Program Overview

“Coaching with the Enneagram” is based on multiple perspectives to coaching: coaching methodology, coaching techniques, Enneagram knowledge and skills, coaching practice with feedback, and ample self-development. And while expertise, experience, and skills matter, what matters just as much is the character and qualities of the person doing the coaching. This includes their humanness, authenticity, level of self-mastery, centeredness, clarity about their motivations for wanting to coach, their ability to listen without judgment, and factors such as presence, being able to be in divided attention where they are fully attentive to more than one thing, and more.

Coach Self-Development

During the program, everyone is both a coach and a client. This is true each day, as participants practice their just learned knowledge and skills in multiple mini-skill practice pairs that occur throughout. At the end of each day, participants also engage in Peer Coaching trios who coach one another in the same trios throughout the week for a more intensive coaching experience. Being coached is just as beneficial as being the coach for several reasons: (1) it is an opportunity for your growth as a person and a coach, and (2) it gives you a first-hand experience of being in the client role.

There are other self-development opportunities interspersed in the program: multiple centering activities for you to experience and use for yourself daily or right before you go into a coaching session, type group work, and small group work.

Coaching Knowledge

This program contains a great deal of cognitive and theory input, and these content areas are always combined with information and skill-practice that allow you to put the cognitive learning into action.

You’ll learn about coaching frameworks, coaching processes, and how to choose which approach is best for you and your client. Even more, you’ll learn about how to assess a client’s level of self-mastery within their Enneagram style and why certain approaches work best with the different levels of mastery. Every skill and technique used in the program is theory-based, so you’ll also learn why these work and when to use them.

Coaching Skills

The skills taught include time for practice with feedback, and the Peer Coaching trios at day’s end provide a time to utilize the day’s techniques. The Peer Coaching involves 3 individuals involved in 3 rounds of coaching; in each round, one person is the coach, the other is the client, and the third person is the observer, who offers feedback after the coaching interaction.

Coaching Techniques

Great techniques used at the right time can make a huge difference in the depth and acceleration of the coaching experience. However, the best technique is for the coach to appear not to be using any, even though excellent coaches are highly trained and use a variety of techniques. A fine musician knows the scales and has mastered technique, but they appear to be playing without effort. Similarly, a skilled coach who knows how to be centered and in presence functions like a fine artist.

This program is not about technique, it is about coaching excellence with the Enneagram. You’ll learn 20+ techniques, but you’ll also learn when and how to use them. The program techniques are drawn from a variety of disciplines: Gestalt awareness, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), psychotherapeutic models, visioning, Enneagram theory, and more. Often less (technique) is more in terms of positive impact.

Program Overview

“Advanced Coaching with the Enneagram” is an intensive, 5-day virtual program that meets from 9AM to 1PM each day (except for the last session, which ends at 2PM) and is open only to participants who have completed Ginger’s first program, “Coaching with the Enneagram,” or who have a strong Enneagram knowledge and are not new to the coaching profession. It is also expected that participants already use the Enneagram in their coaching practice.

The program is based on the philosophy that coaching is a client-centered or client-focused experience in which the coach brings skills and knowledge in service of the client’s growth and transformation. This includes accessing all of themselves – head, heart, and mind; alignment with their intentions and values; and integration, which means the client needs to integrate all of their learning, including the somatic aspects of coaching. To this end, the coach needs to be on a continuous growth trajectory in which the coach also accesses all of her- or himself is aligned and congruent and is continuously working toward their own integration as a coach and as a person.

Although the basics of coaching are reviewed in this program – for example, what is coaching, coaching ethics, and the core skills of listening, questioning, feedback, and challenging clients through direct communication, the program goes deeply and broadly into sophisticated coaching knowledge of their client’s patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, and nuanced skills in client-coach interactions, all using the Enneagram.

Each participant selects one deep coaching desire and, using the same desire throughout the week, engages with a variety of other participants (as coaches) in relation to this deep development desire. Because of this focus, the program helps all participants learn how to coach clients at a vertical (deep) as well as horizontal (practical) level and also go deeply into their own development as coaches.

International Coaching Federation (ICF)

The ICF, the largest global coach accrediting body, has approved both Enneagram in Business coaching programs for ACSTH credits and will be transitioning to Level 1 ACC credit hours. From attending either Enneagram in Business coaching program, you’ll receive a coaching certificate from The Enneagram in Business worth 50 ICF credits that can be applied toward all ICF coaching credentials or ICF coaching credential renewals, there are other requirements as well: a specified number of documented client coaching hours, a coaching standards test, 10 hours of mentor coaching by an ICF approved mentor-coach, and a performance evaluation of a coaching session. Tracy Tresidder, a Senior Member of the Enneagram in Business Network, is an ICF authorized mentor-coach and offers discounted rates to participants of The Enneagram in Business coaching programs for mentor coaching and the required performance evaluation: Tracy Tresidder (Australia) tracy@tracytresidder.com

Please note that each ICF coaching credential level (ACC, PCC, MCC) requires a different number of coach training hours. Each coaching level (ACC, PCC, MCC) also has additional requirements such as a specified number of documented coaching hours plus more. Please visit the ICF website for all current details about ICF credentials and renewals.

To receive the training hour credits from our programs, you only need to submit the program certificate you receive at the end of our programs. Your initial certificate will have the word “provisional” on it. This means that if you are pursuing an ACC and use Tracy Tresidder as your mentor coach and for the performance evaluation, she will notify us once you have completed both requirements. We will then send you a new certificate without the word “provisional.” All other participants can use the initial “provisional” certificate for 50 ICF credit hours following the ICF “portfolio path.”

DEIJ STATEMENT
All are welcome!
Effective date: January 2023

The Enneagram in Business embraces and promotes diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in our program offerings, the Enneagram community, and the coaching, consulting, and training professions. We believe that all organizations are obligated to look for systemic issues around racism, bias, and injustice within and to bring attention to it in society as a whole. We at the Enneagram in Business are uniquely able to demonstrate and promote these values as we work internationally with professional leaders, influencers, trainers, and coaches.

Non-Discrimination Policy
It is the policy of the Enneagram in Business that:

Recruitment and hiring of all personnel are conducted without discrimination against any individual with regard to race, age, religion, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, or veteran status.

All program participants have the right to an environment free of discrimination and harassment. This includes, but is not limited to, discrimination or harassment in the areas of race, age, religion, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, or veteran status.

The Enneagram in Business is committed to learning and professional opportunities for people with disabilities and will do its best to make necessary accommodations to ensure that its processes and programs are fully accessible.

Participants who wish to report discrimination are encouraged to follow our stated Grievance Policy. The Enneagram in Business will promptly investigate all claims and reports of inappropriate conduct.

We are a values-driven organization. Our core values, which you can read below, are based on “Blue Ocean principles” adapted from “Blue Ocean Strategy.” In addition, we have operational values such as these and operationalize them in our programs and work with clients:

Truth-telling
We tell participants and clients the truth about what we offer and what we observe in them, at the same time doing so with respect and compassion/empathy.

Maintaining ethical boundaries
We do not over-sell or overstate what we offer; we adhere to strict rules of client confidentiality, whether for program participants or organizational clients; we review ethics and ethical boundaries with participants in all our programs; we will not engage with clients or participants who we perceive as unethical.

Transparency
We are transparent in what we offer, what we charge, what to expect when working with us in any way. If we make an error, we acknowledge this rather than avoiding the problem or shifting the blame. We answer all questions unless there is an ethical issue or confidentiality boundary involved.

Integrity
Integrity, to us, means acting in accordance with our values. We strive to do this and if we should fall short in any way, we discuss the issue and realign the way we work if needed.

The following are the Blue Ocean ethics we require of the Enneagram in Business Network (EIBN) members and ourselves.

Professional Self-Presentation
Honest about background and experience; does not mislead explicitly or implicitly

Intellectual Property
Respects others’ intellectual property, asks permission to use, honors copyrights, does not plagiarize

Sharing of Information
Willingly shares information with others who can benefit from it; is continuously creating new material so has no need to hoard information

Competitive Orientation
Does not focus on competition to determine what they should do, competes against self in order to continuously improve work, collaborates in an egalitarian way

Pricing
Charges fairly and neither overcharges to take advantage of clients nor undercharges to undercut the competition

Financial Values
Money is not a primary motivator, honors financial agreements even as circumstances may change

Strategic Orientation
Creates new market space coming from an abundance paradigm

Psychological Orientation
Takes responsibility for own behavior, takes a problem-solving orientation, moves on after conflict with others

Client Orientation
Respects the client relationships of other professionals

Interpersonal Orientation
Refrains from gossip or negative comments about colleagues and competitors, engages in self-examination and self-work rather than using others to vent or to harm, expresses concerns directly when concerns arise, acts respectfully toward others even when there are problems
