Seminar -Workshop Using Jungian Enneagram to a New Understanding of Leadership
On December 9-10, 2016 the Region invited Sr. Leticia Garcia, DC to give a seminar- workshop on leadership with the Use of the Jungian Enneagram. She started her talk on the Three Levels of Concerns of the Young people of today. It was interesting how the youth move from the level of seeking to find their identity, one’s self and then moving toward relationships. The last level of concern is how to find their place in the world. Sr. Letty also dealt with the issue of Power, which is crucial in leadership. She shared the six Levels of Power by Janet Hagberg. The last level which is Power of Wisdom is most important in leadership not only in Religious life but in general. But very, very few can achieve this. She gave an example: Aung San Suu Kyi.There were new insights gained on leadership. Affirmation, appreciation of one another in this seminar was likewise achieved.
