What people say of learning the Enneagram with Dale and Cathy:
Cathy Hitchcock and Dale Rhodes share their complementary professional experience, formal training, and education to make a most effective consulting and teaching team. Their intention to bring about positive change through employing the Enneagram is matched by their abilities to skillfully apply the system in many different arenas, such as businesses, organizations, nonprofits and small groups. Their work will offer you delight and great benefit. Helen Palmer, author of The Enneagram in Love and Work
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
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,Co-chair Art Department Marylhurst University
We invited Dale Rhodes to facilitate two staff development programs, and at both times our organization was in a period of transition. Each day was a productive and enriching experience for the staff, both as individuals and as members of an organization. Our Enneagram work helped each of us to understand who we are and how we make decisions, and to have a common language for integrating our individuality into a cohesive and supportive staff environment. The Enneagram has empowered us to enact well our organization's mission of community, spirituality and service. John Matcovich, Executive Director, Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest

What is the Enneagram?
A sophisticated and powerful ancient tool for self-understanding, the Enneagram is used worldwide as an effective tool in business, psychology, spirituality and ethics. The Enneagram reveals that all people belong to one of nine personality types. Discovering the “lens” through which we view the world is the first step in comprehending how others may experience the world differently.
The purpose of the system is not to put you into a box, but to help you see and get out of the box you are already in.
Our programs lay the foundation for understanding your type and the types of those important to you. People from all walks of life have found our programs educational, transformative, and fun.
Using group process exercises, along with the most recent research materials (including books, DVDs, videos, articles), our programs highlight and evoke the potential for growth in relationships, work settings, groups and organizations.

Individual and Group Development
Each personality type has gifts and challenges that affect behavior in relationships and at work. Using the Enneagram, each type can address the more challenging traits and develop specific gifts related to that type. Working in an environment with this common tool supports everyone’s awareness of group challenges and strengths.
The Observer can move from choosing to be isolated and detached to offering the useful skills of observation and objectivity.
The Loyal Skeptic can leave the stance of fear and defensiveness to stand confidently in a role that uses natural troubleshooting abilities and instills loyalty.
The Epicure can transform an impulsive and undisciplined habit into a responsible role that shines optimism and innovation.
The Protector can change tendencies of aggression and the need to control to become trusted as one who can lead confidently while gently protecting others.
The Peacemaker can transform stubbornness and apathy into an open-minded yet engaged approach that brings consensus and harmony.
The Perfectionist can let go of resentments and judgments to bring out the natural skills of reliability, high standards and strong ethics.
The Giver can drop manipulative and unhelpful roles so that natural generosity and helpfulness are offered freely.
The Performer can relax the need for competition and playing false roles to become truly persuasive and authentically effective.
The Romantic can overcome a melancholic and envious stance and bring out naturally creative and intuitive gifts.
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.
