The Enneagram
The most successful founders and the strongest teams understand what's actually driving them.
The Enneagram is the fastest way I know to get there and it's the difference between managing your business and being run by it.
Discover the Enneagram
Every founder and every team is run by patterns they can't see. The Enneagram makes them visible.
The Enneagram is an ancient framework, but what it surfaces is intensely practical: the core motivation driving how you lead, decide, delegate, and react when the pressure is on. The instinct that built your success is always the same one quietly capping it. The Enneagram shows you both.
Unlike a personality test that hands you a label and a tidy paragraph, this isn't a box. Instead, it gives you a starting line. Just as you keep evolving as a leader, so does what this work can give you.

Embracing the Enneagram
For founders, this works help you:
name the core motivation secretly steering your biggest decisions
see why you can't let go, why you avoid the hard conversation, and why you keep getting pulled back into the weeds
delegate and hold people accountable without torching trust
spot the pattern that built the business and the one now becoming your bottleneck
lead from your strengths instead of white-knuckling your blind spots
For teams, this work helps you:
understand why each person is motivated, how they handle stress, and where conflict actually starts
communicate faster, with far less friction and misreading
build the kind of trust that makes hard conversations safe instead of explosive
turn "we just don't get each other" into a shared language
Unlike other personality tests, the Enneagram provides you more than a description. It actually provides a map out. Your coping tools have quietly built the box you operate in. This shows you the box, and the way through it.
Uncover Your Enneagram Type
You can’t lead yourself, or anyone else, until you can see yourself clearly.
Your first step is understanding your primary motivation and the coping tools you've leaned on to get where you are. That comes from discovering your Enneagram type: the lens you've been viewing every decision, hire, and conflict through without realizing it. The most direct path is the CPS Enneagram Compass.
Or, schedule a 1:1 typing session and I'll interview you to pinpoint your type and subtype directly.
Become a Better Leader
We're all stuck inside our own heads, hearts, and bodies, which makes our blind spots nearly impossible to see alone. That's the work of coaching.
I recently watched a founder realize that safety and trust were the engine running underneath everything. We’re talking every hire, every hesitation, and every decision he'd told himself was strategy. Once he could see it, he woke up. He then led from it instead of being driven by it. That's the shift. The Enneagram is the diagnostic; coaching is where it becomes leadership.
Together we'll unpack what's getting in your way, build on the strengths your type hands you, and get you to the results, relationships, and decision-making confidence your business needs from you.
