More and more companies are interested in adding the Enneagram into their leadership and team development programs, but many aren’t sure where to start, how to structure it, or how to make it work within their budget.

If you can relate, I got you.

You don’t need a massive program or outside facilitator to get meaningful value from the Enneagram (although we're here if you prefer a guided experience!). With a simple, practical structure, you can run a meaningful team workshop internally, without overcomplicating it.

Whether you’re an HR partner, team leader, or internal champion, this 6-part workshop framework is here to help you get started.

In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we are wrapping up the 9 Types Overview Series with a look at Enneagram Type 9: Striving to Feel Peaceful, one of the most quietly influential and calming energies on any team.

Type 9s are often seen as easygoing or agreeable, but what I experience in leadership teams and workshops is something much more meaningful. Type 9s bring stability, empathy, and the ability to hold space for everyone, even when things feel tense or uncertain. In this episode, we'll explore together how their drive for peace shapes communication, decision-making, and leadership at work.

What You’ll Learn:

• What it really means to strive to feel peaceful
• Why Type 9s are natural mediators and stabilizers on teams
• How their desire for harmony can sometimes lead to self-neglect
• The Consensus-Builder leadership style and how it creates psychologically safe workplaces
• How instinctual biases shape different expressions of Type 9
• Growth insights through Type 9’s arrows to Type 3 and Type 6
• How to give feedback to Type 9s in ways that build confidence and voice

Try This at Work:

• If you’re a Type 9: Speak your opinion before being asked. Your perspective matters more than you think.
• If you work with a Type 9: Invite their input and don’t mistake silence for agreement.

For Teams & Leaders:

Type 9s bring calm, empathy, and steadiness to teams, especially in times of stress or change. They are often the emotional glue that holds groups together.

Teams thrive when Type 9s are encouraged to take up space, voice their ideas, and step into their influence, not just keep the peace.

In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we are continuing with the 9 Types Overview Series with a closer look at Enneagram Type 8: Striving to Feel Powerful.

Type 8s are often labeled as controlling or aggressive, but what I see in real teams and leadership rooms is something very different. At their best, Type 8s are decisive, protective, and deeply committed to fairness and truth. In this episode, we'll unpack how their drive to feel powerful shows up at work in areas such as communication, leadership, and decision-making.

What You’ll Learn:

• What it really means to strive to feel powerful
• Why Type 8s value autonomy, honesty, and impact
• How their intensity can be a strength, and when it cause issues
• The Commander leadership style and how it creates clarity and momentum
• A few potential workplace friction points for Type 8s
• How instinctual biases influence different expressions of Type 8 energy
• Growth insights through Type 8’s arrows to Type 2 and Type 5
• How to give feedback to Type 8s in a way that builds respect, not resistance

Try This at Work:

• If you’re a Type 8: Practice pausing before reacting. Ask for input, even when you already have a strong opinion.
• If you work with a Type 8: Be direct and honest. Don’t read intensity as anger, ask clarifying questions and name what you’re experiencing.

For Teams & Leaders:

Type 8s bring courage, clarity, and protection to teams, especially in high-pressure situations. They are often the ones willing to say what others won’t and take responsibility when things get hard.

Teams work best with Type 8s when there’s mutual trust, direct communication, and space for vulnerability. When Type 8s feel respected and included, their leadership becomes a powerful force for good.
