Topic: Enneagram and Leadership

Speaker: Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober

Topic Details: The Enneagram is a personality system that provides profoundly accurate insights into our automatic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Each of the 9 types of the Enneagram has a distinct set of underlying beliefs and motivations that result in 9 different sets of habits of mind and emotion. Understanding these patterns results in deeper self-awareness as well as greater understanding and compassion for others.

Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober will be giving an exclusive keynote via zoom to all dental professionals interested in joining us for our July chapter meeting as we dive deeper into the Enneagram.
Ashton says, "Using the Enneagram in the workplace has shown to significantly improve both relationships, productivity and leadership. Ashton speaks to leaders about how to utilize the Enneagram to grow and succeed together."
Ashton has been featured on MSNBC and in Success magazine. She is an active instagram Enneagram influencer and published author.
