The Enneagram in coaching
UNDERSTAND YOUR OWN AND OTHERS' BEHAVIOR
Gain insight into why you do what you do – and why others do what they do.
WHAT IS THE ENNEAGRAM
The Enneagram is a personality type tool that describes 9 basic patterns. It helps you understand your own and others' behavior, for example, why you do what you do when you're under pressure, in surplus, socially, or in conflict situations.

Find your type in the Enneagram
One of the 9 Enneagram types is our core pattern. However, we all have elements of each type within us. Therefore, you may recognize traits from several Enneagram types when you read about them.
To find your core type in the Enneagram, look at the feelings, patterns, reactions, and actions that have been prevalent in your life. We tend to repeat the patterns we learned as children throughout our lives, unless we consciously work on our self-awareness, consciousness, and the possibility of doing things differently.
The Enneagram is about freeing yourself from existing boxes and old patterns. It is a tool you can use to connect with your core and access the resources and talents that are present in all 9 types. It can help you gain greater self-awareness and enable you to recognize your patterns, behavior, and development potential.

The Types in the Enneagram
The 9 types in the Enneagram describe 9 different ways of being in the world. It gives you insight into how and why the types think, feel, and act the way they do.
Once you are familiar with all 9 types, it becomes easier for you to understand what your colleague, manager, partner, child, neighbor, etc., needs. You will also find it easier to communicate, acknowledge, support, challenge, give feedback, and collaborate with them.
Therefore, it is a tool that can be used in all relationships and collaborations, not just professional ones, but any relationship you have with other people.
By using the Enneagram, you gain greater understanding and tolerance toward your own and others' thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns. It clarifies needs, challenges, and, not least, resources in yourself and others.
Do you know your type?
You have aspects of all 9 types within you, but one of them is your core pattern. All types are equally valuable and important, and there are good qualities and contributions in each of the 9 types that we can beneficially integrate both individually and collectively.
Your type is not who you are, but where you get stuck. When you know your type, you gain insight into how you can develop and what often holds you back.
Because you are more than your type. And the more you access all that you are, the more wonderful it is to be you and to be with you.

What the clients say…
"In our ownership group, we have had the pleasure of a program with Karina, where we primarily worked with the Enneagram. Here, we have explored our strengths and weaknesses, and we have become wiser about how we work, communicate, and react individually. It has been a great journey, and we have created a better mutual understanding for each other, as well as for other people, gaining insight into how and why they and we act and react the way we do. We give Karina our warmest recommendations."
