Leila
Enneagram: 3
ENFJ-T: Protagonist
“I’m an extrovert! I think out loud and get energy from being with others. I prefer structure and planning. I like to be in the know to ease my anxieties and know the job is getting done. I’m always looking to improve – to do better and be better. I put my trust in God and know that he is with me on both the mountain and in the valley.”
Katie
Enneagram: 3
ESFJ-A: Consul
“I value clarity and prefer structure and planning as opposed to spontaneity. I try to refuse to worry too much about an issue at hand, and instead be solution-oriented on how we can fix it. I have also learned that I place huge importance on words, I love feeling reassured that I am doing my job well and it is being recognized, and in turn, I love to provide that for other people as well!”

Clara
Enneagram: 1
ISFJ-T: Defender
“I’m a planner through and through – spontaneity is not my friend! I like to have an action plan in place for all of my projects, which is why I also enjoy helping to brainstorm new ideas and solutions to stay involved in the planning process for any task. I prefer direct and to-the-point communication about projects so I can get you exactly what you need, how you need it! I tend to say yes to anything to help out my coworkers, so I like knowing how high the priority is on a project to be able to prioritize my to-do list.”
Aubrey
Enneagram: 7
ESFJ-A: Consul
“I live & breathe for collaboration! I believe that “togetherness” plays such an important role in bringing visions to life & making things happen; especially in partnerships. I am very much a team player & am always striving to do my part to the best of my ability in order to make sure that the team as a whole can continue to thrive! In light of both of these values, I always aim to listen well to others while being enthusiastic & diligent in communicating to make sure the job gets done.”
Caroline
Enneagram: 1
INFJ-T: Advocate
“I am someone who thrives in a creative collaborative environment where we can bounce ideas off of one another! Although I love working in groups, I do often try to take on as many projects as I can by myself before I ask for help. This is both my strength, and my weakness because I hold myself to a high standard, but it’s hard for me to know when to stop. I prefer to take the weight off of others’ shoulders! This is why I really appreciate words of affirmation and knowing my help is needed and appreciated.”

Connie
Enneagram: 3
ENFJ: Protagonist
“I would say my work style is a silent hustler — if you give me a task, I’m going to do it! I’m a high communicator, who’s never afraid to ask questions & believes in leading through authentic example.”
Natalie
Enneagram: 2
ENFJ-T: Protagonist
“While working, I like to seek out others’ opinions when it applies to invoke a sense of community in my own life. I enjoy offering others words of validation when they have worked on something that I’m a part of. I want to feel like someone that everyone can rely on while getting my own tasks done as well.”
Ashley
Enneagram: 2
INFJ-A: Advocate
“With limited time, I appreciate being given deadlines well in advance so I can plan my schedule accordingly – last-minute deadlines can be stressful to meet! I’m a conscientious worker most guided by my morals and I highly value warmth, kindness, and honesty in my co-workers.”
