The Enneagram: The Nine Levels of Integration
|
The Enneagram is one of the only personality assessments that identifies underlying motivations and pathways out of reactive stress responses and into conscious choice.
The Enneagram is used by companies, consultants, therapists, and coaches as a self-assessment tool for clients and/or employees. The Enneagram also helps people identify their location on the personal development spectrum.

The Enneagram is a wonderful self-assessment tool for clients to identify blind spots and action steps towards their healthiest and highest self. It also helps you learn how to identify your own patterns that limit and how to create your own path for integration personally and professionally.

Compassionate Communication & Coaching to Wholeness

The Neurobiology of Emotional Intelligence and Somatics
So·mat·ic - /səˈmadik/ - adjective
"Of, or relating to, the body."
Learning how to use the wisdom behind the body's natural feedback systems to increase client self-awareness gives the client a huge advantage in their work with you. The "gut", or body response, reacts 9x faster than the brain.
Additionally, the body's feedback systems are also not prone to self-deception, like the human mind is. Unlike the mind, which can be focused anywhere, the body is always in the present moment.
Understanding the role of somatics, and "body language", in coaching rounds out the coach's ability to get at what is beneath the surface for a client.
With somatic coach training you learn how to:

Instructor: Nancy Smyth, MCC, CPCC
In Nancy's segment of the program, the principles outlined in the Anatomy of Peace, by Arbinger, are explored in the context of coaching. She examines the 4 key ways "in the box" thinking shows up for us as the coach and in our clients.
