Free Course Bundle: Introduction to the Enneagram and Enneagram Misconceptions

The Enneagram is a powerful tool to help yourself and others become a better person, to control their emotional reactions, or to understand themselves or others better. This can lead to less conflict, complications, or misunderstanding in their lives.

And while the Enneagram has become increasingly more popular, much of the information on the internet doesn’t provide the nuance needed to actually properly implement the complex system.

In this bundle, you’ll learn the basics of the Enneagram and some of the most common misconceptions too. Included are videos and Q&A clips on the Enneagram, personality typology and personal development.

Sterlin Mosley Ph.D

Aaron Addonizio M.H.R, M.P.A., Empathy and Enneagram Coach

Aaron Addonizio M.H.R, M.P.A.

Hi, we’re Sterlin Mosley Ph.D and Aaron Addonizio M.H.R, M.P.A.

We’ve been studying the enneagram for 21 years. First attending Enneagram courses from Tom Condon, Russ Hudson, Helen Palmer, David Daniels and others and then we began attending Enneagram conferences in 2007 where we met Katherine Fauvre. Sterlin became Katherine’s protégé around the same time and began doing bi-weekly one-on-one coaching to further his understanding of both the Enneagram and his own processes.

In our Master’s in Counseling program, Sterlin and Aaron researched the enneagram personality types, psychopathology and diagnosis, which took us deeper into the work of Claudio Naranjo’s. 

From there, we started our first Enneagram business in 2008 where we delivered trainings to counselors and psychotherapists for CEU credits and then began delivering online trainings and classes the same year. 

In 2014, we both became certified teachers and coaches with Katherine Fauvre of Katherine Fauvre Consulting. Sterlin completed his PhD in Communication from the University of Oklahoma in 2014 where he conducted several studies on the Enneagram, self-presentation and intrapersonal communication. 

Until 2021, Aaron worked for several years as Katherine Fauvre’s office manager. In addition to Aaron’s professional counseling education she received a Master’s in Public Administration in Nonprofit Management.

In addition to Empathy Architects, which we founded in 2019 Sterlin is an Assistant Professor at The University of Oklahoma where he teaches various courses in the Human Relations and Women’s and Gender Studies departments. Sterlin teaches an undergraduate level course on Personality (which is essentially a semester-long course on the Enneagram and other systems such as MBTI, the Big Five, Jungian Archetypes, multiple intelligences, microexpressions, etc). Together, we have delivered countless trainings, workshops and courses.

We both share a love of systems and have a particular aptitude for synthesizing those systems in order to foster greater self and other awareness with the aim of creating greater compassion and empathy for everyone.
