Patterns of Personality

Patterns of Personality
– leading yourself and others using the Enneagram

A pragmatic model to help you navigate the challenges and opportunities of leading. If you take the lead in your self-development, lead a team in the workplace, parent in the home-place, host a community space, this program helps you become more familiar with the nine personality patterns. You are so much more than your patterns of personality and yet by learning this model you can begin to realise the depth and breadth of your potential. This self-study program consists of four modules.
