At Evolve, we often start coaching and facilitation sessions with a few moments of deep, mindful breathing in order to summon present-moment awareness and calm. You can bring this practice into your home as you and your loved ones navigate these stressful, uncertain times.

As coaches, we appreciate that the Enneagram leads to self-awareness, self-understanding and self-development. What’s unique about the Enneagram amongst other personality systems is the mapping of an adult developmental pathway for each personality type.

This summer, I spent a few peaceful weeks in Owosso, Michigan, a city of 15,000 that is 30 miles west of Flint. Each day, I watched a vast field of grain and grass come alive in the morning sun. Yellow finches, blue jays, red cardinals and speckled woodpeckers took turns at the feeder.
