Note from the Course Facilitator
Ashlee, here. I am the CEO of Sway and Enneagram teacher. I first learned about this tool in 2011, and since then it has been serving me as a powerful resource in my both my personal and professional life. I went on to study at the CP Enneagram Academy and founded the Nine Shapes Project, which is a container to facilitate meaningful conversations.
The Nine Shapes Enneagram
During this course, we use these Nine Shapes as a visual aid to guide us around this personality framework as we explore nine unique types of leadership. The shapes came about as a way to be more curious about ourselves and those around us. Instead of boxing people in based on personality, the diverse shapes invite us to explore the truth that we as humans are all oddly similar and yet starkly different.
