Question 1

What is the PRIMARY purpose of using the Enneagram in a CNET-aligned coaching relationship?

Accepted Answer

To support the client's self-awareness and intentional development by illuminating habitual patterns

CNET-aligned coaching uses the Enneagram to increase self-awareness of automatic patterns, creating the possibility of more intentional, less reactive choices.

Question 2

In CNET coaching, what does 'working with the passion' of a type mean?

Accepted Answer

Helping clients notice when the core emotional pattern of their type is running automatically

Answer

Working with the passion means helping clients develop awareness of when, for example, Type 1's anger or Type 2's pride is operating below conscious awareness and driving automatic responses.

Question 3

How does a CNET teacher differentiate between Enneagram coaching and psychotherapy in client conversations?

Accepted Answer

Coaching focuses on growth and development within normal functioning; therapy addresses clinical psychological distress and disorders

Answer

CNET-trained coaches work within the domain of growth, development, and professional effectiveness, while clinical psychological distress falls within the scope of licensed therapy.

Question 4

What is the coaching significance of a client's 'stress point' (disintegration arrow) in CNET practice?

Accepted Answer

It reveals the direction a type typically moves when under pressure, showing characteristic stress behaviors

Answer

The disintegration arrow shows where a type's energy tends to go under stress, revealing predictable, often unconscious behaviors that coaching can help make more visible and manageable.

Question 5

In CNET coaching, what developmental question is most useful to ask a Type 3 client?

Accepted Answer

What do you actually feel and value beneath the image you project?

Answer

Type 3's developmental edge involves connecting with authentic feeling and personal values beneath the performer's image, and a coaching question that invites this exploration is most generative.
