Certified Enneagram Personality Testing
With surprising accuracy, the Enneagram accurately and clearly explains why you think, feel, and behave in particular ways based upon your strongest desires and your core fears. Through the Enneagram you will come to recognize and transform self-limiting behaviors into positive awareness that can enrich all that you do.
The Enneagram does not box people in, but rather opens a pathway to self-discovery and greater personal awareness. The Enneagram helps you understand yourself in a way that aids your ability to sustain meaningful and lasting relationships with others.
In the business world, the Enneagram is used by global corporations such as Nike, Google, LinkedIn, and Paypal in leadership coaching programs and team-building workshops to aid their teams toward positivity and higher productivity.
How Does the Enneagram Help?
The Enneagram is a framework of nine distinct human personality archetypes arranged on a circle diagram. Every individual’s personality contains varying degrees of each archetype. Through analysis, the Enneagram offers a rich map to personal development.
The Integrative Enneagram allows you to work on and resolve:
-
Emotional, psychological, and interpersonal factors blocking personal transformation
-
Resistance to change
-
Symptoms of stress
-
Interpersonal strain and conflict at work and at home
The Enneagram can support you to:
-
Understand yourself more
-
Develop a deeper understanding of the significant people in your life: partner, children, parents, colleagues, etc.
-
Make better choices in your personal life
-
Make academic and career choices that are suitable to your personality
-
Improve your professional and social interactions with other people
English-Speaking Adults Working, Studying & Living Abroad
Although life in a foreign country can be exciting and enriching, it’s not always easy. Many of my clients are global citizens moving around the world or the partners traveling with them, for whom the challenges can be even greater.
For over a decade, I have worked with highly diverse client populations in terms of national, ethnic, and religious affiliations. My clients include men and women who work for the United Nations, International NGOs, and not-for-profit and for-profit organizations, as well as English-speaking students studying abroad.
I have experienced many of the challenges that life abroad holds:
-
Inadequate Personal Support
-
Difficulty adjusting to Different Cultural Norms
-
Isolation
-
Homesickness
-
Feelings of Regret

Leadership Development ● Employee Mental Health and Wellbeing Programs ● Enneagram Personality Assessment + Debriefing ● Emergency Counseling ● Employee Support
The idea of a “one-size-fits-all” leadership development training does not meet your employees where they are.
Each person, according to his or her individual personality, needs to work on different aspects of their thinking, feeling, and behavior patterns in order to help them to reach their leadership potential.
I have worked with employees at a wide range of international organizations such as the United Nations Development Program, the World Health Organization, the World Food Program, UNICEF, and Intuition, as well as with students from The American University of Paris.
I provide employee support as well as personality assessment to help employees become more self-aware, improve their team-working skills, and increase motivation and performance.
