We were so inspired by the generous sharing of knowledge and practices as well as the warmth and deep bonds of the Canadian Enneagram community that it sparked the desire in us to host our own conference. This was such a big undertaking that it took us a year longer to realise than we imagined. We are so proud and happy that it finally came together in this momentous event that marks a milestone in the history of the Enneagram in South Africa and Africa. Why is an event like this important for us in South Africa? In today’s world it is very easy to instantly access cutting edge ideas and knowledge online. We can watch videos of talks, listen to podcasts and read articles on practical Enneagram application at the click of a button. We can easily be inspired by our gurus and mentors from the other side of the world, without even having to climb out of bed. I personally love this as an Ennea type 5. But with this increase in access of content there is a remarkable decrease in human connection. What I love about a conference in the “real” world is the deeper sharing of our experiences. The friendship bonds and business connections we form in person are still more substantial and honest than those we form through social media. When we can look each other in the eye there is a different connection that forms. Allow me to invite you to be fully present as you participate in this conference. Reflect on your own questions and learning, and be open to learning from those who offer a different set of experiences and a different tradition of Enneagram learning than you may be familiar with. Be open to answering questions from each other. Have respect for each other and value each other’s contribution. To Ginger Lapid-Bogda for coming from the other side of the world to be our Keynote speaker. You have played a big part in supporting the South African practitioners, the community and this conference. Feel free and courageous to volunteer for panels and discussion groups. I am amazed by myself and what I observe in others when we communally step through the boundaries that separate us from each other. A special thank you to our International Presenters for coming so far to make South Africa part of the global community, and sharing your experience and knowledge of the Enneagram in practice: Annakarin Cecillia Mikkelsen, Beatrice Chestnut , Diane Ring, Ginger Lapid-Bogda, Mary Amohanga, Sandra de Clercq, Uranio Paes, Wendy Palmer (and thanks to Karen White). Be emotionally open and receptive. Voice what you are feeling in a healthy and mature way. We can’t always control our emotions but with support from our community members we can feel held. Sometimes we might not know what it all means, but that is also ok. Not knowing or understanding invites us to be in a healthy relationship with uncertainty and ambiguity. There is an unimaginable big job of administrating and orchestrating that happened smoothly because of Cherise Nortje and Charlene Pereira – thank you for all your hard work. What is your body telling you that you may not be aware of while immersed in the busyness of life? How easy or difficult is it for you to tune into the wisdom of your body? Are there activities at the conference which fall outside of your comfort zone? Definitely choose those sessions to attend! My own experience has shown me that there is often a great serendipity in participating in a session that is out of my comfort zone or experience. In the past these sessions have brought me many unexpected gifts, including the gift of knowing myself and my community better. To South African Enneagram Interest Group Hosts for your continual support and being the glue that binds together Enneagram practitioners and enthusiasts on a regular basis: Dr Lee Kingma (Cape Town), Marie Kruger (Johannesburg), Rina Vogler (Pretoria), Anne Heslop and Liz Witherspoon (Durban). To the Local Presenters who have stepped up to this huge milestone for the South African Enneagram Community: Bridget Woods, Casper Oelofsen, Dirk Cloete, Dr Dorrain Aiken, Elmarie Venter, Guy Thomson, Joni Peddie, Julia Kerr, Julia Kukard, Karolyne Williams, Kristen Carter, Dr Lee Kingma, Linda Hennings, Lucille Greeff, Marlene de Lange, Megan Galloway, Michelle Bennetts, Monika Adelfang, Nene Molefi, Dr Nicole Graham, Nolitha Tsengiwe, Nompi Vilakazi, Sharon Jansen, Simon Kettleborough and Tanya Stevens. To the Vineyard Hotel staff, in particular Catherine Gordon, Vuyani Sitshaluza and Chantal Bizaaré – for assistance and fantastic service in supporting us to put together this conference. To Lauren Rycroft of Through the Looking Glass for designing clever, eye catching and beautiful graphics throughout. To Congress Rental for Sound and Technical Services. To Eric Pannaye our photographer. To our Volunteers for your generous help. To all our Delegates, especially those that have travelled from far. I want to thank you for your support in making this conference a REAL event. I am blown away by the enthusiasm, generosity and willingness to participate from each and every one of you. Ultimately this conference is about the role you play in this living organism we call our Enneagram community. I celebrate our community and the diversity it represents. Enjoy your conference. Dirk Cloete October 2014 How can all of us build a healthy, thriving community of Enneagram practitioners and enthusiasts? 4 5 Presenters & their topics Session categories and duration Annakarin Cecillia Mikkelsen Independent Psychotherapist, Coach and Business Consultant Copenhagen, Denmark How to reconnect to your true nature? – An object relations approach Concurrent session 1 November 2014 Our minds are split into many fragments that are constantly fighting with reality and with each other. Because our minds are so complicated and disharmonious, it can take a lot of work to penetrate the thick complexity and darkness, to discover what the actual truth of reality is. If you observe yourself, you will see an almost continuous commentary going on inside. In this experiential workshop we will be exploring the psychic structure through a model, which extend Freud’s model of the psychic struc ture. Besides the well-known inner critic, this model includes the object relations, which is earlier than the inner critic and has a major influence on the development of our personality and functioning as a whole. All our connections are strongly coloured by various forms of object relations, which is why we can’t truly experience ourselves nor have 6 Presenters & their topics Session category Keynote Plenary Concurrent Endnote Duration 1:30 hours 2 hours 2 hours 1:30 hours meaningful connections until we can see through the personality structure. Understanding the design of that which keeps us locked up, can help us move beyond this structure. Observation and acceptance are two main ingredients to make these inner parts start working for you instead of against you. This workshop will give you a deeper understanding of how the personality was constructed and how these early constructs affects the quality of our relationship to our real self and to others in our daily life. If you really want to be free you need to approach the very core of your personality structure to be able to see through it. Topics include: • Why do we turn away from our true nature? • What happens on the inside when we turn away? • Understanding early development. • How do we achieve full individuation/maturity? • Overview of different methods relevant to different stages of development. This workshop will look at the Enneagram as a whole, combined with elements from Gestalt therapy, object relations, cognitive theories, the latest neuroscience and transpersonal psychology. The deeper function of the Enneagram is to point the way to who we are beyond the level of personality.

A comparative study of two operations in a large South African corporate For each of the nine types, I will briefly describe all three subtypes and then spend more time highlighting the ways the counter-type “goes against” the usual or dominant expression of the type. In describing each subtype counter-type, I will review the passion of the type and explore the ways the counter-type represents an “upside down” or reversal of the typical way the passion manifests. For each type, after I define the three subtypes and underscore the different ways the counter-type gets expressed, I will interview an individual with that counter-type (as part of a 9-person panel) to further clarify the characteristics of the counter-type.

She has taught Plenary 1 November 2014 interpersonal learning groups at Stanford at Northwestern University and facilitated University’s Graduate School of Business and the University of San Francisco’s According to pioneering Enneagram author Claudio Naranjo, for each of the nine Enneagram types, there are three instinctual subtypes, and for each of nine groups of three subtypes, there is one that is the “counter-type.” Each of these nine “counter-types,” appears to be “upside-down” and goes against the predominant energetic flow of the (passion-fueled) expression of the type. The “counter-phobic Six” is the most famous of these nine countertypes—but all nine types have one. Knowledge of the counter-types can help with identifying type correctly, clarifying differences among people of the same type, and deepening the self-awareness of individuals with a counter-type subtype. Through A case study of organisational development at multiple levels of scale over two years in two operations in the same organisation. The operations are explored as complex adaptive systems, influenced by and in turn influencing, the larger system. Engagement with each of the operations in visioning, strategy development, team engagement, leadership skills development, coaching, leadership councils, and conversations across the value chain have brought rich opportunities for insight into each operation’s ‘way of being’. Rich, unique and significantly different relational patterns and culture in each of the operations is revealed. Even more interesting is the possibility that the predominant enneagram profile (or type) of the leadership band (senior and middle managers) taken as a whole, is reflected in the behavioural and relational patterning across the operation as a whole.

Insights and questions that will be explored include: • Are patterns emerging out of enneagram types and tri-types at leadership levels, incisive indicators of behavioural and relational patterning throughout the operation? • How much do we dare to assume about the organisation from the General Manager’s type, or the Leadership Team’s type? • What might the predominant instinct across the leadership band suggest we’ll find in the organisation? • Do our observations of the key leaders tell us enough to make assumptions about their level of integration (on their Enneagram development path) or level of maturity/consciousness (as per the Leadership Maturity Framework) and therefore their capacity to effect change? Bridget Woods has an Arts degree (University of Natal), a Post Graduate For each operation, we take a look at: • ‘complexity maps’ that track interdependencies between multiple dimensions as identified in leadership dialogues, • an ontological observation of the general manager, • leaders’ coaching development objectives and evaluations • attendance, cancellations, postponements of workshops or coaching sessions, • leadership language and behaviour to indicate a level of integration and/or leadership maturity • initial and interim general observations documented by the consulting and coaching team • performance against key KPIs, and annual culture survey results and Diploma in Adult Learning (UCT), and is currently completing an MSc in Leading and Facilitating Transformative Change through Middlesex University.

We are able to mindfully respond when we can increase the moment of choice between stimulus and response/ reaction. It enables us to catch ourselves in the moment. When an individual has an increased ability to respond (rather than react) it becomes much easier to apply the Enneagram wisdom, for example, the lines of integration are easier to access.

Dirk Cloete & Lucille Greeff Co-owners of Integrative Enneagram Solutions Cape Town, South Africa Making Sense of COMPLEXITY with the Enneagram Concurrent session 2 November 2014 It is a VUCA world! This acronym refers to the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous nature of the world today. From a theoretical perspective, the shift from systems thinking to complexity theory represents a paradigm shift of great significance to the fields of organisational and personal development. From a practice perspective, individuals today are faced with more complexity and ambiguity in their environment than ever before in human history. The world is becoming increasingly complex to navigate and the Enneagram provides a compass to individuals on the journey through this complexity. At the same time complexity theory challenges our approach to life and our professional practices, as well as the coherence of the models and frameworks we This session will: • Introduce complexity theories in brief with specific reference to the Cynefin framework (Snowden & Boone, 2007) • Explore the ways in which the Enneagram offers individuals the opportunity for coherence in the face of ambiguity and uncertainty • Relate the application of the Enneagram to the ordered, complex and chaotic nature of systems • Present video-based interviews with individuals that links Ennea gram type to strategies and responses to ambiguity, complexity and uncertainty • Open the conversation on the implications of this paradigm shift for my personal life and my application of the Enneagram in my professional area of practice • Introduce methods and concepts that enhance personal and organisational development work in a way that is consistent with the implications of complexity theory. different levels of development? • What is the ambiguous and paradoxical micro-fractal within each Enneagram type that is also reflected in the macro-level paradoxes of belonging, learning, performance and organising (Smith & Lewis, 2011) • How do I grow my capacity to be present and grounded in a VUCA world, for myself and for the people and systems I work with professionally? • What frames of mind and consciousness support coherence in the face of the implications of complexity theory? Praxis refers to the relationship between theory and practice, where the one shapes the other in a repeating pattern. This session aims to develop praxis in the broader Enneagram community. • Smith, W. K., & Lewis, M. W. (2011). Toward a theory of paradox: A dynamic equilibrium model of organizing.

In general, the premises of VUCA tend to shape individual, collective and organisational capacity to anticipate and respond to conditions, make sense of patterns and interdepen dencies, build and maintain relation ships, recognise and respond to opportunity and maintain presence and coherence. Complexity theory holds great insight into the evolution, integration and exaptation possibilities of social systems; of the individual and the collective.

Wilber is well-known for his development of Integral theory, and in particular for his development of the model, the Integral Operating System, one of its five elements being stages or levels of development in consciousness. Included in integral theory is the work of Clare Graves, more popularly known through the application of his students, Don Beck and Christopher Cowan, as Spiral Dynamics. It is well-known in the enneagram world that the late Don Riso and Russ Hudson have developed levels of consciousness integration from pathologically low to exquisitely high for each of the nine types. What is less clear is how to integrate other theorists’ conceptions of stages in adult development (such as Spiral Dynamics, as well as theories of Robert Keagan, Susann Cook-Greuter, Lawrence Kolhberg) with the ennea gram types – or even if it is possible. The intention in this presentation is to share information with the purpose of engaging participants in their reflections on the topic.

Ph.D. Guy Thomson Internationally recognized Enneagram Author, Consultant, Trainer and Coach Los Angeles, USA Leadership Consultant Port Elizabeth, South Africa Unity through Diversity: Who Am I?; Who Are You?; Who Are We? Keynote 31 October 2014 In this provocative, inspiring and interactive keynote, we’ll examine who we are in terms of diversity dimensions and the Enneagram, as well as where we are as an Enneagram community in terms of fostering growth in the field. Diversity and the Enneagram address the questions Who Am I? and Who Are You? Developing both diversity and discernment address the question Who Are We? Understanding our Vulnerability through the Lens of the Enneagram Concurrent session 1 November 2014 Using Brené Brown’s seminal work on Vulnerability and Shame Resilience as reference we will explore how the Enneagram system gives us an orientation point for exploring our own vulnerabilities. Then using Riso & Hudson‘s work on the Enneagram we will look at how Vulnerability shows up in each of the types i.e. Type 1 – being bad, imbalanced, defective, corrupt, Type 2 – being unloved, Type 3 – being worthless, Type 4 – having no identity or significance, Type 5 – being helpless, incompetent, and incapable, Type 6 – being without support and guidance, Type 7 – being trapped in pain and deprivation, Type 8 – being harmed, controlled, and violated, Type 9 – loss, separation, and fragmentation. Participants will split up into groups and discuss the questions and share what comes up for them around vulnerability and perhaps their own vulnerabilities. Guy Thomson runs an Integral Coaching® and Organisational Development practice called Integral Leadership where “Vulnerability is kind of the core of shame and fear and our struggle for worthiness, but it appears that it’s also the birthplace of joy, and creativity, of belonging and love.” – Brené Brown he strives to facilitate the development of excellence in his clients.

In addition, Ginger offers easy-touse, engaging Enneagram training tools and created the Enneagram app “Know Your Type.” Vulnerability is a source of strength not weakness and though the lens of the enneagram we are able to begin to understand our defensive patterns and armoring. When we are able to drop the armoring we are able to become more present to others and ourselves so that we may show up in the world in a more authentic way. We will use six questions around Vulnerability from Brené Brown’s book Daring Greatly. 1.How would you define vulnerability? 2. What are the beliefs you hold around vulnerability? 3.How was vulnerability viewed in your family? 4. What were the lessons (spoken or unspoken) about being vulnerable? 5. Did you grow up seeing vulnerability modelled? 6. What’s your current comfort level with vulnerability? to help build personal resilience to cope with change.

A Domains analysis provides the Facilitator with a ‘snap shot’ view of the Team as a system, giving substantial and specific guidance to help bring about positive change in a reasonable amount of time. This is a useful tool for facilitating team performance Improvement. 3. Levels of Functioning within the Nine Domains Approach® indicates that teams, like individuals, can be more or less healthy and functional. Teams, can be supportive, encouraging, and growthful places in which to work. On the other hand, teams can also show varying degrees of negativity, ego-driven behaviours, and serious but hidden pathologies that make working in such an atmosphere difficult and counter-productive. At their worst, teams can be so destructive that they threaten the health and wellbeing of everyone in them. Having a way of objectively measuring these different states is extraordinarily useful and incalculably beneficial. This 2 hour workshop led by Joni Peddie of the Enneagram Institute SA will entertain and enlighten participants in a pragmatic and experiential way incorporating these concepts and taking into account EQ for Teams which need to perform with vitality as opposed to the volatile “rollercoaster” performance.

Julia Kerr Executive Coach and Corporate Activist Johannesburg, South Africa The Soul of Corporate South Africa is Dead: Bringing humanity back into the workplace Concurrent session 31 October 2014 Join Julia on an exploration of this provocative topic based on conver sations and observations of a growing sense of dis-ease and disconnect in corporate organisations and business. Through her anecdotal feedback, interactive and humorous style, she’ll pose questions and possible answers which draw attention to and raise the volume on whispers echoing in the hearts of many, through office corridors and boardrooms, the dining room tables of families, the rooms of many coaches, OD and HR practitioners. full spectrum of “boardroom battles,” 12 Presenters & their topics leadership facilitation engagements. To navigate these complexities, Julia turns to principles and practices of Authentic Leadership, moral ethics and in particular, the Enneagram as so much more than a personality typing tool but as a map to chart the way through modes of awareness, changes and transition in oneself, in one’s teams, the messy web of relationships and geographies. Karolyne Williams Julia concludes, ““My intention is to provoke, invite and challenge you to embrace all aspects of yourself with more skill as you face the realities of your professional and personal contexts. By offering you a roadmap I also intend to inspire courage, hope and a call to skilful, mindful action which goes way further than “What’s your Type?” Julia Kerr: A knowledgeable and dynamic coach and change management consultant specialising in people change management and Marketing: while working for 3 different Multinationals, she experienced the speak to me about two distant lands: “Work” and “Personal” life, apparently the twain don’t meet.

In organisations, talk to me in a fast forwarding language of their frustrations balancing the tensions of revenue, hyper-competitivity and relentless change initiatives which appear to change little and the struggle to find, retain and develop their human capital.” Many symptoms persist and are most evident in the poor quality of conversations and meaning-making corporate leaders and their often reluctant followers, are having, or rather, not having. And, corporates fulfil a vital component of modern society. Julia says, “Those operating in commerce, leadership and coaching are not in the business of making businesses “nicer”, we’re in the business of being more successful and skilful.

The wisdom of the Enneagram sense of self therefore does not exist in a vacuum, but in relationship, particularly in relation to our primary caregiver as Object Relations Theory tells us and eventually a variety of internalized relationships within our psyche.

Increased selfawareness and self-compassion leads to better engagement with and compassion for those around us. A mechanism we use in our develop ment to begin to define/reinforce who we are for ourselves, is that of creating distinctions of who we aren’t (I-Other). As Sandra Maitri describes “Our sense of self is inseparable from our sense of what is not ourselves”. How often do we project these disowned characteristics on others, being unwilling to see these qualities within ourselves? Such projections of course, can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecies.

Her own journey has evoked a desire to empower others to become grounded in their being – wholehearted, mindful and resilient. Her master’s thesis was an evaluation of a coach training programme. Her interests in coaching and training come together in equipping managers and psychology students Concurrent session 1 November 2014 Authors such as Beatrice Chestnut and Sandra Maitri discuss how we can develop partly as a reaction formation against the heart point of our Enneatype, which encapsulates qualities that were for some reason or another not supported in our early environment and so we suppressed them, our conscious sense of self developing in reaction to and yet without these qualities. What parts of ourselves have we abandoned in childhood? How would our lives be different if we reconnected with these qualities afresh? How does this impact our compassion for and engagement with others? In the early months of life, apparently everything we experience, we experience as part of a whole, because we are completely merged with the world and are as yet unable to discriminate. Psychology of self describes how our identity begins to form, partly through identifying with our physical body, partly through repeated experiences of pleasure and pain and partly through the mirroring we experience from others. In African philosophy, we say “umntu ngumtu ngabantu” - a person is a person through other people. Our Integrative Enneagram Solutions proposes that working with the Enneagram involves exploring our splitting, our internal lists defining “Me” and “Not Me” and the paradoxes that lie therein, integrating the parts of ourselves we have for whatever reason left unrecognized. It is possible that these lost qualities might at a superficial level appear “bad” or “shameful”, but in reengaging with them, we might discover that they can also come with a richness, a wholeness that leads to a more diverse and balanced perspective Head of Coaching at The South African College of Applied Psychology Cape Town, South Africa Creating Unity with Others through Embracing Diversity within Self with coaching skills.

You join your new executive colleagues in the quiet of the Magaliesburg for two days of offsite teambuilding. DR Lee Kingma I thought this story sounded pretty heroic, so I used the theme of the Justice League, a team of comic superheroes who, while individually strong and sometimes even adversarial, came together to defeat an alien force that threatened to destroy them all. I tried to make it fun and gave each participant a superhero persona to ‘hide behind’ for the first segment, so they could explore the concept of being powerful in some ways (e.g. you’re super-fast) while vulnerable in others (you begin to disintegrate at a certain speed) to convey the messages that 1) you have something amazing to bring to the team and 2) you can rely on your teammates to cover your back. I used both the Enneagram and the character strengths construct from positive psychology to help each participant understand themselves better, understand each other and begin to see how they could use these frameworks to build their own teams back at the office. execs.

Too much emphasis on profit and results and the forcing of misaligned strategy will also shut Type Fours down or result in them leaving the organisation to find an idealised employer or vocation. be to wield your abilities like a suit of armour while secretly fearing someone will find your weak spots – especially during times of stress and change.

Although her day job is as HR generalist practitioner for Juta, a legal and academic publisher, she also lectures HR Executive Cape Town, South Africa The Paradox of Innovation and Structure – Harnessing Type 4 energy to create a sustainable organisation Concurrent session 31 October 2014 The hypothesis for this presentation is that Type Fours find it challenging to thrive in the corporate world. Corporate personality assessments such as Insights, Lumina and SDI do not capture the profile for Type Four as commonly understood in the Enneagram. Type Fours are not inclined to be conformists and their colleagues and bosses may find their intensity and strong emotions difficult to tolerate. Type Fours’ ideas may be misunderstood as being too ‘out there’ and controversial and the opportunity for innovation is lost because of the tendency for teams to adopt ‘group thinking’ rather than entertaining novel contributions. Only leaders who are highly self-aware and open to creative thinking will engage the Type Fours in allowing for divergent thinking. Most people have a Type Four quality to their thinking and this may be likened to the ability to conceptualise original thought, see novel solutions or be in ‘the flow’ when employees creating new products or services in the work place. When this natural ability to create is stifled, people feel demotivated, lose confidence and often resort to U-stress. This relates to just arriving at work every day to clock in and out and do the minimum of what is required. Participants will be invited in groups to explore how the workplace could respond to harness the innovation and creativity which Type Fours inherently offer if allowed and encouraged. This dialogue will be juxtaposed with the high and low qualities of the Type Four. A short You Tube clip will be shown of a young Type Four expressing the challenges of functioning at the healthiest level. The presenter will then offer key differentiators which are required in a sustainable organisation and explore the key drivers which erode talent. The possibilities of adopting positive Type One structure to the Type Four quest for freedom will be discussed. The proposed solution for creating a culture of inclusivity for a sustainable organisation will emerge from the contributions of the group dialogue and pragmatic HR strategies developed by the presenter. Kristen Carter: A former senior manager myself, I know how tempting it can and in South Africa on strategic HRM Type Fours also enjoy the freedom of self-expression in their choice of dress, grooming and behaviour. A strong culture of dress regulations, fixed work hours and tight deadlines will deaden their natural enthusiasm. Dr Lee Kingma has been an HR executive for most of her working career.

The frameworks that we have worked with include: • Defences • Edge • Rank and Power • “CD stacker” - (core and original wounds) • Inner Critic • Courageous conversations • Team dynamics and Role Theory We will look at individual team members, their typing and responses to the Enneagram, as well as the response to the Team Style and how team members have learnt to integrate the theory with practical application in their team and when dealing with Stakeholders. Ideas for ongoing workshops integrating Enneagram material to deal with various leadership challenges will be discussed and those that have landed well will be put forward as “best practice”. Nolitha Tsengiwe: As an executive coach and facilitator in leadership development Nolitha’s thinking is largely influenced by leadership that understands that sustainability of business in a transforming society is about consistently giving direction and enrolling others for high performance. To do this well critical competencies include selfawareness, interpersonal aware ness, and awareness of context both internal and external that the business operates in. In every coaching conversation my role as a coach is to listen for a topic, an issue, a theme that relates to the leaders functioning in the above mentioned areas. decides and acts in the world? It is about challenging and supporting the leader to continuously take responsibility for ones’ thinking and actions, knowing that the quality of action will be as great as the quality of thinking. The coaching process becomes an exercise in exploring different perspectives to broaden awareness for well-informed action. Nolitha works with senior and midlevel executives with high potential, who take on courageous challenges, who are willing to declare their area of learning within the domain of leadership and performance and who are prepared to invest time and energy in challenging their way of seeing themselves and their areas of responsibility to build leadership competencies. Clients who are in transition between roles, want to expand their scope of possibilities, see opportunities that they want to live into, who can own their uncertainty about aspects of themselves or how they interact with others, will experience me as both challenging and supportive in seeking opportunities for growth and profound transformation.

The emphasis throughout these voluntary gatherings was always on personal development and spiritual growth through Enneagram understanding. A shift occurred in her approach to the Enneagram a year ago after she attended Ginger Lapid-Bogda’s 5-day workshop on “Bringing out the best in the people you coach”, as she understood how she could utilise the Enneagram in the workplace. To experience a sense of this dis covery in a simulated team setting, participants in the session will be invited to move into groups of four where they will each work with the typing cards. Then they will discuss in the group what their choices reveal about their type, possible wings and arrows. They will be asked to observe what Enneagram connections they share with each other. Throughout the session participants will be invited to ask questions or add their own insights into how the Enneagram contributes to team development.

Monika Adelfang Enneagram OD Methodology Developer and Facilitator – “The Story Whisperer” Johannesburg, South Africa The Enneagram’s Invitation: Opening up a universe of possibility through individual and group stories Concurrent session 31 October 2014 The Enneagram is a dynamic model of transition, change and possibility. Presenters & their topics 17 It can remain relevant not only when we have our first Enneagram epiphany, “Aha! I relate dominantly to Type …!” For many people, decades later its richness and meaning continues to expand and remain timeless. The breadth and depth of inquiry and practice which the Enneagram can open up is immense. Again and again, whether you are a newbie or a stalwart in journeying with this universal mandala – the Enneagram’s Invitation remains open ended in: • Illuminating the different ways we do and can really ‘show up’ • Cultivating a deeper quality of relatedness with ourselves and others • Practicing showing up no matter the situation or role you are identified with; at home, at work, and in the world • Developing the ‘place’ in ourselves we respond from, as we navigate the transitions between endings and new beginnings The lived experience, the here and now, is the juice we have to work with. The emerging story which is top of mind for an individual or group is ripe with possibility in making the Enneagram invitation come to life in a real way for ourselves and others. During this session we’ll explore applying the Enneagram to support individuals and groups in describing their unique story. We look at practices to support shifting into the possible as their individual leadership and team journey unfolds. We ‘ll play with a few Enneagram applications that support being present to what story is relevant for an individual or group, observing how they respond to their stories and how you are affected by them. Participants will be exposed to applying the Enneagram as a language of personal contribution, a process for observing the nature of the story being told and practices that keep opening up the door, in response to the Enneagram’s invitation. 18 Presenters & their topics Monika Adelfang is a cross pollinator, and organisation development practitioner.

Nene Molefi Owner and Managing Director of Mandate Molefi HR Consultants Johannesburg, South Africa Diversity and Inclusion – The Enneagram as a tool for inclusion and transformation of organisations Concurrent session 31 October 2014 At first glance, the word inclusion seems quite simple to define. Dictionaries will tell you that inclusion is the “the action or state of including or of being included within a group or structure.” In contrast, to exclude is “to prevent someone from doing something or being part of a group; to leave out; or to think something is not worth attention”. These definitions highlight the important difference between “diversity” and “inclusion.” Diversity is a description or recognition of the dimensions of difference and Some of the large projects she has led include cultural diversity in the SA Sometimes ‘diversity’ and ‘diversity management’ are used interchangeably, but diversity by itself does not necessarily require management. It is simply a noun, a description of differences and similarities that people use to identify themselves (individually or within a group) or others. Multinational and local companies.

Nene is also a guest speaker and In working with a range of different companies, Mandate Molefi has observed that the shift to inclusivity requires a big change in mindsets, attitudes and behaviours, which can be greatly enhanced through the use of a powerful tool like the Enneagram. By focusing on “inclusion” and deeper inner work, one is shifting the focus from viewing diversity as a problem that needs to be solved, to focusing on concrete empowerment and actions that can result in a more creative, empowering and dynamic workplace for the individuals within it (managers, employees, unions etc.) as well as for the stakeholders outside it (shareholders, customers/clients, suppliers, etc.).

Dr Nicola Graham & Megan Galloway Nicola: Medical Doctor Megan: Growth Coach Cape Town, South Africa Mindfulness for Enneagram Practitioners Concurrent session 1 November 2014 We propose that the use of the Enneagram with Mindfulness practice is a potent combination for building integration, or unity, at a biological (intrapersonal) and at a community (interpersonal) level. According to Dr Daniel Siegel (1) integration both respects differences and creates linkages between differentiated elements of a system. By this definition then, integration creates unity through diversity. Integration and unity leads to the flexible, adaptive, and how we can use them better to be more effective, experience more meaning and connection, and live more happily. Mindfulness and the Enneagram At a brain level, integration occurs through building connections between discrete areas of the brain to increase connectivity. At a community level, integration occurs through understanding interpersonal differences with compassion, and building connections between people that honour and respect difference. Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malaysia, Bangladesh associate lecturer for two South African In contrast, inclusion is an action or a practice aimed at intentionally creating an environment that leverages diversity without reducing individuals to categories that need to be managed. The focus on inclusion re-orientates diversity management. Inclusion encourages managers and leaders to see themselves as active participants in the process of building a more equitable workplace, rather than as the ones tasked to manage other people. and coherent flow of energy and information in the brain, the mind, and between people.

She writes, teaches and coaches within the framework of applied neuroscience. Megan Galloway is a corporate and personal growth RESULTS coach. She is also an accredited Enneagram Practi The Enneagram provides a powerful framework for describing differences. It elegantly describes differences between the 3 centres of intelligence, the 9 Enneagram styles, the influences of midbrain survival subtypes, and areas of conscious awareness compared with unconscious behaviour patterns. For the Enneagram to be used wisely and not destructively, honouring these differences, and learning to create linkages between them is key. The evidence base that supports the use of Mindfulness to build both intra- and interpersonal integration is growing. Mindfulness practice develops the insular cortex, which is the seat of compassion, self-insight and a sense of union. Regular Mindfulness practitioners have greater levels of integration across brain regions, and report better compassion and empathy for people in their communities. By developing a Mindfulness practice, Enneagram practitioners can support themselves and their clients to explore ‘Unity through Diversity’ in real and meaningful ways. We aim to give practitioners practical tools that they can use in their lives and their work through an experiential workshop that explores the interconnectedness between the Enneagram and Mindfulness practice.

Nompi Vilakazi Finance Manager and Executive Coach, Durban, South Africa Painting Team Portraits – Seeing who we are, what we have and what we can do differently to Shape the Power of the Team Concurrent session 31 October 2014 An exploration of the gift of the Enneagram as a tool for team learning and growth. This is a presentation of work done with various teams using the Enneagram as a departure point for impacting their health through improved selfawareness, deeper understanding of others, and joint commitments. By observing individual profiles Presenters & their topics 19 and that of the team as a whole, the highlighted strengths, areas for growth as well as gaps in the team performance and competencies, the tools of the Enneagram can shift how people see themselves, each other and their potential contributions. From this picture, a new language also emerges and future possibilities open up that can be sustained through continued PDPs and ongoing team learning. Areas of exploration and conversation may include: 1. How, in a low turnover environment with low opportunities for change, the Enneagram may be a tool to create a space for shift in perspective, and therefore change where nothing else has changed structurally. 2. How the introduction of the language of the Enneagram can re-shape the relationships etc. within a team. 3. How injecting more selfawareness can raise the social and or mental health of a team. 4. Insights that can be used from team enneagram profiles, in guiding teams through a change management process.

Our interventions therefore aim to go beyond ‘traditional’ cognitive approaches to people development by facilitating behavioural, emotional, somatic and psychological shifts in people, primarily through the use of the Enneagram and the Leadership Maturity Framework (Cook-Greuter and Torbert’s work). Our session at the conference will begin by establishing whether an emerging market leadership style is possible or necessary, drawing on research and experience in Africa, Asia, South America and China. We will also introduce the Leadership Maturity Framework (Cook-Greuter, Torbert) and show the relevance of this model to understanding, managing and measuring the leadership development process. The rest of the presentation will explore how the enneagram could be useful to support leadership maturity in emerging markets, drawing on practical examples of programmes the presenters have run. We will explore programme structures, intervention processes and the intersection of methodologies, as well as approaches to measurement of outcomes. We will wrap up the session with lessons and recommendations for integrating the enneagram within emerging market leadership development programmes. Julia Kukard (BA Hons, MA, MBA): I have been working with the enneagram for over ten years, largely in corporate settings but also within NGOs and Government. My experience in facilitation, training and development goes back 24 years, starting as a Museum Education Officer, moving on to small business training in rural areas in Africa and latterly working within corporates with groups and During the last five years, Aephoria (the company we started) has designed and run intensive enneagram courses for companies within the petrochemical, FMCG, mining and banking sectors in emerging markets. These courses range from 2 to 16 days in duration individuals. I have worked in many sectors, many cultures and in many countries but remain fascinated by emerging markets and their requirements for leaders. My deep passion is how to support people to grow and mature. I run an elective on the UCT MBA and have co-written a book on Steward Leadership with Professor Presenters & their topics 21 Kurt April (GSB) and Dean Kai Peters (Ashridge).

Simon Kettleborough (BA Hons, DipMan, MBA, MSc.): I’ve been deeply fascinated with human behaviour ever since I can remember, quietly absorbing the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the British as I grew up in a 1970s UK. My working life started in the corporate arena, working in commercial roles for Tata Steel and Diageo (Guinness) and in strategy consulting for Arthur D. Little and as a result, I guess I realised that it’s tough to change the system when you’re in the system. So the last thirteen years have been spent consulting to private, public development, diversity, strategy and sustainability. I first encountered the Enneagram when I moved from Brazil to South Africa in 2009 and I’ve been mesmerised by it ever since. It forms the backbone of every Now more than ever, leaders and managers have to juggle the tricky tasks of navigating “seas of change” and “doing more with less” – a difficult balancing act. Adding to the challenge, organisations place increasing demands on leaders, requiring them to impart vision, initiate change and make difficult decisions over and above their operational duties. To conquer these demands, leaders have to be self-aware, flexible, adaptable and resilient. In a corporate world, resilience training gives employees the tools they need to sustain focus, energy and productivity. It empowers them to succeed under pressure and enhances their capacity for flexibility, creativity and innovation. programme I work on. I resonate with Enneagram 3 (SX).
