The Enneagram Finds You with Ginger Lapid-Bogda

When Ginger first hopped into a five-day class on the Enneagram in the '90s, she accidentally enrolled in the advanced group. But she didn’t let jumping in over her head stop her curiosity. Before those five days were over she had a vision from a blimp that she had to do this. 

Her website The Enneagram in Business is an ever-expanding trove of information for personal and professional applications. She offers certification trainings in the Enneagram, a wide-ranging database of resources, and has links to her nine books that she’s been publishing on the Enneagram and business for nearly 20 years now.

She has plenty to share with us, but one of my biggest curiosities was how she uses it in professional and business contexts.

Times Stamps:

2:18--The Enneagram finds us

7:10--How Ginger began to think about taking the Enneagram to organizations

11:33--For Ginger, the Enneagram is about the whole person and everyone--including in the workplace--can grow from the insights it leads to, the only question is about whether or not people are willing to share in those contexts

18:03--Ginger has a panic attack when her first book comes out

23:46--The Enneagram can help you work through team issues much faster than without it

34:25--How Ginger and her team on the EIBN got nearly 800 respondents from around the world in 2022 for how the Enneagram has worked in organizations around the world
