The Enneagram for Healthcare Excellence

Navigating The Unique Challenges of Long-Term Care Leadership with Clarity and Purpose

The Enneagram is a problem resolution protocol and tool for understanding ourselves and others personally and professionally. As an Enneagram practitioner, I offer specialized coaching and team development services that leverage this powerful framework to drive meaningful transformation.

The Enneagram Approach to Leadership

The Enneagram stands apart through its dual framework that addresses both individual patterns and organizational dynamics:

The Three Instinctual Biases

At the foundation of the Enneagram are three fundamental drives that shape how we approach our work and relationships:

  • Preserving: Focusing on resource optimization, operational stability, and sustainable growth

  • Navigating: Developing stakeholder relationships, market adaptability, and network connections

  • Transmitting: Creating market influence, brand development, and innovation leadership

Understanding your primary instinctual bias helps identify natural strengths and potential blind spots in your approach to work and life.

The Nine Enneagram Strategies

Building on the instinctual biases, the ATA Enneagram identifies nine distinct strategies people use to navigate their world:

Each strategy represents a unique lens through which individuals perceive challenges, make decisions, and engage with others. By recognizing your dominant strategy and understanding those of your colleagues, you can develop greater flexibility and effectiveness in your interactions.
