WHY PEOPLE LOVE LEARNING WITH ROBERT HOLDEN
New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Extreme Self-Care
Discovering the Enneagram has literally changed my life and I have Robert Holden to thank for that. His knowledge and experience with this model of growth is vast and it’s given me a powerful context for my life. When you take the time to learn about the nine points and your own personal number, you’ll uncover a clear path of development that will lead you to your most authentic and fulfilling life!
From the foreword to Higher Purpose
Robert has been given a profound gift in this life. He has an extraordinary ability to crack people open to the power and the purpose that’s already within them.
Author of You Can Heal Your Life
Robert Holden is my friend, teacher, and co-author of our book Life Loves You. I am so happy to know Robert and his family. I recommend his work wholeheartedly.
New York Times bestselling author of Trust Your Vibes
Studying the Enneagram has been one of the greatest tools for understanding myself and my fellow humans. Whether you are new to the Enneagram or had serious training in the past, allow yourself the gift of learning the Enneagram with Robert.
Co-author of Wisdom of the Enneagram
Robert Holden has a deep and thorough understanding of the Enneagram and the psychological patterns of nine types. But more importantly, he well understands the deeper dimensions of the Enneagram work as well as its true purpose—teaching us all to live lives of greater compassion, wisdom, and graciousness. Further, I know him to live from these truths on a daily basis. You would be very well-served to experience his masterful work.
From the foreword to Loveability
You feel loved in his [Robert’s] presence; he has clearly done the inner work of moving past his own defenses, making space in his heart for someone else’s love to enter. And when he does that—and when any of us do that—miracles happen.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Coach the Person, Not Just the Pattern
Two clients can bring you the same challenge and need something very different from you.
A direct question may help one client open up and cause another to shut down. A clear plan may energize one person and overwhelm someone else.
The Enneagram helps you look beneath surface behavior to the motivations, fears, strengths, and protective patterns shaping a client's experience. That understanding gives you more ways to meet the person in front of you.
So, you become the coach who knows how to adapt, while bringing a practical new capability into the work you already do.
Your training should lead somewhere practical. After you successfully complete the certification, you will receive 100 My Enneagram Type Assessments to use with current and prospective clients.
These assessments give you a concrete starting point for Enneagram-informed conversations. Use them to:

Your learning progression
Explore the Enneagram from the foundations through each of the nine Types, with practical coaching tools you can use throughout your work.

Encouragement can help you move around a difficult truth.
Challenge can arrive before enough trust has been built.
Empathy can become overhelping.

Perhaps you help people feel safe very quickly. Perhaps you can see possibility where a client sees only a dead end. You may bring warmth, clarity, encouragement, momentum, challenge, or the question that goes straight to the heart of the matter.
This is part of your Coaching Advantage. And sometimes, the gift you rely on most can also become the response you reach for too quickly.
Analysis can create distance.
Action can move faster than the client is ready to move.

THE GIFT YOU BRING
DEEPER INSIGHTS. BRIGHTER OUTCOMES
The Enneagram helps you appreciate both the gift and the gap. As you become more aware of your own patterns, you gain the freedom to ask: What does this client need from me now?

Look beneath a behavior without assuming you already know what it means.
Ask questions that help clients discover their patterns for themselves.
Adapt your coaching to different ways of relating, deciding, learning, and creating change.
Help clients feel deeply seen without making them feel labeled or diagnosed.
Invite clients to loosen their identification with a pattern without creating shame.
Use Enneagram-informed exercises within the scope of your existing professional work.
Help clients move beyond explanation and into greater choice, practice, and personal responsibility.
