PERSONALITIES AT WORK: Communication, Collaboration, and Influence
This one-day program equips organizations to improve communication and collaboration,
reduce conflict, and increase appreciation for diversity by exploring the nine personality
types found in the workplace.
Part One: The Nine Personality Types During the first phase of the program, participants learn
about their personality type through the combination of a written assessment, small-group
exercises, and an introduction to the Enneagram model of personality types. This session
focuses on the motivations and typical behaviors of each personality type, along with topics
such as what each type likes and dislikes in others, how they approach problem solving,
how they frustrate other people, etc. Participants also learn about typical performance
roadblocks for their personality type and learn strategies for overcoming them.
Part Two: Improving Relationships The second part of the program focuses on applying the
understanding of the personality types to interactions with others. Blind spots and defensive
routines of each personality type and their impact on work relationships are identified, and
simple exercises for overcoming these problems are conducted. Participants finish the
program armed with techniques for effectively communicating to the nine personality types
and guidelines for building collaboration among team members.
Personalities at Work is based on the ground-breaking book, “From Awareness to Action:
The Enneagram, Emotional Intelligence and Change” by Robert Tallon and Mario Sikora and
has been used by Motorola’s Connected Home Sector to replace the MBTI (Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator) in its “Leadership Essentials” executive-development program. This program
is ideal for: Any group that wants to increase its ability to work and communicate together
effectively.
Personalities at Work for Leaders
This version of Personalities at Work is designed to meet the specific needs of leaders in an
organization. It enables leaders to make the most of their natural leadership strengths, modify
ineffective patterns, and create a structure for career-long leadership development.
Personalities at Work for Sales
Sales effectiveness is rooted in strong relationships. Strong relationships are built upon
rapport and understanding of the customer. This program gives sales professionals the
ability to overcome roadblocks to their performance and develop the interpersonal
understanding that leads to rapport.
Awareness to Action Teams
Ideally, teams are a collection of like-minded individuals united toward a common goal.
Realistically, most “teams” are a collection of individuals with competing commitments that
undermine their ability to achieve their stated goal. This program approaches teambuilding
from two perspectives: the personalities involved and the objectives at hand. After going
through the Awareness to Action Teams program, your team will:
• Be able to leverage the diversity of personality style rather than be stymied by it,
• Set realistic and achievable team goals, and
• Identify and resolve the competing commitments that undermine effective team work.
Awareness to Action Coaching(TM): Skills for Managers
This program is ideal for Human Resource and Organizational Development professionals or
managers who would like to improve their coaching skills. Awareness to Action Coaching(TM)
covers the fundamentals of the enneagram and emotional intelligence and shows the coach
how to help each type develop self-awareness, identify the gaps between current
performance and expected performance and the roadblocks that make those gaps difficult to
bridge, and implement effective action plans. The program also includes topics such as
collecting and delivering effective 360-degree feedback, probing and listening skills, and
follow up methods.
CUSTOMIZED PROGRAMS:
Sometimes teams need customized processes to address specific business concerns—
strategic planning, conflict management, goal setting, etc. Mario Sikora & Company can work
with you to design and deliver a program that meets your specific needs.
