In our coaching and training, teaching and facilitating, we encounter people from all manner of backgrounds and walks of life, who express their need to understand themselves and others better. In our work, we are guided by the increasingly acknowledged premise that EQ (Emotional Quotient) is as important, if not more so, than IQ, in terms of creating success in life. It has been evident from the depth and degree of client and delegate feedback, that this work has a significant part to play in developing that success.

Why write the books?
This question finds its answer in the heart of the Enneagram teaching. As two ‘Peacemaker’ types, everything we stand for and believe in aims to promote harmony, to enhance relationship, to bring out the very best in people. Our passion and enthusiasm for the Enneagram are boundless. It is an unparalleled source of enlightenment and compassion in the field of self-knowledge and human relationships. Our Enneagram training is invariably met with huge appreciation – we see its worth time after time, bringing relief and revelation. These books wrote themselves. They are the natural response to the need to take this transformational work further.

Our promise to you:
This work will introduce you to yourself and to others through fresh perspectives and deep questions it is guaranteed to enhance your experience of life and relationships.

Enjoy!
