COAC096 - The Art of Enneagram Coaching: Empowering Personal and Professional Growth
Course Description
The Enneagram is a comprehensive framework that articulates our human nature in great details. It conveys, with uncanny precision, our human behaviours, drives, motivations, where and how we can show up at our absolute best, and also ways our automatic patterns unconsciously drive us away from our true self. The Enneagram is used in personal and professional development, organizational contexts, coaching, and non-denominational spiritual practices – all with transformative impacts.
By integrating the wisdom of the Enneagram into their coaching, participants will be able to accelerate, deepen, and enhance the quality of their coaching relationships. Emphasis is placed on a blend of Enneagram theory and application, deepening the transformative impact in bringing clarity, awareness, and impact to the coaching process.
Using this blend of theory and a lot of practice, students will start developing a powerful coaching approach that allows for both greater self-awareness and meaningful lasting impact on their coaching clients. Additionally, participants will learn ways to develop the skills, capacity, and quality of full-body presence within themselves, furthering their own professional growth and development.
Course Outline
As an experienced coach, you will build skills, awareness, and competency in a presence-based approach to coaching, by integrating the wisdom of the Enneagram into your coaching practice. The Enneagram allows coaches to engage their clients in a truly transformative and lasting growth process, integrating all three centers of intelligence, through highlighting both the gifts and the blind spots of our personality.
You will explore the body of knowledge related to the Enneagram and will have the opportunity to experiment with new awareness and practices, both for yourself and your own growth and development, as well as for your coaching clients.
Through readings, discussion forums, webinars, assignments, a panel of practicing Enneagram coaches and teachers, coaching practices, your own Enneagram self-assessment, and your own experimentations with body-centered presence and the Enneagram, you will start building a robust and practical understanding and foundation of the Enneagram and ways to incorporate it into your coaching practice, as well as your further professional development and growth.
