SATAA Lunch and Learn: The Enneagram Meets Transactional Analysis

The Enneagram Meets Transactional Analysis

Awareness is the raw material of change. On their own, Transactional Analysis and the Enneagram each give us a way into awareness. TA through the transactions ...and early decisions that structure our behaviour, and the Enneagram through the core fears and desires that drive it. Put them together, and you get something sharper. You get a fuller picture of why we react the way we do, and more room to choose a different response.

This Lunch and Learn is for a mixed room. No prior knowledge of either framework is required. Clive Vanderwagen, ICF PCC coach, ACTC-accredited, and CTA candidate, will teach the nine Enneagram types and connect each one to its TA counterpart – the injunctions and drivers behind it – so you leave with a working model of how these two systems build emotional intelligence together, not just side by side.

Come with your own type, your own TA background, or neither. You’ll leave with a sharper read on your own patterns and a practical tool for the people you coach.Show More

Being Changed by the Other: Decontaminating the Western Cultural Parent in African Education

A couple of years ago, I was invited to explore what the future of TA education ...in Africa might hold. Writing a book chapter on this topic with my colleague, Sheetal Shah, took us on a journey of personal introspection and engaged us in insightful conversations with a wide range of educators around us.

Furthermore, throughout this process, I was transformed by the powerful co-creative dialogue between Sheetal and me. It challenged me, shifted my perspective, and led us both to reflect on several questions:

How does our cultural frame of reference consciously or subconsiously prevent us from being changed by the other?
Where would our energy go if it were not engaged in defending fixed identities?
As educators, how do we foster environments in which deeper change can take place?
With these questions, I would like to invite you to further develop the conversation that Sheetal and I began, and perhaps to remain open to being changed in the process.

About Sophie Bruas (PTSTA Ed – MCC)

I am a leadership and developmental coach, an adult learning facilitator, and a certified coach-supervisor. I work with both individuals and groups. Originally from France and based in Kenya for the last 19 years, I have lived on the African continent for nearly three decades. I come from the not-for-profit sector, where I led INGOs through numerous humanitarian crises, working with teams in multicultural settings. Over the past 15 years, I have dedicated my time and energy to supporting the growth of powerful thinkers, leaders, and coaches on the continent and globally through coaching, teaching coaching skills, team coaching, and organisational learning interventions.

My educator practice is deeply rooted in Humanistic and Constructivist philosophies, emphasising authentic relationships and direct communication. I favour co-creative and experiential approaches, aiming to empower learners to find enduring solutions that resonate with their whole selves and remain respectful of their social, cultural, and environmental contexts.

Transformational Team Coaching The ability to create a coherent team ...

Transformational Team Coaching

The ability to create a coherent team out of a group of individuals is one of the core competencies of managers, HRO, coaches, and consultants.

We will present the ...four levels of TA team coaching and use these to better understand what interventions are needed to create agile structures, cross-functional cooperation and winning cultures.

FINDING TEAM PURPOSE
Purpose answers the question: Why do you do what you do? What can you do together that you can’t do alone? Through practical exercises, participants will delve into their team story, their customer story and business history.

CREATING A STRUCTURE
A team structure should serve the purpose. By creating clear boundaries, roles, hierarchy and decision-making processes, the team will gain effectiveness.

PROMOTING COOPERATION
Often teams are plagued by disturbing dynamics. By creating more cohesion, interdependency and room for initiative, leaders can increase cross-functional cooperation.

BUILDING A WINNING CULTURE
By identifying key events in the timeline, and creating a winning story the teams will contribute to a good reputation, and a sense of belonging

At the end of the webinar participants will be able to define the key issues and create a high-performance team using TA systemic concepts.

SATAA Panel Discussion - The impact of TA on children

As TA enthusiasts, we all know the impact our script has on us in ...

As TA enthusiasts, we all know the impact our script has on us in adulthood. But what if we can positively impact a child’s script while it is being created, ...by using TA to inform the way we parent and/or work with children and parents?

In this panel discussion, we will share our own experience of doing this and discuss the ripple effect we are creating through our work.

If you are a parent, grandparent, care-giver, educator, parent coach or therapist, and have a basic understanding of the core TA models, this is for you.

You’ll walk away with:

A fresh perspective of familiar TA theories.
Practical tips on how to put TA theory into practice as a care-giver or educator.
An invitation to make new meaning of your script while consciously influencing the script of the children you care for, in a positive way.

Panelist: Rythm Aggarwal
I am the founder and director of a small progressive school in Bangalore, India. I engage deeply with all three protagonists of the educational journey—children, educators, and parents.
With children, my work focuses on nurturing the whole human being—developing physical, social, emotional, and cognitive capacities. I believe that learning happens in and through relationships, and this guides my approach across all dimensions of my work.
With educators and parents, my efforts centre on building personal and relational awareness, and understanding child development. I work with adults to help them build relationships with children that are trusting, affirming, and positively challenging. My hope is to support children in growing and thriving within a respectful and connected learning community. I am currently working towards my CTA in Education.

Having found my own parenting journey empowering, I also conduct parent education workshops in school settings.
