January 6, 2023

A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE ENNEAGRAM: WHAT MAKES YOU SHINE IN YOUR ROLE AS PRESIDENTIAL SPOUSE/PARTNER?

The Enneagram is a popular tool for uncovering our gifts and understanding our deeper motivations. In this two-hour interactive presentation, explore nine ways of interacting with others and how you can be more effective and fulfilled in your unique role. With humor, clarity, and appreciation, embark on a journey of self-discovery, freedom, and choice.

Note: Registered participants for the Presidential Spouses and Partners Program will be offered the opportunity to determine their Enneagram Type in advance. Those desiring a more comprehensive view of the Enneagram prior to the Institute are encouraged to read Deep Living with the Enneagram.
