WHERE WORK GETS LOST IN TRANSLATION

 

Your team may be speaking the same language. That doesn’t mean they’re understanding each other.

On directness:

"I'm trying to be clear."

 

WHAT THEY HEAR:

"You're criticizing me."

 

On processing:

"I need time to think."

 

WHAT THEY HEAR:

"You're disengaged."

On decision-making:

"Let’s just make a decision."

 

WHAT THEY HEAR:

"You don’t care about getting it right.”

 

A lot of workplace friction is really a translation problem.

People bring different motivations, communication styles, assumptions, reactions to stress, and ways of getting work done.

 

The Enneagram gives teams a language for understanding those differences. We help them make that language their own.

After trying other personality training, this team found the Enneagram hit the sweet spot: enough depth for meaningful vulnerability while still feeling appropriate for the workplace.

Soft Skills.

Strong Teams.

AI can change how work gets done.

It can't eliminate the need to communicate clearly, navigate differences, give feedback, build trust, manage conflict, and lead people through change.

The more work changes, the more important it becomes to understand the people doing it.

“I plan on using what I learned to advocate for myself better and let people know what I need rather than expecting them to read my mind."

 Where Teams Get Lost in Translation

The moments that seem small are often where different ways of working create the most friction.

Communication

"We were in the same meeting and somehow heard two different things."

Feedback

"Why are they upset? I’m just trying to help them get better."

Conflict

Decision-Making

"How are some of us ready to decide when the rest of us still have questions?”

Leadership

"This worked with my last team. Why isn’t it working with this one?"

Change

"We told everyone what’s changing. What else do they need to know?"

"The workshop experience forced me to step back and reevaluate how I portray myself and interact with others."

- Enneagram Training Attendee
