Enneagram of Patterns

The Enneagram is a profound, elegant, and very pragmatic approach to understanding people and their relationships. It describes nine basic world-views, nine different ways of doing business in the world, nine patterns of motivation. Each of the nine patterns has its own natural gifts, limitations and blind spots; each has its own distinctive ways of thinking, acting and being.

The Enneagram teaches us in practical ways to see the world as others see it. You can then appreciate what others value and what they do not, and why they think, feel and act the way they do. When you know the Enneagram pattern of the people in your life, you can respond to their intent, instead of getting caught in their sometimes difficult or confounding behaviour. You can nurture their fundamental strengths, and know in what situations they are likely to be rigid or unskilful. You can make conscious choices instead of acting on automatic.
