Diagnostic Tool within Source™

The tool that finally explains why your team works the way it does.

Every challenge has a source. The iEQ9 Enneagram is the diagnostic lens Source™ uses to find it — mapping the deep motivations, patterns, and blind spots that shape how leaders show up and how teams function.

I'm an iEQ9-certified Enneagram practitioner. The Enneagram is not a personality quiz — it's the most precise diagnostic tool I've found for locating the source of a leadership or team challenge.

The Real Problem

Something is off — and you can't quite name it.

You have capable people. Good intentions. A clear strategy. And yet something keeps breaking down underneath it all — in how people communicate, how decisions get made, how the team holds up under pressure.

The problem is rarely what it looks like on the surface. These are the symptoms leaders bring to me most often:

Two people can't seem to work together, no matter how many conversations you have
A leader keeps derailing in high-stakes moments despite strong performance otherwise
The team is technically aligned but emotionally disconnected — meetings feel performative
A high-performer is quietly burning out and no one knows how to help
Trust has eroded after a period of change and you don't know how to rebuild it
You can see the potential in a leader clearly — but they can't see it in themselves

The Enneagram doesn't just label these dynamics — it explains them. And once you can see what's actually driving the behaviour, you can change it.

What the Enneagram Is

Not a personality test. A map of what drives you.

Most personality frameworks tell you what you do. The Enneagram tells you why — uncovering the deep motivations, fears, and patterns that shape how you think, lead, and relate to others.

It identifies nine distinct types, each with their own core desire, core fear, and characteristic way of moving through the world. It also explores how you behave under stress, how you grow, and how your type interacts with others.

The version I use — the iEQ9 — is the most rigorously validated Enneagram assessment available. Over 12 years of refinement. 95%+ accuracy. Adaptive questioning tailored to each respondent.

Integrative Enneagram Solutions — the world's leading Enneagram assessment platform
For leaders, it's a lens into self.
Understand your instinctive leadership style, your blind spots under pressure, and the behaviours that are serving you versus holding you back.
For teams, it's a shared language.
When a team understands their collective Enneagram profile, they stop misreading each other. Trust builds faster. Conflict resolves more cleanly. Collaboration becomes natural.
For coaching, it accelerates everything.
Enneagram insights can compress months of coaching into a single conversation — giving both coach and client a precise map of where the work needs to happen.
It doesn't put you in a box.
Your type describes how you habitually operate — not who you have to be. It's a starting point for growth, not a ceiling.
How We Work Together

Two tracks. Both grounded in the same framework.

For Individual Leaders
The Enneagram for Leaders

A deeply personal process that gives you language for things you've always felt but couldn't name — and a clear direction for growth.

01
iEQ9 Assessment
Complete the Integrative Enneagram questionnaire — ~45 minutes, adaptive questioning, 95%+ accuracy. You receive a detailed report covering type, wings, subtypes, and integration levels.
02
1:1 Debrief with Clinton
A 60-minute session to walk through your profile together. Not a report reading — a real conversation about what it means for how you lead.
03
The Source Diagnostic
For leaders entering Source™, this becomes the Source Diagnostic — the foundation the entire engagement is built on. It can also stand alone as a powerful one-time process.

The Enneagram for Teams

A team-wide process that builds the shared language, trust, and self-awareness that high performance is actually built on.

01
Individual Assessments & Debriefs
Each team member completes their iEQ9 and has a 1:1 debrief. The team process only works when individuals first understand themselves.
02
Team Enneagram Report
A comprehensive Team Report mapping collective strengths, friction points, and the dynamics shaping how your team works together.

Facilitated Team Workshop

What Changes

What leaders and teams walk away with.

Self-awareness that sticks
A deep understanding of what drives your behaviour — especially under pressure — that you carry into every leadership moment.
A shared team language
When teams understand each other's profiles, they stop misinterpreting intent. Conflict becomes navigable. Trust builds faster.
Clarity on blind spots
The patterns holding you back are usually invisible to you. The Enneagram makes them visible — the first step to changing them.
Better decisions under pressure
When you understand your stress response, you can interrupt it. Leaders who know their type make better choices when it matters most.
Accelerated coaching progress
For leaders in ongoing coaching, the Enneagram compresses the journey. Less time diagnosing, more time doing the work that changes things.
A roadmap for growth
Not a generic development plan. A personalised map built from your specific profile — showing exactly where your growth edges are.
From Those I've Worked With

What changes when you can finally see it.

"Clinton's coaching helped us navigate change and grow our people — transforming development during a critical time. The Enneagram work gave us a shared language we still use today."

Natisha S. — HR Director, Publicis Groupe

"The team members who went on this journey are showing up, showing off, and continuing to thrive through change. Understanding each other differently changed everything."

Erich M. — CCO, Publicis Hungary

Common Questions

What people usually ask before they start.

Do I need to know my Enneagram type already?
No. The iEQ9 assessment determines your type with over 95% accuracy. Many people who've taken free tests before discover a different — more accurate — type when they do a proper assessment.
How is this different from MBTI or DiSC?
MBTI and DiSC describe how you behave. The Enneagram goes deeper — it explains why. It gets at the core motivations and fears underneath behaviour, which is what actually needs to change for lasting growth.
How long does the team process take?
Individual assessments and debriefs typically run over 2–3 weeks depending on team size. The Team Report is then compiled and a workshop is scheduled. Most teams complete the full journey in 4–6 weeks.
Can this be done standalone, or must it be part of coaching?
Both. The Enneagram works as a standalone engagement and many find it enormously valuable on its own. It also integrates naturally as the Source Diagnostic within Source™ — where it becomes the foundation the full coaching engagement is built on.
What does the team workshop actually look like?
Facilitated, experiential, and built around your team specifically — not a generic training day. We use your team's actual profile to explore how your types interact and how to leverage collective strengths.
Is this suitable for senior leadership teams?
It's most impactful at the senior level. EXCO teams have the most influence on culture and performance — and are often the least self-aware as a collective. The Enneagram creates the shared language that makes honest conversations possible at the top.
Ready to Start

The first step is usually the most revealing conversation you've had about your team in a long time.

Whether you're thinking about this for yourself or your team — let's talk through what the process would look like for your specific context.
