How to use the cardsAs a coach you are a tool in activate other people?s personal development. It is a great advantage if you can efficiently read off the type of personality the individual you are coaching has as it gives you the opportunity to adapt the questions. Your understanding of the person?s drive also facilitates your adaptation of manner of communication according to the personality type. Reliable experience indicates that trust can easier be established that way. The various types have very different motivation factors. Persons who for instance are motivated by setting goals, should maybe even decrease the amount of goals in life. Others should let thoughts of the past rest in favour of focusing on the present. Some people need to let emotions be a part of their decisions. If a person resembles a dart board and the coach?s questions are the arrows, it becomes obvious that the closer the centre (bull?s eye) the coach strikes, the development opportunity for the coached person increases. As for all coaching, all interaction is made with great respect for the coached person. In addition to our Enneagram type, everyone carries a history that has made us the persons we are today. The Enneagram card should be considered a source of inspiration and a dynamic tool for an experienced coach.
