Sinds kort geef ik regelmatig op vrijdag van 13.00 tot 14.00 uur een live online 'EnneaQuickStart’ webinar.

Een snelle en korte kennismaking met dat waar het Enneagram werkelijk om gaat: een methode voor persoonlijke ontwikkeling en transformatieve groei.

Het model is beroemd vanwege de 9 karakterstructuren die het op diepgaand niveau beschrijft. Maar inzicht alleen is nog geen verandering.

In dit webinar ontdek je de belangrijkste basisprincipes van de beoefening van het enneagram. Zo kun je snel en makkelijk ontdekken of dit iets voor jou is.

Naast de kennismaking met de beoefening van het enneagram, maak je wellicht ook op een nieuwe, andere manier kennis met jezelf.

Maar ook met Enneagram Nederland en onze manier van werken, zodat je kunt ervaren of dit bij jou aansluit.

Je zult direct ervaren hoe wij werken: in kleine groepen, met ruimte voor vragen en interactie. Vanuit verwondering en nieuwsgierigheid. Ik speel in op wat er leeft bij de deelnemers en de vragen die er zijn.

Wil je ervaren wat de beoefening van het Enneagram voor jou kan betekenen?

You are warmly invited to join the Enneagram Europe Online Gathering.
It is a gathering in the spirit of the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition.

We meet as practitioners of the inner work. We come together in conversation.
Each voice matters. Everyone is invited to share.

This is not something to consume with your camera off. We meet in presence: seeing one another, hearing one another, connecting as human beings.

Each gathering centres around a theme.
A word. A question. A doorway.

There is nothing to prepare. We work in the moment, with what is present and what arises.

The gathering itself is a practice.

A way of keeping your inner work awake.
A way of staying conscious on the path.
A way of inspiring one another.

Simple. Pure. Powerful.

We meet approximately once every four weeks, on a Wednesday evening from 19:30 to 21:00 CET, Amsterdam time.

Everyone with an interest in, or curiosity about, the Enneagram is welcome. You are equally welcome to join just once, to experience the spirit of the gathering for yourself.

When registering, you may choose from the upcoming Wednesday dates: Sept 2, Oct 7, Nov 4, Dec 9.

Simply sign up, for all dates of your preference through this Calendly link: https://calendly.com/enneagram-europe/online-gathering

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

We look forward to meeting you too.

Warm regards,
Dries & Jeanette
Enneagram Europe

Connection matters: like or share to support the conversation.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫. 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

Swipe left or right. Discover what secretly drives you.

Not a test. Not 180 questions.

What's My Point? is a card game and the easiest and fastest way to discover your type.

Two cards. Three descriptors each.

You choose the one that feels most like you, without overthinking it, and swipe that to the right.

Or, if it is easier for you to see the one that applies to you little or not, swipe that one to the left.

This game is built with the awareness that we are all different and that what works for one, works differently for the other.

You can play it alone or even better with someone else. This second option tends to start a conversation you did not expect.

Why not play it with a colleague during your lunch break?

Give it a go and let me know: what did it bring you?

𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧?

There is no shortage of leadership development programmes.

Frameworks, assessments, workshops, online courses. Many of them are good.

They develop skills, sharpen communication, improve performance.

And yet, leaders who have done all of this still find themselves reacting in the same old ways under pressure.

Still hitting the same ceiling, in themselves and in their teams.

Leadership from the inside out. It is not the kind of leadership built on acquired knowledge and skills.

It is built on character. On who you are, not what you can do.

It begins with a different questions.

Not: what do I need to learn? But: what is actually driving me?

What are the beliefs, the fears, the deep motivations that shape every decision I make before I have even consciously made it?

This is where the Enneagram comes in.

Not as a personality test. Not as a label.

As a precise, deeply human map of nine fundamental character structures. Nine patterns of attention and motivation.

Nine ways of perceiving the world. Perceiving others. Perceiving situations.

What makes the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition different is that it is, at its core, an inside job.

It does not type you from the outside. It is not about behaviour.

It invites you into a living process of self-discovery, through your own story, your own patterns, your own inner experience.

And it works with the whole person. Head, heart and body.

Each centre carries its own wisdom. Each has its own blindness. Real development means learning to access, integrate and balance all three.

The leader grounded in all three does not just think about leadership. They embody it.
They are present in the room. They stay grounded when the pressure is highest. They meet people where they actually are.

This is the work we do in the Personal Leadership Year Programme at Enneagram Europe.

Over the course of a year, you go deeper into your own character structure than any workshop or assessment can take you.

Not just intellectually but experientially, in community with others doing the same work.

The leaders who complete this journey do not just lead better. They lead differently.

From genuine self-knowledge, grounded presence, and the kind of character that people naturally trust and want to follow.

Whether this is new to you or you have been on this path for a while, there is always a next step.

Perhaps now is the time to take another one.

To your growth!

𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧.

Why people hear something different than what you say.

You speak clearly. They feel criticised.
You seek harmony. They sense avoidance.
You offer direction. They experience pressure.

Communication does not fail because of bad intention. It fails because different character structures listen differently.

Before words are evaluated, they are filtered.

There are nine character-informed listening structures that shape how every message is interpreted. I wrote about them.

If you lead, coach, advise, or work with teams, this framework will shift how you communicate. If this interests you, I turned it into an ebook.

I am curious which of the nine you recognise. In yourself. In the people you work with.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮?

You can have the best intentions as a person, as a leader.

And still, when it truly counts, when the pressure is on, when something important is at stake, when the room is watching, something else takes over. Something faster than your intention. Something deeper than your values.

Do you recognise this? Have you ever experienced this? That you might have even questioned yourself: 'where did this come from?'

We have all developed patterns deep within us, from the way we were raised, the family constellation we grew up in, our life experiences. They shape how we think, feel and act, most often without us knowing.

And beneath that, there is an even deeper hidden driver within us: our innate nature. The Greeks referred to it as being carved into us, 'engraved': our character.

Our character is our deepest operating system. The one that runs silently in the background. The one that activates when the stakes are high.

When we are unconscious of it, our character structure may drive us from its lower aspects: pride, greed, lust, the hunger for power, for possession, for recognition.

We see leaders fall on exactly these points every day. And it is no coincidence because leadership positions do not only increase the temptations. The possibilities increase too.

But character has a second meaning.

It is also the quality of someone who knows where they stand and what they stand for.

The kind of strong, pure character we would want in our leaders and in ourselves. Someone who has their spine straight not because it is easy, but because they have done the inner work to get there.

This is why practising the Via Negativa is not optional in leadership development. It is the path of purifying yourself from within so that you can lead from higher values, and hold your ground when the challenges demand it.

How can you lead others if you cannot lead yourself?

Character-aware leadership starts here. Not with knowing others. With knowing yourself at the level where it is no longer comfortable.

At the Summer School Retreat, Jeanette opens with the following session on the Friday morning:

𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫? 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠?

Leadership is hot. In training programmes, in organisational development, in boardrooms and on LinkedIn.

And yet, quietly, most people do not really think of themselves as a leader. Do you?

Here is what Islam Abokandil has observed in over fourteen years of working with leaders across the Middle East and Europe: most people lead more than they realise. A team, a project, a family, a conversation.

Leadership is not a title. It is what happens between people.

Islam knows this from the inside. Born in Egypt, he spent years in Canada before returning home with a question that would not leave him alone: why do intelligent, capable, well-intentioned people keep producing the same results, in different contexts, with different people, year after year?

The answer, he discovered, was not a skill gap. It was a loop.

As the founder of Transcend, one of the most respected human development companies in the Middle-East region, Islam has worked with multinationals and organisations whose people are technically excellent, relationally intelligent, and still somehow circling the same problems.

A loop is not a bad habit. It is a structural pattern driven by a deeper fixation, a belief about yourself, others and what leadership requires of you. Until that fixation is seen clearly, the loop continues regardless of skill, intention or self-awareness.

Islam works with the three energies the Enneagram reveals in the Law of Three: active, receptive and reconciling. Most leaders are dominated by one.

That imbalance is precisely what keeps the loop in place. His work makes the pattern visible, traces it to its root, and opens the question: what becomes available when the loop loosens its grip?

This is not coaching. This is inner work at the level where leadership actually lives.

At the Summer School Retreat, Islam joins us on the Saturday morning.

Breaking the Loop · Working with the Law of Three.

Islam Abokandil · Type 1 Self-Pres · Egypt · founder of Transcend · IEA-accredited Enneagram teacher · leadership consultant for multinationals across the Middle East and Europe · trained in the Narrative Tradition.

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭.

Before you formed an opinion or had an emotional reaction, your body had already responded. Before you decided whether to speak or stay silent, something deeper had already been chosen. What we try to understand cognitively is already present in our body as information. Before words. Before type.

And yet most personal development or leadership development never goes there.

We simply do not pay attention to the workings of our instincts.

Maura Amelia Bonanno has spent thirty years at exactly that intersection.

As a Somatic Movement educator she learned how instincts live in the body.

And as an Enneagram teacher, trained in multiple traditions over 25 years, she brought all of that together into Enneagramma Integrale®, an approach that awakens, engages, and harmonises the three Centers.

Her premise is simple and radical: theoretical self-knowledge is not enough. Emotional awareness is not enough. The Enneagram is a map. The body is the territory.

At the Summer School Retreat, Maura brings this to the Saturday afternoon.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 · 𝘉𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵. 𝘉𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦.

The three instincts live below thought, below type, below everything you have learned about yourself. Cells relate to one another before the development of the nervous system. Maura calls it the cellular intelligence of the instinctive centre. You carry it with you everywhere. It responds before you do.

Her session moves from a structured idea of leadership to an organically flowing experience of personal leadership within the three instincts. What does your personal leadership feel like when your instincts are natural? What does it feel like when they are distorted? Most people have studied these instincts for years. Few have actually met them in the body. That is what this session is for.

𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲. 𝐇𝐨𝐰?

Two conductors. Same orchestra. Same piece. Completely different result.

The notes were not the variable. The person was.

An orchestra does not follow a baton. It follows the person holding it. A hundred musicians feel that before a single note is played. And when the conductor carries inner disharmony, the musicians feel that too, before the first downbeat.

That is not a metaphor for leadership. That is leadership.

Martin Salzwedel spent years on both sides of that dynamic. As a professional cellist, solo cellist in the RIAS Youth Orchestra in Berlin, performing with the Radio Sinfonie Orchester Berlin, recording for TV, radio and film across Europe, he felt from the inside what it does to a musician when a conductor truly leads from within.

And what it does when they do not.

Then he left music entirely. Eight years as PR Director in the US. Six years in marketing and sales leadership in Europe. Since 1995, founder of CCI Communications Consulting International, three decades coaching executives across Europe, North and South America, India, China and Japan.

That last question never left him: what actually makes people follow someone?

When he trained with Helen Palmer in the Narrative Tradition, she touched a string in him that had been silent for years. He picked up his cello again.

The cello rests against the body while you play it. Its vibrations travel directly into the chest. Into the heart.

Leadership works exactly the same way. Not through the head. Through resonance. Through the heart. That invisible quality that makes people want to move for a leader.

What emerged is Leadership by Music, a programme through which Martin has trained captains of industry across the globe.

For Martin, the Enneagram is not a system of labels but of driving energies. Form follows function. Function follows energy.

Participants first deepen their awareness of their own driving energy, then they step in front of a live orchestra as conductor. You cannot fake it in front of a hundred musicians.

The orchestra resonates with exactly what the conductor radiates, nothing more, nothing less. Nine energies, nine very different qualities of presence. You feel the difference in the room the moment it happens.

At the Summer School Retreat Martin takes us with him in this experience on the Friday evening, after a full afternoon of embodied leadership work with Peter O'Hanrahan.

Two very different doors, the body and the heart, into the same inner territory.

Leadership by Music · Nine energies. One Harmony.
