Relationships are one of the most rewarding - as well as one of the most frustrating - aspects of our existence.  Whether relating personally or professionally, the quality of our relationships has an enormous impact on our happiness, on our self-esteem, our  success, and on our careers.  

Do you find yourself thinking any of the following?:

• "People don't understand me."


• "I wish I could do what I do best and be appreciated for who I am."


• "My team doesn't work well together. In fact, our differences result in conflict and reduced productivity."


• "I can't seem to influence people to see my point of view, or get along with others the way I want to."


• "My partner and I are so different; we think differently, see things differently and make decisions differently. I wish we were more alike."

The difficulties of relationships often leave us feeling confused. But now you can understand what makes you tick and what makes others tick by using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the Enneagram or the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i). Your relationship with yourself and with others can be more fulfilling and synergistic!

It begins with appreciating that you are unique and every person is unique. Each of us has strengths we can leverage and share, and areas for growth we can expand upon. Each of us responds to life from our own perspective of the world, holds different values, and deals differently with daily demands.

These unique qualities, however, are often experienced as differences that impact our intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships. We find challenges in understanding why we personally react, think and feel as we do, clarifying and expressing our needs, validating and using our gifts, or knowing how we work best.   And when we relate to others, whether they are our teammates, co-workers, family, friends, parents, children, or partners, our differences can create tension, frustration, conflict, and limitations.

There are many contributing variables to our differences and resulting separations: our unspoken motivations, our natural tendencies, our perceptions, our ability to cope with stress and conflict, our preferred communication styles, the way in which we make decisions and receive information, and the talents we own.

KEN PENROSE AND ASSOCIATES specialize in healing the separations that arise within you as you journey on the path of personal growth, or surface specifically between you and your personal partner, or with your teammates in your professional life. (For more specific information about how these areas are supported, make your respective selections from the menu: "Personal Growth", "Personal Partnerships" or "Team Development".)

I offer workshops, and individual consultations using 3 personality assessments, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the Enneagram, or the EQ-i emotional intelligence inventory, as the foundation for self-discovery. (See "Our Specialties" for more detailed information.)

The more you understand and accept the many facets of different personality types and ways of being in this world, the more you can embrace your own uniqueness and appreciate that others also have unique values and approaches, perceive the world differently than you, and want different things. You can live more authentically and also receive others more openly. When differences are valued, you each contribute to a more powerful and whole interaction; you create openness, enthusiasm, and synergy!

KEN PENROSE strongly believes that every person counts. In collaborating with Ken to understand your personality assessment, you'll find him to be open and fully present for you, empathetic and honouring, because he believes this creates a safe environment for you to connect with yourself, and freely share the deepest sense of your gifts, strengths and distinct contributions.

As you engage in this process, and open your spirit to new ways of thinking, being and feeling, there is unlimited promise for magical moments of revelation and personal growth. You will gain heightened self-awareness for better self-management and improvement of your relationships, and a wider range of choices and possibilities for productive solutions to life's challenges. In doing so, you can feel more accepted, valued and appreciated for your uniqueness.

The vision that KEN PENROSE holds is that, by joining with him, you will help yourself to fulfill your deepest life purpose, and live in the moment more openly and authentically, with unconditional acceptance of yourself and others.

If you could live more of who you are, and be more appreciated and valued through more effective relationships, wouldn't you want to begin today?

Act NOW.  When you don't know yourself clearly, you not only delay giving yourself the meaningful life you want, but you also reinforce beliefs and behaviours that can be creating struggles within yourself and the difficulties with those whom you live and work.




I will help you to clarify your needs and discern which personality assessment and approach would be the most appropriate and meaningful for you or your team.
