Using the Enneagram to enhance communication allows you to understand how each type communicates, their strengths and development areas, and to be better understood and to understand others.
Conflict
The Enneagram’s conflict application allows you to approach conflict in ways that minimize stress, increase self-development, reduce reactivity, create collaboration, and enhance productivity.
Decision making
We all make decisions daily, but do we understand how we can make better decisions? The Enneagram helps us understand how we currently make decisions and how to optimize our decision-making process.
Feedback
The Enneagram’s feedback application enables you to learn how to give effective feedback to others of the 9 types, as well as how to enhance your ability to both give and receive feedback.
Interactions

Leadership
Nine versions of leadership grow from our Enneagram types, yet we take these for granted. The Enneagram is an insightful and powerful way to develop your leadership skills and work on your development areas.
Teams
The Enneagram helps new and existing teams to work more effectively. It also allows teams and team members to understand and discuss what previously felt unsaid or subjective in an objective, productive, and action-oriented way.
