Invite Terrie to Speak
Get Ready for a Few
“That Explains So Much” Moments
People don’t all see the world, approach their work, or respond to other people in the same way.
Through humor, personal stories, visuals, and moments of reflection, Terrie helps people recognize themselves in what they are hearing. They laugh when they see their strengths. They may laugh again when they recognize a familiar pattern or finally understand why something has always felt so hard.
People leave feeling seen, understanding others differently, and ready to use what they have learned in their work, relationships, and daily lives.
Terrie’s Signature Talk
Through the Lens of the Enneagram
Have you ever wondered why something that feels obvious to you makes no sense to someone else? Or why two people can experience the same situation and walk away with completely different interpretations?
Through the Lens of the Enneagram introduces audiences to the nine Enneagram types and the different lenses through which people see themselves, other people, and the world.
As the presentation unfolds, people begin to recognize themselves:
- “That is exactly what I do.”
- “Now I understand why she approaches it that way.”
- “This may be why I’m so stressed.”
- “I can see how this could be leading to burnout.”
- “I need my spouse, friend, coworker, or leader to hear this.”
The Enneagram gives people language for things they may have felt but did not know how to explain.
A Place to Laugh, Reflect, and Recognize Yourself
Terrie shares funny stories about herself and uses visual teaching to make the Enneagram easier to understand and remember.
Audience members may be invited to think about a question, notice their own response, or raise their hands, but no one is put on the spot or expected to share something personal.
People have space to laugh at the familiar parts, pause when something important connects, and consider what they can learn about themselves.
Even people who arrive unsure about the Enneagram can enjoy the experience, recognize something new, and leave with an idea they can use.

- An overview of the nine Enneagram types

You Are Not a Misfit.
You May Need to Find Your Fit.
Sometimes people look around and think,
“I’m not like them.”
They may wonder why a strategy works for someone else but feels exhausting to them. They may question why they communicate, work, or respond differently.
Understanding your Enneagram type can help you recognize that being different does not mean something is wrong with you.
You can learn to use your strengths, give yourself more grace, and take action in a way that fits you. You can also begin extending that same grace to people who experience the world differently.
More Grace. Better Communication. Greater Joy.
When people understand that others may not think, communicate, or approach the work the same way they do, something begins to change.
They can become more curious instead of frustrated. They can recognize what each person brings, talk through differences with more grace, and find ways of working together that feel better for everyone.
People can begin to:
- Understand why someone approaches the same situation differently
- Communicate in ways other people can hear
- Work through conflict with more patience and curiosity
- Recognize and appreciate each person’s strengths
- Notice what creates stress or drains their energy
- Stop expecting everyone to work the same way
- Give themselves and others more grace
- Find more joy in working together
- Understand why someone approaches the same situation differently
- Communicate in ways other people can hear
- Work through conflict with more patience and curiosity
- Recognize and appreciate each person’s strengths
- Notice what creates stress or drains their energy
- Stop expecting everyone to work the same way
- Give themselves and others more grace
- Find more joy in working together

Designed for Your Audience
Through the Lens of the Enneagram is not a one-size-fits-all presentation.
Before the event, Terrie learns about the people attending, the purpose of the gathering, and what you want them to experience. She then adjusts the stories, examples, areas of emphasis, and audience participation for your group.
A small-business gathering, leadership event, nonprofit meeting, conference, team retreat, and church event may hear the same core message, but each presentation is designed for the people in that room.
The presentation can be customized for approximately 45 to 90 minutes.
A Faith-Based Option
For churches and ministry gatherings, Terrie offers a faith-based version of Through the Lens of the Enneagram.
Along with introducing the nine types, this version explores spiritual growth and practices that can help each type grow in faith.
The message is customized for the group, the purpose of the gathering, and the amount of time available.
