Working with Positive Futures
Good to know before we talk.
- What does Positive Futures do for organizations?
Leadership and team development grounded in awareness: one-on-one coaching for leaders and managers, customized team meetings, trainings and workshops, onboarding with the Enneagram, culture and morale assessment, strategic meeting facilitation, and co-developed systems and processes. Engagements run from a single team workshop to multi-year partnerships as the team's in-house trainer.
- Where does Katie work?
Positive Futures is based in Pismo Beach, California and works across San Luis Obispo County and the Central Coast, on site with teams and online by Zoom.
- Why use the Enneagram at work?
The Enneagram maps nine personality types and 27 subtypes, and with them how each person communicates, leads and decides under pressure. Teams use it as a shared language for feedback, conflict and trust; leaders use it to see their own patterns and choose differently.
- How much does coaching cost?
Private coaching and consulting is $300 to $500 per half day of three to four hours. An Enneagram personality assessment and consultation is a good place to start. Organizational engagements are scoped together and quoted as a proposal.
- What is Peek into Personality?
A complimentary 30-minute introduction to the Enneagram and the Foundation of Awareness that Katie brings to organizations, teams, clubs and groups of friends. Send a message to schedule one.
- Can Katie speak at our event?
Yes. Katie speaks on awareness-based leadership, communication, team effectiveness and human nature, and designs public and in-house workshops on topics such as running a meeting worth your time, navigating conflict and giving effective feedback.
“If Katie hadn't worked with me and introduced me to the Enneagram, I think I could have gotten really stuck in my growth.”
