Intervention by My Sarthi Training

My Sarthi Training implemented a transformative Enneagram-based intervention, catering to both high-potential corporate employees and entrepreneurs, focusing on deep self-awareness and improved interpersonal dynamics:

Step 1: Self-awareness through self-talk activity Participants began their journey by engaging in guided self-talk exercises. This initial step helped them become acutely aware of their internal dialogues and existing belief systems, laying the groundwork for deeper self-exploration and understanding.

Step 2: Psychometric assessment A cornerstone of the intervention, participants underwent in-depth psychometric personality assessments. This powerful tool helped them uncover their core motivations, underlying fears, and fundamental worldviews, providing a rich foundation for personalized insights.

Step 3: Interactive training sessions My Sarthi Training delivered highly customized and interactive training sessions designed to decode various personality types, illuminate complex interpersonal dynamics, and shed light on behavioral patterns. Key aspects covered included:

• Mental frame identification: Participants were guided to recognize their unique mental frame or “Core” through which they perceive the world, enabling them to understand their inherent biases and perspectives.
• Identifying strengths & weaknesses: The program guided individuals to identify their personal strengths and inherent limitations, empowering them for better self-management and maximizing their natural talents.
• Acceptance of flaws: Through facilitated reflection exercises, participants were gently guided to accept and constructively work on flaws stemming from their own perceptions, fostering personal growth and resilience.
• Cultivating unconditional acceptance: The sessions enabled significant mindset shifts towards unconditional self-acceptance and, crucially, acceptance of others, thereby reducing judgment, minimizing workplace friction, and fostering empathy.
• Identifying leverage points & limiting factors: Participants were assisted in identifying which personality traits could be leveraged for success and which were actively holding themselves or others back, providing actionable insights for growth.
• Work allocation strategies: Practical strategies were taught on how to delegate tasks effectively based on an understanding of different personality types, ensuring that individual strengths were aligned with responsibilities for optimal team performance.
• Communication alignment: The program provided clear guidance on effective communication, explaining what to say and what to avoid saying to different personality types. It also built awareness of “Core-specific” appreciation methods to enhance positive interactions.
• Personal vision: Each participant was guided to define their clear personal vision and identify their unique approach to achieving it, aligning individual aspirations with professional goals.
• Personal growth action plan: To ensure practical application, every participant created a customized personal development plan with clearly defined, actionable steps for continuous growth.
• Personal Change Card: A tangible tool, the “Change Card,” was introduced to help participants track and monitor their progress over time, encouraging accountability and ongoing reflection on their behavioral shifts.
