The Perennial Team Experience

Enneagram-Based Professional Development for Teams

Help your team understand themselves and each other better, communicate more effectively, navigate conflict, and build stronger working relationships.

Your team is made up of different people. That’s the point.

They communicate differently. Make decisions differently. Respond to pressure differently. Approach conflict differently. And sometimes, the very qualities that make someone valuable to the team are the same ones that can make working together complicated.

The Perennial Team Experience uses the Enneagram to help teams understand what drives their own behavior, better understand the people they work alongside, and build practical skills for communicating, navigating differences, and working well together.

This isn’t about putting people in boxes.

It’s about giving your team a shared language for understanding what happens between people at work, and what they can do differently once they see it.

Your team will learn to:

• Understand the motivations behind the nine Enneagram types

• Recognize their own patterns, strengths, and stress responses

• Better understand why coworkers may approach the same situation very differently

• Communicate with greater awareness of the person on the receiving end

• Navigate personality differences without making them personal

• Recognize and work through common sources of workplace conflict

• Leverage the different strengths already present on the team

• Turn greater self-awareness into practical changes in how they work together

Choose the experience that fits your team

One-Day Intensive

A strong foundation in understanding yourself and the people you work with.

This interactive, customized training introduces your team to the Enneagram and gives them a practical framework for understanding the personalities, motivations, communication styles, and stress patterns they encounter every day.

Participants leave with a greater understanding of themselves, a new lens for understanding their coworkers, and practical ways to begin navigating differences more effectively.

A good fit for teams that want:
A meaningful introduction to the Enneagram, greater self- and team awareness, and practical tools they can begin using immediately.

Three-Session Series

From understanding each other to changing how you work together.

The three-session experience gives your team time to learn the Enneagram, put it into practice, and return to the conversation with real workplace experiences to explore.

Session 1: Understanding

Build the foundation. Learn the nine types and their core motivations, begin recognizing individual patterns, and develop a shared language for understanding one another.

Session 2: Application

Take the Enneagram into the workplace. Explore communication, stress responses, conflict, personality differences, and what helps or gets in the way when different people work together.

Session 3: Integration

Bring the learning together. Explore your team’s specific dynamics, work through real challenges, leverage individual and collective strengths, and develop strategies for continuing the work beyond the training.

A good fit for teams that want:
More than a one-time training. The series allows your team to practice what they’re learning between sessions, bring real situations back into the room, and move from understanding the Enneagram to actually using it together.
