The Enneagram is a helpful tool in organizations.
The Enneagram helps people intentionally relate to each other by understanding what motivates themselves and others. Common problems caused by miscommunications, hurt feelings, and other misunderstandings often result from people assuming that others see, or should see, the world the way they do. The Enneagram puts organizational members on the fast track to improving their working relationships. With knowledge of the Enneagram, one can respond and interact in a manner that results in deeper understanding, better communication, and a more skillful use of energy toward achieving mutual goals. With this common understanding and vocabulary among members, groups and organizations can be positively transformed.

Work with Portland's Enneagram Professional
Dale Rhodes has extensive nonprofit management experience: as a direct service coordinator for the homeless and mentally ill with Thresholds Bridge in Chicago, as Director of Group Services for the Chicago GLBT Center Horizons, as Director of the Illinois AIDS Hotline in Chicago, as a MetroCrisis/ProtoCall Account Manager in Portland, and as the Ryan White Federal Care Act Council Staff for the Multnomah County Commissioner; all of which support his work as a seasoned consultant and trainer.
Since 2002, Dale has been providing training and ongoing community experiences with the Enneagram. Enneagram Portland is named in formal global partnership with Enneagram Worldwide, the school founded by authors Helen Palmer and David Daniels, MD. Dale has been the counselor on duty at the Enneagram Professional Training Program (EPTP) and he is currently a staff mentor for candidates seeking professional certification. Dale has also completed certification as an Enneagram trainer through the Enneagram Spectrum Training and Certification program with author Jerry Wagner, Ph.D from Loyola University Chicago. He has been fortunate to study in person with a wide variety of accomplished Enneagram teachers, providing the basis for an interdisciplinary approach to exploring the Nine Points of View.
A Master of Science in Nonprofit Administration and a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies means that he can convey his message to just about anyone. Dale can provide a training for your organization or can be a subcontractor who contributes to a training or a consulting project that you already manage. Bring the Enneagram into your culture!
Thanks for bringing your knowledge and wisdom to camp with us. For many, your presentation was the highlight of the weekend and for all it was a chance to go inside and explore some of ourselves.
-David Kahl, CEO and Chief Storyteller at Ergo Depot
We hired Dale to start our Leadership Program. Best program ever on using personal behavioral knowledge to grow/lead a team!! First time I have ever had participants ask for more time with a speaker on this topic. Outstanding knowledge and applicability to leadership in all types of organizations.
