Enneagram Coaching
Enneagram Coaching
The Enneagram is a cornerstone of our coaching philosophy. We believe that skilled Enneagram coaching is the most powerful catalyst for individuals seeking profound professional and personal growth, and for organizations committed to building high-performing, engaged, cohesive teams.
What Is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a powerful tool for self-discovery, revealing what motivates us. Much more than a personality test, it goes beyond describing behaviors to focus on our intrinsic motivations, helping us understand our patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that impact our work, relationships, leadership styles and more. It unlocks powerful insights and accelerates self-awareness, an essential foundation for effective coaching.
“What sets the Enneagram apart is its depth. It not only helps you understand why you do what you do, but also equips you to recognize when your patterns are helping – or holding you back.”
~ Kimberly Harris

As a certified Enneagram coach with a background in business consulting, Kimberly brings more than insight – she brings precision.

Level 1 certification focuses on a deep understanding of the Enneagram for individual growth, equipping certified coaches to expertly interpret the iEQ9 professional reports and provide powerful one-on-one coaching.

Level 2 iEQ9 Integrative Enneagram Certification
Building on Level 1, the Level 2 certification centers on TEAM and group dynamics, training Level 2 coaches to interpret iEQ9 Team Reports and facilitate workshops. Those certified at this level have developed the skills to apply the Enneagram in complex organizational settings, improving team cohesion, communication and overall performance.
A word from Kimberly about the Enneagram:
“If you (or your team) are ready to look deeper into yourself to understand your own motivations and behaviors, the Enneagram is a powerful place to begin. This tool, plus working with a certified coach (like me!), can help guide you through the Enneagram’s insights, unlock learnings, help put those into action … and re-invigorate you
There are so many great tools for assessing your personality, and maybe you know your ‘type’ or ‘color’ or ‘strengths.’ But what sets the Enneagram apart is its depth. It not only helps you understand why you do what you do, but also equips you to recognize when your patterns are helping – or holding you back. This work is both personally and professionally transformative.
It’s the next level in your self-development journey, and I’d love to be your guide. If you’re interested or want to learn more, please reach out. Let’s connect to see if we’re a good fit.”

“Through her guidance, I clarified my core values, defined my goals.”
“Working with Kimberly at Work Invigorated as my leadership coach was an incredibly valuable experience. She made our conversations engaging and insightful from the very beginning, starting with an Enneagram assessment to understand my core personality traits. Nearly everything we discussed thoughtfully tied back to those tendencies, helping me see patterns in my leadership style. Kimberly listened deeply and grasped the complexities of our organization with impressive speed. She had a remarkable ability to identify the underlying structures of challenges before offering feedback – highlighting both what I was doing well and where I could improve. I looked forward to our sessions each week. Through her guidance, I clarified my values, defined goals & built a clear path forward. I would absolutely hire her again as a leadership coach.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Enneagram put me in a “box”?
Not at all! The Enneagram isn’t just a static label. It’s a dynamic system that shows how you behave under stress and security, and it provides a map for personal development and integration. It acknowledges that people aren’t “stuck” in a single Enneagram type but can grow and evolve, moving toward healthier expressions of their core motivations.
