The Harmonic Triad can help us know our “language” around conflict resolution and speak the “language” of the other styles and has the capacity to help us transform our conflicts into deep understanding
“The Harmonic Groups tell us how we cope with conflict and difficulty: how we respond when we do not get what we want. … They reveal the fundamental way that our personality defends against loss and disappointment.” – The Wisdom of the Enneagram by Riso & Hudson
Harmonic Groups connect numbers 9, 2, and 7 - the “Positive Outlook” group; numbers 1, 3, and 5 - the “Competency” group; and numbers 4, 6, and 8 - the “Reactive” group.
In this workshop we will explore each of these harmonic groups in the following ways:
• How does knowing your harmonic group impact your handling conflict in personal and professional relationships?
• What are the strengths and the blind spots for your harmonic group?
• Reflections on bringing balance to your coping style
In today’s polarized and politically charged environment, these skills are greatly needed to bring more compassion to ourselves and others as well as increase our capacity to find common ground in the midst of conflict. *This is for the beginner and advanced Enneagram student. It is an introductory look at the Harmonic Triad. Having a basic understanding of the 9 types would be helpful to understanding the content in this workshop.
