ENNEAGRAM

The Enneagram is an ancient model that was first brought into the business world at Stanford University in the early 1970s. It is 9 ways of viewing the self and the world. We use the Enneagram as a way to model the combination of an individual's behavioural styles, combined with the first 4 lenses, hereby showing not just WHAT a person is, but WHY they are who they are.

SOCIAL DRIVES

The degree to which we are free to adapt largely to the current ability to survive and thrive and this rests on our sensitivity to biological drives and environmental demands. Put another way, we only have the capacity to pay attention to social and biological imperatives as they arise and address them adequately?

ENERGY CENTRES

The three Energy Centres refer to these different ways of processing what we experience and affect our sense-making and decision-making. As a result, they can also be thought of as three distinct 'Centres of Intelligence.' The three centres of intelligence are related to the areas of the body. Each represents a specific modality of mind.

RESILIENCE

Emotional resilience simply refers to one's ability to adapt to stressful situations or crises. Those who are able to "roll with the punches" and adapt to adversity without lasting difficulties, while less resilient people may have a harder time with stress and life changes.

PERSONAL MASTERY

The six factors on which we focus our attention aggregate to provide an overall index that suggests the degree to which an individual has progressed on this personal journey. A critical aspect of this index is its relative nature, because it is reported in terms of the population in which you find yourself.
