Jerry Wagner and Jim Armstrong
Adjusting Our Self Boundaries to Optimize Working
Relationships
Track: Business Intermediate and Advanced Students
The world of work is comprised of interpersonal relationships operating on many
different levels of complexity and meaning. These relationships occur in different
arenas as well, from intra-organizational to inter-organizational communities and
networks. Through leadership development and coaching, these relationships are
harnessed to accomplish various business-related objectives, such as
communicating and providing effective feedback, managing conflict, crafting high
performance teams, and networking for creating coalitions. Building on the valuesbased
self-concept approach in Part I, this workshop considers the self-boundaries
that define the extent of our self-concept. We will learn NLP techniques to discover
and alter our external and internal boundaries. In doing so we acquire greater
freedom and choice based on how we represent these boundaries in our minds.
And we will learn how to adjust these representations to expand our repertoire of
responses and behavior within our Enneagram style. Through instruction,
experiential exercises, and practice, participants will polish their boundary skills to
enhance their leadership and coaching presence to engage, connect, and
collaborate with co-workers in healthy and respectful ways.

Emotional Intelligence and the
Enneagram: Brains, Behavior, and Beyond
Track: Business All Students
The Enneagram offers powerful pathways for developing
Emotional Intelligence (EQ), and EQ work is a useful
entry point for introducing the Enneagram to corporate
audiences. Together we will explore the link between the
Enneagram and Emotional Intelligence from three
perspectives.
• “Brains”: How recent findings in neuroscience help
explain the nature of emotional reactions and provide
insights into strategies for deepening self-awareness and
interrupting troubling patterns
• “Behavior”: How the Enneagram can be used to help us develop the specific
intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies that fuel leadership success, such
as self-awareness, adaptability, transparency, empathy, conflict management,
and relationship building.
• “Beyond”: How the Enneagram supports us in being aligned with life’s
intelligence, and how cultivating presence enables us to walk our personal and
professional paths more gracefully.
Join Appel and Rollin and become familiar with the essentials of Emotional
Intelligence and the links between EQ and the Enneagram. This session will
integrate presentation with personal inquiry, exercises, and practices that leverage
an understanding of the Enneagram in developing EQ in ourselves and others.
Participants are welcome from any level of Enneagram expertise, although the
program will assume basic familiarity with points and patterns.
