The Enneagram is where self-awareness becomes a leadership strategy.
Because the hardest person you’ll ever lead…is you.
Most leadership development teaches you what to do. The Enneagram reveals why you keep doing what you've always done — and how to finally lead differently.
The Enneagram is both a mirror, showing you who you are, and a map showing you where to go to grow.
This is where leadership and self-development intersect. And where the real work begins.
“As a Chief of Staff, self-awareness is essential for staying grounded in a job that requires being at the epicenter of people, change, and team dynamics. The Enneagram gave me language for why I react the way I do, and a roadmap for navigating the complicated dynamics that come with the role.”

You already know how to lead. The question is — do you know what’s leading you?
Professional development teaches strategy and execution. It doesn’t teach you to understand your own patterns — why you react the way you do, what’s driving your decisions, or where the gap is between who you intend to be and how you actually show up.
That’s the work most leadership development skips. It’s also the work that changes everything.
The Work of You is built on a simple belief: the hardest person you’ll ever lead is you. And once you understand yourself — your motivations, your patterns, your instincts — everything about how you lead changes.
Meet the Enneagram
The Enneagram is one of the most sophisticated self-awareness tools available to leaders today — and one of the most under-leveraged. The system is based on your three centers of intelligence: head, heart, and body (or IQ, EQ, and BQ).
The Enneagram unpacks the why behind how you think, feel, and act by revealing your core motivation, your dominant instinct, and the patterns that have been running subconsciously, often without your awareness.
When you understand your hidden layer of leadership, you stop being managed by your patterns and start making intentional choices about how you lead — every day.

How to best understand your report
The first step is confirming your type with your IEQ9 Enneagram report. But knowing your type and actually using it to grow are two very different things.
After hundreds of debriefs with clients, I built something I wish had existed sooner — Your Enneagram Type Deep Dive: five focused modules, two hours of coaching with Jen, and your IEQ9 report as your guide. A video experience for each of the 9 types that helps you make sense of your iEQ9 report, understand the deeper patterns driving your behavior, and walk away with a real plan for growth.
This is the work of you. And this is where it starts.
Guided by a decade of practice.
Jen Ostrich is a certified Integrative9 Enneagram practitioner (Levels 1 & 2), Behavioral Leadership Coach (PCC), and creator of The Work of You. She's spent 14 years coaching leaders and nearly a decade as a student of the Enneagram — using it not as a shortcut, but as an instrument of lasting change for leaders and teams.
Because the hardest person you’ll ever lead… is you.
