I took part in a two-day Enneagram course led by Alain, and it was an extremely enriching and deeply moving experience. Alain is a passionate, kind and captivating trainer. With his humour, his energy and his command of the subject, he makes complex ideas accessible. The two days flew by! This course helped me understand myself better and understand others better. Many thanks as well to the whole team for their support, their responsiveness and their warm welcome. I recommend this course without hesitation.

Thank you to ABP Consulting and Alain for the excellent delivery of the Enneagram course. I came to understand the Enneagram through a wealth of examples illustrating and defining the different profiles. And all of it while watching a real show from Alain!! A rich, very well-honed course that also leaves plenty of room for interaction and discussion between participants. Thank you and well done!

A team-building day for members of the Junior Chamber International (JCE) built around the Enneagram. The training given by Gwenaëlle LEFRANT was brilliant. Essential for getting to know yourself and understanding others. Thank you for a very enriching day!!!

A high-quality Enneagram course with Gwenaëlle Lefrant, thank you very much ABP Consulting! I advise everyone to take it, to discover the different facets of personality and all the ways the same event can be perceived. It's very enriching!

I was lucky enough to take the Enneagram course led by Gwenaëlle Lefrant and I highly recommend it! It is a fascinating course that helps you get to know yourself better, understand how you operate and better understand the people you deal with, in both your professional and personal life. Gwenaëlle has a perfect command of her subject and makes the course dynamic, lively and accessible. The discussions are rich, the input is concrete and the approach is both professional and caring. An extremely enriching experience that I recommend without hesitation.

Many thanks to Annie, a passionate trainer who explains things well and really listens. She passes on her knowledge with clarity and energy, which makes the sessions truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this training centre!

A buyer who has not said no has not yet said yes. In B2B, decisions are often made collectively, on the basis of evidence, and pushy follow-ups cost more than they bring in.
In a market where salaries are already high, money retains people poorly and motivates only briefly. People leave for other reasons, and most depend directly on the manager.
The reflex is to choose the language everyone understands. The right criterion is different: a training works when participants can argue, not just follow.
