Columba Bay Has the Solution for Your Students:
The People Puzzle Program

Communications • Team Building • Personal Management

Businesses often find graduates lack the necessary soft skills that allow them to understand and integrate successfully into the workplace. By using a unique personality analysis designed by the Enneagram Institute, Stone Ridge, New York, we increase your graduates’ employability skills. Imagine if your graduates could develop a major skill set required by employers:

Understand the nine personality types found in human nature
Apply this understanding of communication styles in the workplace to achieve organizational goals
Respect and encourage team members – support their strengths and contributions
Plan and make decisions with others and support the outcomes
Lead when appropriate, mobilizing the group for high performance
Move from an individualistic point of view to a more flexible style in order to achieve the goals of the organization
Deal effectively with conflict, office politics, ineffective work habits, and different management styles.

How do we do it?

We meet with you to understand your needs, complete a Needs Analysis, then offer you options to begin applying the People Puzzle Program.
Columba Bay uses professionally developed materials including a scientifically validated personality typing tool.
We use a certified Riso-Hudson teacher for your training sessions and seminars.
Our methodology includes exploration groups, panel discussions, team case study, and final evaluation. Students will receive a course completion certificate.

Praise for Columba Bay’s programs:

“An accurate description of my own personality type... In business, it has improved my negotiating skills and helped me to avoid conflict and other barriers to peak productivity. My understanding of the needs of other personalities will assist me to attract and retain valuable clients.”

“I was astounded to find out how the applications would positively affect our business... I was able to use the information to structure the tasks of our employees around their natural strengths. This strategy has propelled the success of our business forward by simply letting our team do what they do best... I feel a greater sense of accomplishment, more rewarding relationships with co-workers and clients, and far less work-related stress.”

THE ENNEAGRAM
SUCCESS STORY

Corporations have been using the Enneagram for hiring the best possible person for a particular job, for teaching executives to manage their employees more effectively, for improving customer service, for clarifying a corporate image — a corporate personality type, so to speak — or for building a more profitable sales force.

Team building, executive development, marketing, corporate communications, and conflict resolution — among its many applications — are all more effective when insights from the Enneagram are applied in the business world.

Major successful organizations that have used the Enneagram include Adobe, Al Italia Airlines, Amoco, AT&T, Boeing Corporation, eBay, General Mills, General Motors, Hewlett Packard, KLM Airlines, Prudential Insurance (Japan), Toyota, Weight Watchers International, and many more.
