of college, I went on to get an M.A. in Literature, and a Ph.D. in Creative Writing. That led to a decade of teaching at universities and colleges in writing and literature. Since then, I have worked as a solopreneur in publishing, a freelance writer for various trades, and as a reporter, analyst, and broadcast specialist for a logistics startup. Throughout these experiences, I always wanted to get back to my early call to use my learning and skills in service to others. I’ve come out the other side as an Executive Coach. My latest book is an investigation and practical application into the Enneagram called, Shock Point: The Enneagram in Burnout and Stress.
I am a certified professional Enneagram practitioner with the Chestnut-Paes Enneagram Academy, as well as a trainer and teacher from Jerome Wagner’s Enneagram Spectrum Certification program, and have also trained with Ginger Lapid-Bogda. I am currently enrolled in the Newfield Network coaching certification program, the first program ever to be certified by the ICF (International Coaching Federation).
I am an Educational Psychologist (Ed.D.), Licensed Professional Counselor with a Mental Health Service Provider designation (TN #1835), Board Certified Coach, angel investor, TEDx speaker, and workshop facilitator.
While I'm currently building Emma (our Emotional and Mental Health Machine Assistant), I still work with individuals as a leadership coach and train organizations in EQ and mental fitness.You can find out more about Emma by visiting our website.
I am a certified Enneagram practitioner through the Chestnut-Paes Enneagram Academy and am committed to integrating the Enneagram into my coaching and my own personal development. The Enneagram is a personality system that reveals our drives, motivations, mental traps, blindspots, and growth paths for lasting psychological growth.
