You're certified. You know the 9 types like the back of your hand. But knowing the Enneagram and running a room full of people who've never heard of it - or who might be very skeptical of it - are two completely different skill sets. This limited series is for Enneagram coaches ready to move from one-on-one work to team workshops, or who are already doing both and want to sharpen their facilitation skills. Inside these intentionally curated episodes, you'll hear what actually happens in the room: how to structure a session that fits the time you're given, how to think about pricing, what to do when the energy dies or a conversation goes sideways, how to read nine different types reacting to the same content in real time, and how to leave a client wanting you back.

    11. The Best Enneagram Certification for the Workplace? Why I Recommend Awareness to Action

    If you want to bring the Enneagram into workplace teams, what kind of training or certification should you look for? In this bonus episode of Bringing the Enneagram to Groups, you'll hear why Awareness to Action has become the Enneagram framework she recommends for coaches, facilitators, HR professionals, and leaders who want to use the Enneagram inside organizations. After completing Levels 1, 2, and 3 plus Awareness to Action's Train-the-Trainer program, you'll hear about what made her go all-in on the framework at Enneagram MBA, from its workplace-tested approach and Instinctual Biases to its simplicity, credibility, and ongoing support for practitioners.  You'll also hear who this certification is best suited for, who may want to explore a different approach, and how the Enneagram MBA Commercial License Kit can help bridge the gap between learning the Enneagram and actually building a workshop around it.  Special offer: If you register for Awareness to Action Level 1, use code ATA300 to save $300 on the Enneagram MBA DIY Workshop Kit Commercial License. ***This episode is not sponsored by Awareness to Action, and Sarah does not currently receive an affiliate commission for recommending the certification.*** Sign up for Awareness to Action's September 21, 2026 Cohort: https://www.ataondemand.com/offers/9y3kLBfp/checkout Missed the next cohort?

    12. Can You Really Make Six Figures as an Enneagram Facilitator? Let's Do the Math.

    Short answer: Yes. You absolutely can. But making six figures and having a six-figure business are two very different things. In this episode, you'll get the breakdown of some of the real math behind a $100K Enneagram business...from operating expenses and taxes to the number of workshops you may actually need to sell. You'll also hear why knowing the Enneagram, facilitating it well, and building a business around that work are three different skill sets. This isn't meant to discourage you from building a profitable Enneagram business. It's meant to help you build one with your eyes open, realistic numbers, and a better plan. Plus, a word of caution about income claims from certification and coaching programs, and why a good certification should make you a better practitioner, not promise you a particular financial outcome. You Still Have to Build the Business...but you don't have to build the workshop from scratch.

In this episode: my real workshop numbers: what I charge by format, and why sharing actual figures beats vague "it depends" adviceHow price scales (and doesn't scale linearly) across 2-hour, half-day, and full-day sessions, plus follow-up/office-hours pricingGroup size vs. company size, two different factors that affect what you chargeIndustry benchmarks to use as a loose reference point, not a hard ruleTwo ways to handle travel: a flat travel fee built into your quote vs. invoicing actual expenses afterwardWhat to consider if you're just starting out; pricing for practice and testimonials without underpricing yourself long-termKey questions to ask yourself: What do you need to make? What's the actual impact of your workshop?

You've prepped, you've planned, and now you're in the room.  In this episode, we're talking about what makes a workshop successful once it's underway: keeping content simple, building in real conversation, using a group map effectively, and managing the trickiest part of all (at least for me!)...time.
