Planning an Enneagram workshop for your team?

Before you decide on the agenda, activities, or even how much Enneagram content to include, there are a few bigger questions worth answering first.

In this episode of the Enneagram at Work Podcast, you'll learn five questions that can help you plan a workshop that is not only interesting in the room, but useful once everyone gets back to work.

Whether you’re bringing in a facilitator, planning an internal team experience, or facilitating Enneagram workshops yourself, these questions can help you think more intentionally about what you want the experience to accomplish.

In this episode:

  • What do you want people to understand differently after the workshop?
  • What do you want people to do differently afterward?
  • Who is actually going to be in the room - a leadership team, intact team, cross-functional group, new team, or multiple departments?
  • How much Enneagram content do people really need?
  • What will happen after the workshop so the Enneagram becomes more than a one-time experience?

You'll also hear about one of the biggest mistakes she made early on as a facilitator: trying to teach too much Enneagram content instead of creating enough space for reflection, discussion, and application.

The goal isn’t to turn everyone into Enneagram experts.

It’s to help people become better experts on themselves, and on the relationships they navigate at work.
