“As enthusiastic Enneagram fans, my fiancé (now husband) and I signed up with Jeff for 5 Enneagram sessions as part of pre-marital counseling. With Jeff’s expert guidance, we were able to connect on a deeper level and understand the nuances that make up our own Enneagram numbers and also how we can collaborate to be better together and also resolve conflict when necessary. We are grateful for Jeff’s program and positive influence on our journey!”

"My experience with Jeff is the most insightful and genuine work of self-discovery I have encountered. His use of the enneagram as a place we all might lead from gives direction and understanding that change for the better is possible."

J.A.,
Administrative Coordinator

"[My] work with Jeff [...] has transformed, and continues to transform, how I see myself as a leader and community member. He is a deep and insightful listener, creating a safe and respectful environment for the work of personal growth. He is also funny, humane, empathetic, and compassionate. [...] His knowledge of the Enneagram and his ability to explain its principles and relevance have helped me understand myself in a way that allows me to bring forth my best self and deal with my challenges with patience and good humor."

A.C.W.,
Clergy

"Jeff well embodies "A word fitly spoken ..." (Prov. 25:11). As such, he is a skilled craftsman who artistically "sets" both "gold" and "silver" into pleasing arrangements. These precious metals are at his disposal because of hard work. He has diligently combined years of pastoral ministry with rigorous counseling training. In addition, his Enneagram expertise provides insight into the human constitution that has long been carved into patterns of observable behavior. The end result is a rare thing of beauty. Namely, humility and wisdom placed within a most friendly and welcoming personality."

J.W.,
Pastor

"I was first introduced to the Enneagram through a couple of workshops given by Jeffrey King, which led to a monthly group meeting, and then individual coaching. I am thoroughly enjoying how this study has opened a greater understanding of myself and others, and consequently, more compassion in dealing with life situations. [...] In our Enneagram circle and individual meetings, Jeff affirms an open and safe space to share our personal stories, thoughts and feelings, so we might engage others from a deeply centered and genuine place.  I recommend Jeff and his way of teaching very highly to anyone considering a deeper look into the Enneagram!"

Testimonials

"Working with Jeff as an Enneagram coach has been extraordinarily valuable. The Enneagram is challenging to understand, yet enormously valuable for more deeply knowing both self and others. Jeff helps work through the complexity, then identify tangible insights that can transform relationships."

 

B.R.,

“Learning the Enneagram has helped me identify the unhealthy patterns in my life. Jeff’s coaching 'hits the nail on the head.' He helps me identify what’s driving my anxious behaviors. I am becoming a better spouse and parent.”

J.M.,

Pastor

"I feel deeply blessed to have Jeff as a travel companion on my Enneagram journey. This work of seeing yourself honestly (and loving yourself all the more!) is not an easy task, and Jeff is helping me apply the Enneagram to do just that. He has been a patient, gentle, encouraging, and good-humored guide in my Enneagram adventure!"

 

S.K.,

“Working with Jeff has been life-altering for my husband and me. His kind, authentic and sincere nature makes it easy to open up to and trust. We are forever grateful for his role in our lives.”

 

J.B.,

School Teacher

"The enneagram has given a fresh start to our 25-year marriage.  The process provides words to accurately explain our emotions, it provides explanation to situations of confusion.  With Jeff''s guidance and perspective, the knowledge gained far exceeds the monetary cost of his Enneagram evaluation services.  Our relationship has rediscovered JOY!"
