The Culturally Intelligent Enneagram (3+ hours)

The Enneagram refers to the nine personality types, with each representing a worldview that reflects the way people feel, think, and act in relation to themselves, others, and their environments. It offers insight into core personality traits, as it delves deeper into the core motivations, stress points, triggers, and security points, which often lie in the unconscious layers of our personality structure. Ultimately, by recognizing stress and engaging security, people can increase their EI. Thus, as they interact with people across cultures, they increase CI. Organizations use it to increase empathy in leadership so they can demonstrate compassion. This 3-hour, interactive and research-based training guides participants in understanding their Enneagram type and learning to more responsively interact with their colleagues, whether during productive or challenging situations. CITC uses the Integrative Enneagram assessment (iEQ9). Meet your Enneagram facilitators, Renee, Alene, and Shawn. Learn more here

Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI)

Engaging the IDI process allows individuals to understand their mindsets as it relates to their levels of comfort with interacting across cultural differences. Should an individual (or group) desire, they can increase their levels of Cultural Intelligence (CI) to help
them understand, and more effectively interact, across cultures. They do so by understanding where they are on the Intercultural Development Continuum (IDC) and seeking to move toward the next orientation/mindset. Your group and individual results
remain confidential and will not be shared. Learn more here
