Coaches passionate about helping their clients break through old limiting patterns to live from a place of expanded and empowering potential will embrace Deep Coaching: Using the Enneagram as a catalyst for profound change. Roxanne Howe-Murphy's groundbreaking Deep Coaching operationalizes the profound teachings of the Enneagram so that coaches can use specific processes, tools and strategies to empower and support the transformation of their clients. The Enneagram framework is rooted in universal elements from most major spiritual traditions without specific dogma. It takes coaches beyond identifying nine dominant personality traits and patterns in their clients to help them stimulate real transformation as they unhook from the beliefs, behaviors and thoughts that are no longer useful. By becoming free to realize their optimum potential, individuals create transformational and sustainable shifts in their personal, interpersonal and work lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Next Step to Greater Awareness, June 27, 2008

By 

Suzy Sharpe "Suzy" (Sacramento) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Deep Coaching: Using the enneagram as a catalyst for profound change (Paperback)

I read this book with very little knowledge of the Enneagram. What I learned was absolutely amazing!
Once I determined what personality type I was, I used the information about the beliefs inherent in that type to eliminate the beliefs that were holding me back. My life isn't the same! I'm not hostage to my ego/personality anymore!
This book is a stepping stone to getting the ego out of the driver's seat and to gaining greater awareness. I had to read it like I read Eckhart Tolle; read a little, put it down to absorb it, read a little more. Tolle has told us what we need to do: become conscious and eliminate the ego's hold on us. This book tells you how to do that.
It is written especially for service professionals to enable them to:
1. Gain insight into their own personalities
2. Gain insight into the personalities of their clients and help their clients to greater consciousness
3. To see how their personal personality type reacts with that of their clients': the pitfalls to avoid and the strengths that can be used.
Even though I am not a coach or other service professional, this book is written in a way to benefit everyone, and it really helped me. I use the knowledge of the Enneagram personality types when I am dealing with other people and it is extremely helpful in understanding them.
I can't recommend this book enough. If you are searching for the next step in how to gain greater awareness, this is it!

This review is from: Deep Coaching: Using the enneagram as a catalyst for profound change (Paperback)

This has been a much-awaited book: not only have I found what I was looking for furthermore it surpassed my expectations. This is a well-conceived and structured book. The accessible information about how to integrate the Enneagram to the Coaching practice makes this book a potentially motivator for those who aspire to deepen their coaching practice incorporating the wisdom of the Enneagram. For those who are familiar with how the personality system works, it will only but elevate and heighten their work.
Dr. Roxanne has succeeded in reaching what was most needed in the Coaching arena: a precise and concise yet crucial and important piece of information. This book is a generous book: it provides a Guide for using the author's Coaching Model, which is of an invaluable worth. As a coach I can see already the amazing results it provides in my clients as it supports what coaching is all about: transformed and fulfilled clients in all aspects of their lives.

Roxanne's book in an amazing resource for the Enneagram and Coaching. The questions are insightful, the information on the types is brilliant and I refer to it over and over in my coaching work. It was an easy read and full of incredibly relevant material. I would highly recommend purchasing this book and keeping it on your bookshelf to come back to time and time again. A must have for any coach doing meaningful work in the world.
