Make individual differences your team’s greatest strength

Learn how to work with different personality types to build a happy, healthy & high-performing team

Teams who work well together outperform those who don’t

To build high-performing teams that bring innovation, creativity and growth, we need to create an environment where healthy communication, conflict-management and risk-taking are the norm. 

The Enneagram is an archetypal personality system that helps leverage the diversity of its team members to create high-trust, high-performing teams. 

Working with the Enneagram helps build a team that is:

  • Emotionally aware, mature, and self-regulating.

  • Other-aware, relationally intelligent, and able to work with different personality types.

  • Collaborative, cohesive and committed not only to the business, but to each other.

Ways we can work together

  • 1/ Develop deep inner awareness and improve your ability to self-regulate and self-manage

    2/ Understand your colleagues and how best to support, interact & communicate with them

    3/ Learn how to leverage your team’s Enneagram style and identify opportunities for growth

  • 1/ Identify how your thought processes, beliefs and habitual patterns are holding you back & what you can do to shift them

    2/ Think through challenges & provoke fresh thinking in areas you’ve become stuck

    3/ Learn tools to manage stress, expand your capacity & improve your quality of life

  • 1/ Gain insight into team culture by understanding people’s true perceptions and lived experiences

    2/Understand the root cause issues behind current team issues & challenges

    3/ Get clarity on next steps based on real team experience and insights

  • 1/ Learn to trust your inner authority and make empowered decisions

    2/ Learn to advocate for yourself and communicate with conviction

    3/ Learn to boldly take up space and step into your true potential as a Bright Light Leader

Hi, I’m Jessica Uys, an Accredited & Trauma-Informed Coach, Enneagram Facilitator & Researcher.

My clients have described me as intuitive, insightful and incisive, and a lot of that is probably thanks to having spent over 15 years in the field of Consumer Research, including a role as Consumer & Market Insight Director at Unilever. It’s here I learned the art of balancing analysis and intuition and where I learned the challenges of the corporate world including stakeholder management, working across different cultures and leading multi-regional teams at a senior level. 

In addition to my Business Science Degree, I’m an ICF-Credentialed Coach and Certified Enneagram Teacher and my work is also influenced by the multitude of modalites I’ve studied over the years, including Breathwork, Eating Psychology, BodyTalk and many more.
