Leadership Development and Personal Growth
About Wheelwright Associates
Our Approach
For over 35 years, Wheelwright Associates has evolved a highly personalized leadership and personal development process that invites clients to recognize and implement their potential. Through tools like the Enneagram assessment, we help individuals gain self-awareness, which is crucial for the development of wisdom. This process involves recognizing both the light and shadow in one's character and managing their integration successfully. We understand that change is hard, and that the only way it occurs is through patient acceptance and a willingness to continually explore the present moment, ultimately enhancing team performance and impacting results at work and in the world at large through effective executive coaching.
Assessment/Exploration/Action
Our primary assessment tool for individual exploration is the Enneagram assessment presented in the narrative tradition. For teams, we utilize a simple, dynamic model to quickly illuminate the internal structures affecting team performance. Our approach includes executive coaching that emphasizes implementing learning, taking action, and following through with feedback as part of a hands-on, realistic strategy. Our goal is to assist clients in their personal development by integrating disparate and sometimes opposite views, ultimately serving to produce superior results.
