"I highly recommend this invaluable training to experienced coaches, trainers, and consultants who are interested in expanding by using the Enneagram in client consultations. Utilizing systems theory and a well-established action research model, the Consulting with the Enneagram training supports diverse participants learning how to assist clients employ standard organization development (OD) planned change processes that strengthen organizational effectiveness and increase capabilities. Based on an experiential training model, Consulting with the Enneagram covers critical elements of consulting from front-end work including entry and contracting through implementing the planned change with the clients, termination and evaluation, providing participants real time opportunities to utilize and strengthen new skills, while benefiting from expert coaching that supports deeper and more integrated learning throughout the program."

"During the years I have heard many people say: ‘organization development consulting is easy if you just follow a structured process.' I agree now! I realized during the programme that what I needed was ‘the process.' Now I have a structured process to follow and that feels safe and effective. I highly recommend this programme to anyone who wants a bite of the OD cake – and that cake is rather large at the moment…"

"Working in consultant teams with real client issues, ‘Consulting with the Enneagram' was the most powerful course I have taken on both deep experiential and educational levels. I learned the OD consulting phases – contracting, collecting, communicating, challenging, changing, and closing – in order to identify critical issues and develop and implement an intervention plan fully integrated with the Enneagram for process consulting and coaching. I was greatly impacted by being part of a consulting team; consulting and coaching a client together, we were so much greater as a team than each individually. I highly recommend this course."

"The program is a must for both new and experienced consultants to improve both their skills and the quality of their work. Moreover, it encourages participants who might be tempted to acquire these complex skills quickly to learn a simple but efficient and effective methodology, as well as to gain firsthand experience in consulting. This program reveals and develops people's talents and abilities to help organizations of all kinds develop themselves, taking into account the environment, the organizational structures, and people. This is nothing less than the art of consulting. I love this program."

"‘Consulting with the Enneagram' is like three excellent workshops in one. One, the workshop breaks the consulting process into easy-to-understand-and-implement building blocks equally useful for the experienced consultant and those new to the process. Two, the workshop provides focused experience in applying the consulting process and the Enneagram to a real world issue presented by one of the participants. Three, the workshop creates the opportunity to deepen your capacity to work with the Enneagram in a team of masters from around the world. In short, one of the best professional education meetings I have ever experienced!"

"Again, I go home with a feeling that I had more than I expected. The program runs at many levels. There is a theoretical level of learning something new. There is a team process that always is a learning process for someone like me who teaches teams every day, and it is nice to feel in my own body what they go through. One more level is the whole group of participants that form a team, too. Last but not least, there is the level of personal growth. It's right there in front of you – and most people in the programme grab it and take the difficult journey through whatever is challenging in their type. To take that trip and at the same time watch other do the same is a very life-affirming process for me. And… it is all conducted in a very safe and professional way."
