This day-long seminar will instruct participants in using the Enneagram system to 
work more effectively with specific personality types. Participants will learn about the 
nine unique personality types and develop a deeper understanding of how individuals 
of each type differ in their responses to conflict. This knowledge can aid mediators 
and others working with people in conflict to successfully guide the process of 
dispute resolution. The seminar will also teach participants interventions to help 
parties in conflict relax defensive stances.

The Enneagram is an ancient and widely used system of mapping perception and 
behavior. It characterizes people into nine unique personality types. Developing the 
skills to recognize and constructively interact with the different lenses through which
people perceive their reality gives us the opportunity to discover the core of what lies 
underneath their disputes, and helps us to better guide the process of conflict 
resolution. Understanding the unique reactions to conflict via the Enneagram also 
facilitates empathy, which helps to build more effective communication skills when 
dealing with each personality type.
