Culture Conscious’s Enneagram-based programs have been instrumental in strengthening emotional intelligence and collaboration across multinational organizations navigating significant change. By introducing a shared framework for understanding interpersonal dynamics, Culture Conscious enables organizations to transition from traditional functional handoffs to a more integrated model that emphasizes interdependencies.

The Enneagram framework provides a common language that strengthens emotional intelligence across teams. “The Enneagram offered a unique lens for understanding motivations, which helped to foster a collaborative environment where team members could connect more effectively,” noted Trevor Attenborough, Commercial Vice President for Kao Salon Americas, reflecting on their transformation journey. This approach helped to dismantle barriers such as blame, promoted a unified team mindset and improved communication during periods of transition.

The impact of Culture Conscious’s training is evident and underscores the value of Culture Conscious’s focus on emotional intelligence, which enabled team members to better understand and align with one another’s motivations.

“The flexibility of the Enneagram allowed our teams to engage in open, judgment-free discussions, particularly during role transitions,” Attenborough added. This adaptability was critical in sustaining team cohesion and performance over time.

By prioritizing emotional intelligence, Culture Conscious equipped Kao Salon Americas with the tools to increase resilience and deepen mutual understanding. Their work laid a foundation for continuing success, enabling teams to navigate change with greater insight and collaboration.
