Your team took the Enneagram — or is about to. The numbers landed, the Eight on the team was not surprised to be an Eight, and for a week everyone had a word for why the quietest person in planning is the one who blows up in June. And by the Monday after, the same two people were still reading each other wrong. Not because the Enneagram is wrong — because knowing a number was never the same thing as knowing what a person is protecting when they push back.
An Enneagram team workshop is worth doing once. It's worth paying for only if the types still show up in how people disagree, how they handle a bad week, and how managers lead — a quarter later.
So we built the workshop that doesn't end. A coach that knows what drives every person on your team — meet it —
Nine types read as what each person is protecting — control, backup, approval, peace — the pairs that misread each other named out loud, and the conversations every team needs a facilitator to have.
Before the next 1:1, each manager gets the read on the human in front of them — what they need to hear to trust the conversation, how they look under pressure, and the pushback that shuts them down.
Install it, and the map stops being a memory: conflict read before it's personal, a bad week read as a bad week, a coach at every manager's side — and the coach who ran your workshop still at the table.
No — if your team already has results, we build on them. If not, everyone takes it as pre-work, about fifteen minutes each, before the workshop day.
It can be, badly run. This day stays on how each person works — what they're protecting, how they handle pressure, what they need to hear to trust a conversation — and nobody shares anything they don't want to or gets explained to the room.
A kickoff conversation with you, then a half-day or full day with the team. The right format depends on team size and what you're solving — that's what the intro call settles.
Yes. Onsite in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area, virtual anywhere — the team map, the pressure read, and the conflict conversations work in either room.
That's the point of this one. Your team map lives on in GrayMatter — a coach that knows how every person is built and briefs managers before conversations that matter — and the coach who ran your workshop stays in the rhythm.
$7,500 for a full day, $4,000 for a half day — including three months of GrayMatter for the whole team and two coaching sessions with the team's manager, teams up to 16. The full install is $25,000 for the first year, all-in.
