The AIM assessments are inextricably linked with my developmental leadership coaching journeys: the combo of the Enneagram personality system and the maturity levels offers a mirror and a map and a unique and powerful entrance into the (inner) world of the client. I have not met a client that is not blown away by the accurate, revealing and often sharp, pointy description of themselves. They re-visit the reports many times over the course of the coaching program and the discoveries and insights support their new narratives.

We are thrilled to have found Aephoria as a partner to bring the Enneagram and IMF to our clients. As a firm, they are fun, flexible, and responsive, and we appreciate the ability to offer a variety of report formats depending on client needs. They worked with us to create a dedicated certification program for our bench, and the feedback was terrific. We have nothing but positive things to say about Aephoria, their certification programs, and their assessments.

If you are considering training with Aephoria for their Level 1 Coach training, then feel confident that all your prior knowledge will be deepened and consolidated. I especially valued the tri-types approach and enjoyed the insights provoked by the “how did you become a number?”

Aephoria facilitators are seasoned experts, lively and they present with humour – all your faculties will be engaged: words, visuals and music. I felt that different learning styles were accommodated. Lucille Greeff is committed to an interactive approach and in my experience has extraordinary generosity, going the extra mile, if/when you as a learner hit a bump in the road.

The resources that Aephoria makes available exceed expectations in all ways: quality, variety, and volume. Aephoria has designed a strong programme with backbone and heart. The assignments for the accreditation process are substantial without being onerous. You can dive deep or you can skim – that choice is yours. 

I attended the AIM accreditation in 2018 and found it one of those workshops where I didn’t feel time pass, didn’t think about my phone or the rest of the world and just enjoyed every minute. By then I had been working with the Enneagram for 5 years and had used it in many team development workshops. The AIM accreditation opened up the wonderful world of the Enneagram to me even further and pushed my thinking far beyond where I had gone up to then. Lucille was the person who introduced me to the Enneagram back in 2012 and I never get tired of listening to her work with the Enneagram, she has such a deep but comfortable understanding and she makes it practical and fun while at the same time challenging everyone in the room to go deeper.  

Thank you so much Aephoria for the opportunity to be a participant in the Level 1 Enneagram program.  I have studied the Enneagram for many years and your perspective was refreshing and I found great value in your wisdom and point of view.

Lucille’s facilitation was welcoming, open and warm and from the moment I was in her presence I knew that I was in good and capable hands.  Her insights and deft handling of the group was just what we needed to get the most out of the program.  Thank you again!!

I highly recommend the AIM/ Enneagram accreditation programme offered by Aephoria for these reasons:

Credibility: Aephoria facilitates deep specialist theoretical and conceptual knowledge with critical perspectives. They have deep reflexive knowledge of adult ego development theory and its application.

Learner Experience: They facilitate “participatory knowing” brilliantly through their immersive and experiential teaching methods.

Practitioner support: They have a generous approach to post-training professional development and learning application support. Their supervision sessions are transformative.

Ethics: Aephoria operates from an ethical base of integrity. As a “customer” I feel a values alignment with them in terms of their social and human intent, truthfulness and respect for people.
