Terri Nelligan

The journey of becoming who we were created to be is excited, peaceful, scary and all that there is is, once you are on that path. It takes time and effort and it’s not always comfortable or wanted. It’s all that matters though if you are seeking a life of meaning and to be doing what you are meant to do while on the planet.

In my view, the Gospel is the revealing source of wisdom and freedom. The Enneagram can help us be set free by revealing how our younger years developed a go-to personality, protective shell, or an auto-pilot response to how we feel, think and behave the way we do.

Once we realize this and become awaken to it, there’s no turning back.

Leading workshops and retreats where participants are seeking individual or team growth is my jam. Human engagement and interaction is so key for individual fulfillment and I thrive in that authentic environment.

I have worked in many educational settings, including public and private K12 schools, non-profit organizations, international cultural exchange programs, and at the university level. I’ve lived and worked overseas in addition to many US states. I have extensive experience in general and special education, working directly with professionals who serve children with and without special needs and their families.

There is nothing more important to me than family. I have three grown children who have all graduated from college in the last few years and are making their way in the world. In fact, they are the ones who introduced me to the Enneagram years ago.. I got certified as an Enneagram teacher and coach years later after my own journey and realizing just how powerful the Enneagram could be.

For fun I enjoy planning events and gatherings, cooking and hanging out with family and friends.  I love to travel and to learn about different cultures.  I value fun, friendships, adventure, humor, learning, and supporting others to reach their goals.
