How
is the Enneagram useful in groups & organizations? The Enneagram
helps people intentionally relate to each other by understanding what motivates
themselves and others. Common problems caused by miscommunications,
hurt feelings, and other misunderstandings often result from people assuming
that others see, or should see, the world the way they do. The Enneagram
puts organizational members on the fast track to improving their working
relationships. With knowledge of the Enneagram, one can respond and
interact in a manner that results in deeper understanding, better communication,
and a more skillful use of energy toward achieving mutual goals.
With this common understanding and vocabulary among members, groups and
organizations can be positively transformed.

What people say of learning the Enneagram
with Dale and Cathy:
Cathy Hitchcock and Dale Rhodes bring their
professional expertise in psychology and spiritual direction as they explore and
deepen our clients' awareness of the spiritual dimension of healing using the
Enneagram as their teaching tool. They offer hope for potential change, for
those struggling with addiction, as clients are introduced to a deeper
understanding of their “type”.
-- Jacky C. Johnson, MA, CADC II, Spiritual
Care Counselor
Dale and Cathy did a wonderful job of
leading a day and a half workshop for my team of managers. They
brought the Enneagram to life by modeling its lessons in their teaching
style. By the end of the workshop, my team had a good feel for how to use
the Enneagram to understand their own personality styles and to
interact more effectively with their peers and subordinates.

Cathy brings a wonderful combination of wisdom, compassion and skill to
facilitating a retreat. I felt encouraged to learn, supported to explore more
deeply, and helped with resources that I continue to apply in my work and
personal life.
-- Kelcey Beardsley, faculty, Art Department
Marylhurst University
Dale did a great job of
introducing the Enneagram to staff, board members and consumers at disAbility
Resources. The workshop encouraged people with disabilities to reflect on
some of the patterns in our lives, understanding what motivates us and what
areas we may want to change. In addition, it gave a better understanding
of basic personality types as we advocate for individual needs as well as for
systematic change.
-- Jim Baker,
Executive Director, disAbility Resources of Southwest
Washington
The panel interview
workshop gave me deeper understanding about the dynamics between the nine
Enneagram types. As individuals spoke from the lived experience of their
type, it was clear that this is a powerful tool for communication and creative
teamwork. Cathy and Dale are masterful presenters and facilitators. They evoke
the gifts and challenges of our diversity with compassionate understanding and
the right touch of humor. The Enneagram is now essential learning for both
students and faculty of our teaching community.
-- Suzan
Hill, Dean of New West Seminary.
Dale Rhodes facilitated one of our weekend
retreats last year for 70 Jesuit volunteers and staff. Dale worked
thoughtfully and cooperatively with staff in preparing the retreat to meet the
needs of the volunteers. Dale's wonderful abilities as a presenter and
facilitator enabled the volunteers to grasp an overview of the Enneagram and
then carefully explore each Enneagram type, identifying their own type and
considering how different types impact and are impacted by their community
members. I highly recommend Dale for individual and group work as he is clear,
insightful, engaging, and his passion for the Enneagram and its helpfulness in
our lives is infectious.
-- Jeanne Haster, Executive Director, Jesuit
Volunteer Corps: Northwest
Dale is such a wonderful teacher and
facilitator. All feedback has been positive. Even the skeptics
thought the time was well spent and meaningful. We really appreciated how
well he listened to each of us and helped us in the process of discovering our
type without putting us in a box or judging. We also felt that the
narrative tradition provided an opportunity for us to really listen to each
other in a deeper way than we’ve experienced with other tools such as the
MBTI. We could not have been more
satisfied.
-- Beth Towle, Director, Admissions and Communications,
Catlin Gabel School, Portland Oregon
Consider this a note of sincere
appreciation for your highly interactive presentation and profile session.
We discovered our Enneagram Type and with your case histories and encouragement,
identified paths for change. Thanks to your dynamic style, we benefited in
depth. In discovery,
-- Jim Shorr, Adult Programs
Committee, First Unitarian Church of Portland
