IPEK SERIFSOY, PH.D.

“I enjoy working with Ipek and the Enneagram tool and have done so in several settings: 1:1, small team and whole department . Through knowing and understanding my Enneagram type I have developed a better understanding of myself especially some instinctive reactions and patterns. As a result I have been able to recognize these reactions early , change course and to free me up to develop an authentic leadership style that has made me a more effective and motivated leader . In addition it has taught me how to be more resilient and better manage stress. I would highly recommend Ipek and the Enneagram workshop to any individual and team!” – C.L., Senior Vice President of major Biotech Company
