Build Your Own Program
There is no one-size-fits-all all team training program, especially when that program is all about identifying and celebrating the unique personalities and perspectives of each member on the team.
That's why with the ideas and recommendations of the Enneagram MBA faculty, you'll co-create a program that matches your goals and unique challenges while also working with your specific team needs.
The Process Overview
1 - Identify your program goals and define success with your dedicated Academy guide.
2 - Select your curriculum topics to align with those goals (initial ideas and suggestions are to the right 👉 ).
3 - Decide on your program plan, budget, & who will participate.
4 - Schedule your full-day kick-off and 1/2-day program finale onsite workshops.
5 - Work with the Enneagram MBA team to schedule future logistics and onboard participating team members.

What to Expect Inside
6-Month Program
It's recommended that each team in the Program host an in-person kick-off workshop to build excitement, get buy-in, and create a readiness to dive into the curriculum as well as a program finale onsite. At the end of the program having submitted all required assignments, each member of the team will receive a Certification of Completion.
Monthly Lessons
New topics covering the Enneagram and ways to use it at work - both with individual professional and personal growth and with your work relationships - will be shared in various ways including live group calls and on-demand audio and video lessons. Depending on your topics of interest below, we'll work together to customize a program curriculum.
Application Exercises
This part is important. You already know there is no shortage of information out there about getting along better at work. It's the implementation part that's often missing. You and your team will have regular funwork opportunities to turn the Enneagram insight into useful action.
Group Discussions
Your team will meet and learn about and from one another throughout the program. Time and time again, students say that sharing with their co-workers is one of their favorite and most memorable parts of their experience.
Individual Attention
Each teammate will have an opportunity to participate in an Enneagram Know Your Number session, a simple 360-Review assessment process, and a results review with an Enneagram MBA Certified Coach

Why the Enneagram
The Enneagram (pronounced "ANY-uh-gram") is a model for identifying nine distinct patterns of habitual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The points represent a specific personality strategy and the lines represent the interrelationship of those strategies.
More than identifying only strengths or surface-level behaviors, it gives surprisingly accurate and useful insights into the stories we're telling ourselves, the root motives behind behaviors, and charts a specific path for each type for growth and performance improvement..
At Enneagram MBA we use the Awareness to Action methodology. It's a simple but extremely effective model for growth that tailored for the business world.
Companies that have already brought Enneagram MBA to their teams:
"Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.”

A Chess Approach to Team-Building
In his Harvard Business Review article, "What Great Managers Do," author Marc Buckingham says that average managers play checkers, while great managers play chess.
The difference?
In checkers, all the pieces are the same and move in the same way; they are interchangeable.
Sure, you need to plan and coordinate their movements, but they all move at the same pace, on parallel paths.
In chess, each type of piece moves in a different way, and you can’t play if you don’t know how each piece moves. More important, you won’t win if you don’t think carefully about how you move the pieces.
The intention of Dream Team Academy™ is to use the Enneagram to help you and your team better understand each other and their unique strengths and preferences.
