Back in 2009, EQ World teamed up with Dr. Jerome Wagner to bring his Enneagram Spectrum certifications into our program lineup. At the time, the Enneagram was a bit of a hidden gem. While it had been steadily gaining momentum in the United States and elsewhere since the 1970s, it’s only in the last 5 years that it’s really started to gain popularity in Singapore.
Since 2019, the Enneagram has taken Singapore by storm, with more people recognising its power as a transformative tool for personal and professional growth. In response, we created IEA-accredited Level 1, 2, and 3 certification programs to meet the growing demand, and the results have been phenomenal. Over the last four years, the Enneagram has proven itself as more than just a personality framework – it is now a real game-changer for recruitment, sales, and team dynamics.
The financial industry has been quick to embrace the Enneagram, and two memorable talks we recently did was for Zalora and VS Advisors.
Alicia was invited by Nicholas Tay from TrueNorth to be a part of this collaborative event, designed with Zalora’s largely Gen Z team in mind. Blending insights into the Enneagram with a live-streamed session for their regional offices, it wasn’t just a lecture but interactive, energetic, and relevant. This was followed by an engaging talk on financial literacy, a topic especially relevant to young professionals. The feedback was extremely positive, with participants saying they loved the valuable combination of personal development and practical knowledge.
Another recent highlight was a masterclass for VS Advisors called “Inner Compass: Discovering Your Enneagram.” Invited by Kenny Lim and conducted by Granville and Alicia, the session wasn’t your average workshop - it was a vibrant, hands-on experience filled with laughter, friendly competition, and insightful “aha!” moments.
Participants explored their 9POV profiles and got a deep dive into how the Enneagram applies to real-world challenges. The response was so enthusiastic that this pilot has sparked more planned events on a regular basis, with the next one already scheduled for 27th January 2025.
The Enneagram is no longer just a framework; it’s a movement that’s reshaping how individuals and organisations understand growth, communication, and collaboration. From energising teams at Zalora to kickstarting meaningful conversations at VS Advisors, we anticipate more of such initiatives as the Enneagram continues to prove its versatility and value in more workplaces and industries.
