Departmental Self Review - UCLA Academic Senate

Addendum IIReport on Exploration of Enneagram ConsultantsStrategic Planning – “Committees”In order to gather information on the possible training opportunities on the use of the Enneagramin the workplace, MarySue Heilemann contacted four consultants between May and July of2005. She interviewed three consultants over the telephone and read and/or reviewed writtenmaterials authored by two of the four consultants. After reviewing all materials and her notesfrom the telephone interviews, she reported my findings to Dr. Linda Sarna on 7/13/05. At thistime, Linda and MarySue had a productive discussion of the results and it was clear that Dr.David Daniels was the top choice of consultants. This was due to his substantial, internationalexperience in Enneagram consultation, his past work as an NIH funded researcher (at the VA),the high quality of his publications, his scholarly style and skill as noted in the interview, hisgrounding as a health care professional and psychiatrist, ongoing resources available from himvia the internet (http://www.authenticenneagram.com/), his reputation as one of the foremostleaders in Enneagram training, and his specific interest in our project here at the UCLA SON.Dr. Daniels currently is an Adjunct Clinical Professor at Stanford University Medical School,Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. In 2003, he retired from 30 years in privatepractice (psychiatry). At present, Dr. Daniels continues his work related to Enneagram teachingand consultation. He served as a founding Director of the International Enneagram Associationand continues in his role as co-director of the Enneagram Professional Training Program locatedin Palo Alto, CA. Since 1988, he has trained hundreds of professionals in the use of theEnneagram in eleven different countries. Dr. Daniels has trained corporate leaders andemployees at various corporations including Boeing and Xerox; health and human serviceprofessionals at multiple sites including the California Youth Authority and Stanford UniversityHospital psychiatric unit. In addition, he regularly teaches medical students and residents on theuse of the Enneagram and he holds sessions at multiple professional conferences specifically forphysicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists.Dr. Daniels is the first author of The Essential Enneagram (Harper/Collins) and co-developedthe DVDs entitled The Enneagram: Nine Paths to a Productive and Fulfilling Life and TheEnneagram in the Workplace.Addendum IIIAddendum III contains Dr. Daniels proposal. In short, the focus of the training will be oncommunication patterns, giving and receiving feedback, personal development, and stressmanagement in relation to personal reactivity and effective communications. This is allaccomplished with the use of the Enneagram as a tool for enhanced understanding of self andothers in the workplace. The training will involve didactic instruction, guided interactiveexercises, setting of personalized goals, and follow up. Ideally, the entire training would occurover a 9 month period (one full and two half days of training, plus brief web based “follow on”between sessions), although we could opt for a 3 month version, as described below.268
