The aim of the workshop

The aim of this workshop is to introduce some of the most essential elements of our personality. You will learn more about the live-force energy which is behind each type in the Enneagram. You will learn about the inner and outer dynamics of our personality, which are triggered when we are in close relationships and you will learn more about some fundamental emotional and cognitive structures of the types.

The terms we will be exploring are Instincts, Object Relations, Basic Assumptions and Basic Values and you will map them to different part of the four phase (Insight, Accept, Practice and Integrate) in the development plan. After the workshop you will have been introduced to very powerful insights (and probably also new ways of viewing the types of the Enneagram), a map for a Personal Development Plan and you will have a foundation for taking up new practices your self and for your clients.

About the teacher

For over 20 years, Flemming has integrated different disciplines like psychology, leadership, teamwork, and communication with life purpose, personal growth, life-quality, and the meaningful life. He has authored 15 books, with eight oriented to integrating the Enneagram into practical use. He has been a popular speaker at IEA Conferences since 2004, presenting on leadership, teamwork, presence and mindfulness, and, more recently, the integration of integral theory with the Enneagram. Flemming is also co-founder of IEA Denmark and an active member of the board for many years.

Flemming’s company, THINK ABOUT IT, celebrated the 17th anniversary of being the Enneagram Institute of Denmark and responsible for training more than 50,000 students over the last decades. Flemming’s highly-precise Enneagram test, used by more than 130,000 people, is also a standard inside a number of large corporations in Denmark, in support of employee recruitment, retention, and development.

Since 1996, one of his biggest contributions to the Enneagram community is the extensive use of the Enneagram in leadership-training and team-development in business and public sector organizations. 

Flemming is a fully-certified teacher through The Enneagram Institute and is a certified Integral Development Coach through New Ventures West, a leading coach training school. Flemming has also studied at the University of Notre Dame’s “Executive Integral Leadership” program and the Strozzi Institute’s “School of Embodied Leadership.” 

Flemming has a dedication to explore the practical ways of developing personal excellence, with an increasing emphasis on tailoring the right practices to develop specific new competencies. As a presenter he uses his Danish humor while challenging everyone to be real. He helps clients ask the big questions of “Why?”  and facilitates processes for finding answers to these questions that ring true in the heart.

Foreword by Russ Hudson

(Foreword to Flemming's new book "The Enneagram in Relationships")

Flemming Christensen has done a great service in making this material (originally developed by Don Riso and Russ Hudson) accessible to lay readers and looked more extensively at some of the issues that arise from these patterns in our adult relationships. He has presented the material in a systematic way that will help zero in on persistent relationship challenges and suggest solutions for resolving many of the recurrent misunderstanding that arise as we seek to connect with other human beings.

Indeed, rather than go into the specific mechanics of this potentially challenging psychological topic, Flemming explains in clear language the dynamics between each possible combination of Enneagram types. He looks at romantic relationships of course, but also describes other kinds of important relationship—all of which are subject to the same interactions of object relations patterns. Wisely, he does not tell us which combinations are “good” or “bad.” He focuses on the likely issues and possibilities that can arise in any given relationship. In doing so, he has created a clear and concise manual for navigating the challenges of interpersonal dynamics. I suspect that once you have grasped the ideas he is presenting here, you will return to this book many times for guidance in your dealings with other human beings. So take your time, and explore the rich world of relationship with the powerful lens of the Enneagram.
