Educators

• Do you find that you work better with some colleagues than others?

• Are you finding yourself in conflict with the same parent again and again?

• Do you find that your principal is hard to get along with?

• Do you want to show your students how deeply you care about them, but you feel like what you’re doing isn’t working?

• Do you find yourself struggling with a certain aspect of your job resulting in extra stress?

After spending nearly a decade as an elementary school teacher, I know firsthand that every personality type has different strengths and learns and processes information differently. It can be challenging for educators to understand, empathize, and best serve the large number of people in which they come in contact with each day, from fellow teachers to administration to students to parents.

I wish I had known about the Enneagram while I was in the classroom because it adds so much value to educators as it is an efficient way to get to know how you and those around you “tick.” When we better understand ourselves and the “why” behind our thoughts, feelings, and actions, we can use the insights to be more effective both inside the classroom and out. Likewise, when we fully understand the people we interact with every day, we can extend patience and compassion and have healthier and more cooperative relationships.

If you’re interested in learning and applying the framework of the Enneagram in your school or another educational setting, I can be your guide. I offer individual sessions, workshops, and faculty trainings to coach teachers on this powerful tool and to apply its concepts to be the most effective educators they can be.
