Welcome to my blog, "Working with the Enneagram."
I'd like to start with telling you what this blog is about and what I hope to accomplish with it.
"Working with the Enneagram" is about just what the title suggests: how the Enneagram model of personality can be used by professionals, mostly by consultants or coaches in the workplace but also by therapists, educators, and anyone else who uses the Enneagram to help others become more effective in their professional or personal lives.
What I hope to accomplish with the blog is a little trickier. Yes, I want to share the lessons I've learned in using the Enneagram in my work as a consultant and executive coach for over a decade. More than that, however, I hope to create a forum for solid, thoughtful, and rigorous information about the Enneagram as it is used by professionals. Therefore, I will encourage other people to share their knowledge as well, people like my associates at Awareness to Action International (www.awarenesstoaction.com), and other professionals who have wisdom to share.
The goal is to share information that is practical and grounded in real-world experience and logic, evidence, and (when possible) science. If you are looking for talk about an "ancient spiritual system" or any of the other woo-woo often associated with the Enneagram, this isn't the place for you (that stuff is easy enough to find on the internet). If you are looking for pragmatic insights that you can use right now, look no further.
I plan to update this blog at least weekly, so check back often. If you have any topics you would like me to address, send me an email at mario@mariosikora.com. If you have questions that I or my colleagues can answer for you, please let us know.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Mario Sikora
