The Enneagram for Teams

The Enneagram is a precise psychological framework for understanding how people perceive, prioritize, and react under pressure. In a team context, it reveals the hidden strengths each person brings and the predictable blind spots that undermine collaboration.

Unlike surface-level personality models, the Enneagram maps the deeper motivational patterns that drive behavior and decision-making. When teams share this level of self-awareness, they communicate more clearly, navigate tension more maturely, and work together with greater trust and effectiveness.

How We Work With Teams

Step 1: Individual Typing

You submit a short video and collage. We analyze these to determine each person’s Enneagram type. 

Outcome: Every teammate gains a clear, shared understanding of their core strengths, stress patterns, and blind spots as both a leader and a collaborator.

Step 2: Mapping Team Dynamics

In live workshops, we examine how your specific mix of types shows up in communication, decision-making, conflict, and execution.

Outcome: Everyone sees the underlying patterns that shape team dynamics, including what’s working and what's not.

Step 3: Practical Relating Strategies

We give actionable tips to relate better together, tailored to your team.

Outcome: Your team leaves with practical ways to communicate more effectively, navigate tension with less reactivity, and work together with greater trust and efficiency.

Josh’s Enneagram class blew my mind. I want everyone I work with to know this tool. If you are a start up founder, a leader of any organization, or a human in any other context, you should know this tool.

I went to Josh's Enneagram retreat last weekend, and it was exceptionally powerful. I went into it expecting it to be a good opportunity to treat it like a lot of other personality tests where you can learn about yourself and your weaknesses and try to better identify your blindspots. But what surprised me was how valuable it was to focus on all the types other than my own. I was able to, through Josh's storytelling, empathize with the other Enneagram types, and by doing that empathize with really important people in my life. People that I've have amazing relationships with, and people that I've struggled with in the past. And appreciate them not as one dimensional characters but as fuller humans.

I was pretty skeptical at first. I had taken the Myers-Briggs and not found that particularly actionable and even found it a bit reductive. But I really can't emphasize how powerful the Enneagram is. It's one of those tools where I feel like I was driving blind before having it. It's been genuinely one of the most powerful empathy unlocks I've ever experienced, and helped me really respond to behaviors that might have been bewildering or frustrating in the past in a more productive way.

Josh presented the Enneagram to our team at a team-building happy hour. It was engaging and had an immediate impact on our ability to work together smoothly — a few of our teammates had profound "aha" moments that softened how they relate to others on the team, and it gave each of us a fresh lens to see our teammates with empathy. In the days following Josh's presentation, the office was abuzz with new interpersonal insights, and the few people that couldn't make it wished that he could come back and do the whole thing again! As a CEO, I definitely recommend the Enneagram as a team building framework and Josh as a teacher and facilitator.

Josh’s Enneagram retreat was remarkable. I think about the Enneagram all the time now, and I feel it’s an incredible tool for founders, or really anyone. It’s been incredibly useful for understanding my own patterns and in helping me interact more effectively with everyone in my life — my partner, my colleagues, and the founders I support.

Josh facilitated a team-building workshop to help us clarify our organization’s purpose and values. He first taught us the Enneagram — it was fascinating to watch team members come alive as they recognized themselves in Josh's almost theatrical re-enactments. His presentation sparked meaningful sharing, which included everyone, and which set the stage for an exploration towards the values we came to see were precisely at the core of where we want to work. I watched our team members invent and start using the Purpose and Values right in front of me — in many cases eschewing my preconceptions of where we should go. The depth and heart that I watched my teammates exhibit during the exploration were a privilege to be part of; and I blame Josh. He‘s an articulate facilitator, who values silence, pauses in between viewpoint expressions, and listening above gabbing. His listening, and our listening, means that the room (where it happens) becomes a creative engine inside of which each of us feels comfortable and valued. Can you tell? I recommend Josh.
