Something else I have begun to wonder about is transitions. Specifically beginning and ending sessions. Do you have top strategies for transitioning clients from their lives, traveling and arriving to the session? And what about completing?
Great questions! I am also interested in an exploration of top strategies for setting goals of what is expected from the coaching relationship, and how to keep track of the results.
I love how you continue to share what you’re learning, share your own challenges and be leaning into creating a world where everyone is playing their best game.
Thank you for inviting me to play. I want to learn more about integrating the Enneagram into my coaching.

I loved the questions and issues you posed. I can get into Digg to respond, but they can’t locate your blog….just FYI. I would like to know how you deal with it when something is very obvious to you about someone or their type and they DON’T see it at all. “How do you break through Denial?”
We’ll get someone on the Digg question and see what we can do.
I love the question about helping people see what’s obvious to you. As you do more of this work, and as you come to embody the Enneagram at a deeper level, you will see what’s holding people hostage with more ease. There is an art form to helping THEM see it. I’ll write up some of my favorite techniques and distinctions in being that will help you with this and post it next week to this blog.
One of my issues is that people don’t belive that they can actually change themselves with little help from me. Tehy often feel depressed, lonely, etc. How can I make my clients more confident and help them to cope with their serious problems? How do you make them say “yes” instead of “no”?
Thank you for the opportunity to learn how to deal with the very real issues that most of us encounter with our clients and I really appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with other counselors.I can’t wait to see the videos!
Great job! I would like some info from the get go and how you do a formal intake– which ‘test’ do you use to confirm their type (I am a phobic 6) and subtype. Of course as an enneagram coach you have your own gut feel on this but I have often used the test on EnneagramExplorations.com. Secondly, what is different for you as an enneagram coach vs. regular coach as far as the process goes? Do you request at least a 3 month committment? Do you also work with other assessments like Myers Briggs, Human Design, etc.
Thanks! I look forward to seeing what creative brilliance comes along next!
The truth is I heard about coaching and was fascinated by the idea. I was already running seminars and was looking for ways to have the ideas and techniques we were teaching to be more embedded in people. Many people would enjoy, learn, get fired up, but not implement.
I knew there had to be a better way. So I took some coaching classes, got a mentor, and jumped in. I suggest you do the same. Formal training and mentoring is CRITICAL in this game. It cuts years off your learning curve, gives you confidence, and something to fall back on when you are unsure, and your mentor is someone who can help you plan and take your next career steps as you move forward.
If you are really into the Enneagram as a coaching tool stick around. We will be offering both on-line training and live mentoring in the next few months.
The relationship with client is the number one piece…connection. I would love some ideas on ways to have the client feel deeply connected in the sample session.

This is very generous of you. I’m just starting out in this business - know the Enneagram rather well and i’m very interested in using it in my work together with other applications. Looking forward to your insights.
Thank You.
PS: Just realised, I’m completely in the wrong year… Has this ‘free’ training taken place and is it available somewhere to see what was discussed? Hope so.

I am interested in how you first became a coach. I have a true gift of talking, listening, and helping people. How do I begin to follow this calling?

This was great, can’t wait for the other idea’s. “In coaching we have to commit too something we believe in and have faith that it will come true.”
