“I have had Brad facilitate two of the forums that I have been and am part of. On both occasions, we have received tremendous value from him. The way he explains the Enneagram to us and helps us relate it to both the personal and business aspects of our lives, has made us grow as individuals and as a group. I would highly recommend having Brad come in to facilitate your forum.”
“Brad’s training was a gift to my company and my business forum that has paid endless dividends. Understanding people’s underlying motivations through the Enneagram has made me a much better team builder and manager. I rely on it all the time.”

Our group started the weekend knowing very little about one another and by the end diving deep into our personal goals, blind spots and creating accountable action steps. The amount of Forum growth that usually takes over a year was accomplished in one weekend”
