The Nine Keys Introduction (a sneak preview)
Για Ελληνικά, πηγαίνετε εδώ Introduction: When I was 23 years old, I moved from Los Angeles, California to Boston, Massachusetts to be part a new East Coast office for the CPA firm I was working for at the time. Shortly after arriving, I started dating an attractive Boston chef. He was charming, affectionate and attentive and since we met as housemates, we were always together. And then, about 7 months into our relationship, I learned he was stealing money from me. He would forge checks from my checkbook and then steal my bank statements so I wouldn’t understand what was happening. On the day it all came to light,…

From slipped schedules, undisclosed errors, to teamwide frustration and confusion, the lack of effective communication bleeds into all elements of business. The “Effective Communication” training uncovers the seven deadliest sins of business communication and offers actionable solutions. It goes a step further and provides a framework for understanding the nine distinct communication styles that exist: what they are, how to identify them, their distortion filters and how to clearly and effectively communicate based on each person’s communication style.

Corporate Training
Successful teamwork and effective interpersonal communication are foundational for the success of a company. And one of the fastest ways to cultivate these skills is through the development of emotional intelligence in a company’s employees. According to Forbes, 71% of hiring managers value emotional intelligence (EQ) over a high IQ. The Enneagram System of Personality directly addresses the five elements of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self- regulation, internal motivation, empathy and people skills. Called the “GPS of wisdom,” a 2011 study by Enneagram in Business covering 72 companies, including Best Buy, Daimler-Mitsubishi, Toyota and Avon, found that using the Enneagram led to better communication and collaboration, rising sales and increase…

Helper (2) with Investigator (5)
2:5 When In Balance The Helper (2) with the Investigator (5) is a classic example of opposites attracting, the social butterfly with the reserved wallflower. Their differences form not only the initial attraction but the longer-term bond between the two. Together, this couple balances each other.

They are at home in the world of feelings, emotions and social connections. In contrast, Investigator (5) prefer to minimize their connection to others as they seek to preserve what they experience as very limited energy. They…

As a form of yoga and meditation and a foundation for spirituality — practiced properly, Kundalini Yoga’s purpose is to raise the creative potential of a human being…
