Suits + Sneakers hosts several events each month, each featuring a different guest and theme. The idea is to create a space for ongoing learning that helps you broaden your thinking in a fast-changing world. This half day workshop will be hosted on the morning of Saturday, 27 June, at The Tryst in Woodstock, Cape Town.

WHAT IS THIS HALF DAY WORKSHOP ALL ABOUT?
What if the greatest obstacle to your growth isn’t what is happening around you, but what you cannot yet see within yourself? Most of us move through life believing we are responding to reality as it is. The Enneagram suggests something far more confronting: we are often responding to reality through a conditioned lens that we did not consciously choose.

Our fears, desires, assumptions, defences, and habits quietly shape the way we interpret the world. Over time, these patterns become so familiar that we mistake them for who we are. This is where the Enneagram becomes such a powerful tool. Far more than a personality assessment, the Enneagram is a map of human motivation. It reveals the unconscious patterns that drive our behaviour, influence our relationships, shape our leadership, and either limit or unlock our capacity for growth.

On Saturday, 27 June, Dani Donald presents The Enneagram Basecamp: an immersive introduction to the internal architecture of personality and a practical roadmap for developing the self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and adaptability required to lead yourself, relate to others, and navigate complexity.

This is not a workshop about placing people into boxes. It is a workshop about understanding the box you are already living inside.

Dani’s core argument is simple but provocative: whatever we are unconscious of controls us. The leaders and individuals who learn how these internal maps function will be able to drastically reduce relationship friction, dissolve internal barriers, and lead with greater clarity, influence, and effectiveness in an increasingly complex world.

This workshop is for anyone who wants to lead themselves and others more effectively. Through the lens of the Enneagram, Dani will help you uncover the hidden patterns, motivations, and assumptions that influence behaviour, shape relationships, and drive decision-making. You will walk away with a clearer understanding of how you operate under pressure, how others experience the world differently, and how greater self-awareness can become a significant advantage in both leadership and life.

This masterclass equips you to identify:
– The driving force at the root of your behaviour and why you react the way you do
– The distinct assets, liabilities, triggers, and defences of your specific type
– How your personality disintegrates under stress and how it evolves during growth
– The exact, practical pathways to take for your own personal development

By mastering these tools, you will directly change the way you:
– Lead, manage, and relate to the people in your professional space
– Navigate intimate relationships and regulate your recovery from stress and hardships
– Achieve your individual goals and perceive your daily interactions
