Getting Started: Your Journey of Self-Discovery Begins

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. The path to growth, understanding, and effective leadership starts with a deeper knowledge of yourself and others. This guide will walk you through the initial steps of our work together, centered on the powerful tool of the Enneagram.

This isn't just another personality test; it's a profound map to understanding your core motivations, greatest gifts, and areas of challenge. Let's begin this exciting process.

Step 1: Discover Your Enneagram Type

Our first step is to get a baseline understanding of your personality archetype through the Enneagram. Please take both of the following assessments through the Enneagram Institute's official testing center. They will provide you with a comprehensive profile that we will explore together.

  • The Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI® version 2.5)

  • The Instinctual Variants Questionnaire (IVQ)

Once you have your results, please save them and have them ready to share before our first call.

Step 2: Build Your Reference Library

To support you throughout our coaching program and beyond, please purchase the following books. These will serve as invaluable references as you learn about yourself, your team, and the dynamics of different personality archetypes.
