Ancient Wisdom for Modern Leaders: Becoming Your Best Self as a Leader

The No. 1 predictor of leadership success is healthy self-awareness. Lack of knowing yourself causes stress, inefficiency, and ineffective work. Self-aware leaders have more engaged teams, are promoted more, and run more profitable companies. And listen — they’re just happier in general. Learn how to transform your leadership with self-awareness and the powerful tool of the Enneagram.

The $668 Billion Opportunity: Conflict Resolution

Your success as a leader will rise and fall with your ability to manage conflict. Conflict avoided creates unhealthy and unproductive teams; conflict mismanaged often strikes more harm than good. And mismanaged conflict costs US businesses $668 billion a year (Yes. Billion.)

Learn how you show up in conflict based on your Enneagram type, skills you need to resolve conflict, and how to equip yourself to create peace. From a recovering conflict avoider who used to moonwalk out of hard conversations, come learn with humor and stories how conflict can be your way to an engaged and flourishing team. (The real-life application of Jenn’s TEDx talk)

Lead for the Long-Term: Managing Stress and Stopping Burnout

Without caring for your inner world, you will fail as a leader. Because unless you have become a robot, you are a whole person. When wholeness is cracked, broken, or even shattered, leaders burn out themselves and their teams. And that costs everyone time and money. Get your guide to cultivating wholeness and wholeheartedness with simple practices that transform a dry desert of ineffective motions to a flourishing success. If you are interested in sustainable growth as a leader, soul care is what you need.

Ennea-What? The Personality Wisdom to Transform Your Life

The Enneagram is a powerful personality framework that digs deeper. It shows us the motivations behind our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. And those motivations show up in every meeting, every slack message, and every conversation. Learn the Enneagram framework, discover your core type, and begin the journey toward your best, truest, and most effective self.

Build a Culture Where People Want to Stay: Personal Values and Culture to Team Values and Culture

Who do you agree with 100% of the time? Likely...no one. And yet, we come together to create amazing work in teams. We each bring personal values and personal culture to the team table. How to grow more aware of your personal culture and work through how to create a team culture that thrives.

Rewrite Your Self-Doubt Soundtrack: Connected Leadership and Flourishing Teams

The story you live is only as good as the one you tell yourself. Leadership begins with knowing it. The story goes by many names: your psyche, your personality, your ego. The narrative drives your every feeling, decision, and action — and it can keep you disconnected and disengaged. Not only you, each member of your team too.

Discover how to reliably identify the stories you tell yourself and how to create a new story to cultivate a vibrant and flourishing team.

  • I have had the honor of working with Jenn Whitmer for a number of years. Because of her unique ability to study and understand how to connect different types of people, I've selected her for a number of speaking engagements.

  • Jenn was a speaker in my business coaching program and absolutely blew it out of the park. She was so incredible and impactful for my students in helping them integrate the Enneagram with their business and truly understand their clients from a different perspective. Jenn was also a guest on my podcast and really taught the Enneagram in a way that was simple, understandable, and highly actionable. When this information is used powerfully it can truly change your life, and Jenn teaches it in a way that's not just "good to know" but easily applied! I couldn't recommend her more!
