Objectives: The primary objective of this workshop is to enable participants to learn about the nine Enneagram personality types in an engaging and enjoyable fashion. Once participants are familiar with the Enneagram model and are able to look at their own style in different contexts (e.g., work, leadership and relationships), they can then develop a plan to leverage the strengths and address potential area(s) of improvement inherent in their personality type.

Executive Summary: As a result of our inherited nature and our childhood experiences, we all develop a limited view, a "lens" through which we perceive and experience the world. This lens, in essence, informs and reflects our personality type. Enneagram is one of the most powerful and ancient personality models still in use today. In the "What Hat(s) do you Wear?" workshop, you will be introduced to the nine distinct Enneagram personality types in an interactive, fun and engaging way. Selecting from a collection of unique "personality hats" or creating your very own, will bring you face to face with some or all of the following:

       The Perfectionist
"I may have faults, but being wrong is not one of them."- Jimmy Hoffa.

The Giver
            ThePerformer
                         The Artist
                                   The Observer
                                            "You can observe a lot just by watching." -Yogi Berra

The Skeptical Loyalist
             The Adventurer
                         The Asserter
                                     The Peacemaker:
"A lion chased me up a tree,and I greatly enjoyed the view from the top."-Confucius

This workshop is equally productive for men, women, artistic types and assertive CEOs - as long as you are willing to discover, play and have fun!

• Forum: Enhancing forum communication, cohesiveness and overall forum spirit, by enabling members to understand both their similarities and their differences as well as to realize the strengths and liabilities they bring to forum.
• (You may also wind up with a new hat!)
