Team and Leadership Development
Stronger teams. Better leadership. Real results.
The Enneagram is a powerful tool for building self and other awareness. Looking 'below the surface' at what motivates our behaviours, understanding our type can be a shortcut to overcoming blindspots and taking more effective actions. It also is a great help in developing leadership skills by learning about how what motivates us impacts in our leadership of others.
​
It gives great insight into others and empathy for their patterns of behaviour, thus becomes a practical tool for team development and working on a team's effectiveness and culture.
Great teams don’t happen by accident, they are shaped by intention, conversation, and shared commitment. I work with leadership teams to strengthen how they function together: building trust, improving communication, and sharpening their collective ability to lead. Through thoughtful facilitation and tailored programs, I help teams step back from the day-to-day to reflect on how they’re working, and how they want to work.
​
My approach is grounded in dialogue and co-creation. I guide teams through the deeper conversations that often go unspoken: how we lead, how we make decisions, how we hold each other accountable, and how we support one another. Along the way, I introduce relevant leadership models, tools, and frameworks that help teams make sense of their dynamics and commit to clear, practical ways of working together more effectively.
​
Whether you’re a newly formed executive team or a leadership group navigating change, I help create the space to align around purpose, values, and shared leadership. And as part of this journey, I often incorporate the Enneagram; a powerful tool for understanding individual leadership styles, motivations, and interpersonal dynamics. Used skillfully, the Enneagram creates the insight and language needed to foster self-awareness, deepen team connection, and build more effective, empathetic leaders.
I gained a clearer understanding of my values and purpose as a leader, identifying my strengths and more importantly areas for development. The program equipped me with a toolkit of practical strategies that are applicable in effective team management. The value in the programme was developing my ability to lead with empathy, clarity, and vision. These values were cultivated through self-awareness and offered frameworks to effectively lead, coach, drive performance and build a positive Organisational culture. - Abdurosheed Emandien, Manager Personal Investments - Coronation
"When we brought Rob in to work with the leadership team at Dudobi, we were feeling the friction that comes with a group of strong, independent thinkers. His sessions gave us a fresh lens to see ourselves and one another, particularly by working with the Enneagram. We've become far more self-aware, and that new understanding has allowed us to genuinely appreciate and leverage our different strengths, rather than seeing them as obstacles. The result is that we've learned to be better foils for one another, and our collective output has grown significantly. This shift in our team dynamic has had a real-world impact. We developed a bold new strategy a year ago, and with our new perspectives, we've been able to implement it with a level of alignment and purpose we hadn't achieved before. It’s a quiet but powerful change, and it's something we continue to build on." - Paul Durrant, Operations Director - Dudobi
"Rob has played a pivotal role in Pepkor's transformational journey. As part of a major reshuffling of the IT Exco team, Rob’s expertise in team building was crucial in helping the new members understand each other's strengths, motivations, and work styles. Through the use of the Enneagram, Rob guided the team through a deep and insightful process that promoted self-awareness and fostered better collaboration. This enabled the Exco to build stronger relationships, align on key objectives, and create a unified approach to driving change" - Jason Peisl, CIO - Pepkor IT
