Questions about this training
How does this differ from the two-day self-awareness training?
Both rely on the Enneagram and positive communication. This training adds a third day a few weeks later, dedicated to assertiveness, self-confidence and win-win communication based on situations participants have lived, as well as a complementary Enneagram e-learning module.
What happens on the third day?
Participants share their experience of the tools, present their profile to the group, identify their communication profile through transactional analysis, build an individual action plan and are coached individually on their own situations.
Is there a prerequisite?
No. The training is open to everyone, whatever their role.

DISC and Driving Forces
Two days on two complementary instruments: DISC describes how someone behaves, Driving Forces describe what drives them underneath. Each participant receives their individual report and leaves with a strategy for the people they find hardest to work with.
Self-awareness and positive communication
Understand why you communicate the way you do before trying to change anything. Two days: an Enneagram test to place how you operate, then practical techniques to ask, refuse and criticise without attacking.
