Our purpose is to surface the untapped potential in people and organizations. We want you to see and experience the power of what and who is already there.
And with that newfound clarity, mobilize your organization to a new level of effective, productive, and meaningful action.
Our approach is specific to our clients’ needs, goals and situation. We create a custom program for each engagement, with common elements across most of our work. This includes team-based and individual coaching.
Our work becomes part of the fabric of our clients’ culture, as the teams and individuals move through the phases shown.
The Enneagram is a framework for transformational development, offering each of us the opportunity to explore our core motivations and inherent gifts. Through this lens, people become aware of their own automatic patterns of seeing and reacting to people and situations. Equipped with this self-awareness, our clients are able to make conscious choices that inevitably bring out their best and the best in others.
Trilogy Effect has worked with the Enneagram for years, personally and with hundreds of clients and senior leaders.
This framework builds upon our belief that every person has potential, realized and unexpressed. The Leadership Circle offers a way to open up constructive, necessary and often avoided conversations with leaders that reveal their gifts and areas for development. The Enneagram is a perfect pairing with The Leadership Circle’s competency-based 360º review and the Collective Leadership Assessment, which builds readiness for change.
The output surfaces key opportunities for leadership skills development and provides an ongoing, systemic approach for lasting change throughout organizations.

Trilogy Effect is our partner during this integration journey, filling a void that is very much needed during times of great change and many new people and relationships. They have the trust of the people to help them feel comfortable with the change and trust the change.

I went in to this with a lot of trepidation; I had been down the road before with Insights, with all sorts of different approaches. What Trilogy Effect does differently is they don’t label any person or behavior as problematic, there is no judgement and there’s no sense that the person or the team needs to be fixed. Instead, the focus is on understanding everyone’s unique strengths, and that to maximize those strengths, we all have work to do. It felt like we were finally getting at the root of things we were trying to address for years. Everyone bought into it and supported this work because Heather and Mary Beth bring tremendous skill, compassion and kindness to these conversations.

The work with Trilogy Effect uncovered barriers that we knew were there, but we did not know why or how to address. The thinking renewed the power of the collective, the sense that the individuals make up the whole, and that all are beautiful and valuable in their own personal way.
Paul Johnson
Of all of the leadership training programs I’ve been through, this has been the most impactful and useful for me. It helped me understand how I think, why I think the way I do, and as a result, how I come across to other people. And learning the same about the key people around me has helped me understand their own motivations. I feel we’re much better now at effectively communicating and getting things done in our organization.

As an organization, we need to invest in our people, to realize that the cost of keeping and developing good people is significantly less than the cost of bringing on new people.

Our approach to people development is multi-dimensional, based on our collective, hands-on experience across hundreds of organizations, from start-ups to global market leaders.
Successful leaders know, intuitively, that an authentic focus on people is the only sustainable way to grow. These are the people we work with.
We partner with senior leaders because we understand they set the tone and culture for quality and results; that in order to invite success, a leader’s number one job is to help people reach their potential, to provide what people need to get the job done and to ensure the team is working well together.
We do this work together, with each other and with our clients, because it’s what we have seen make a difference in organizations and in people’s lives.

Business Leader and Bestselling Author Aliza Knox joins Wendy Appel and Mary Beth Sawicki of Trilogy Effect in this episode of the Being Human Is Good for Business podcast to discuss her new book Don’t Quit Your Day Job: The 6 Mindshifts You Need to Rise And Thrive At Work.
In this episode of the Being Human is Good For Business Podcast, Trilogy Effect partners Heather Marasse, Wendy Appel and Mary Beth Sawicki discuss listening skills as a ‘superpower’ and explain how learning to listen generously can transform a good leader into a truly great one.
Gerald Leonard draws on his experience as a professional jazz bassist to teach us the role that improvisation plays in building agile teams.
In this episode of the Being Human is Good For Business Podcast, we discuss leaders who use their heads in leading successfully by relying on the head center of intelligence, Enneagram Types 5, 6, and 7.
The International Journal of Behavioral Science says that 70% of people experience it at some point in their lives. In this show, the leadership experts at Trilogy Effect discuss what’s driving this trend and provide practical tips and advice for people with Imposter Syndrome.
We’ve all heard the expression about following your heart but when it comes to leading others, this can be tricky. Originally published almost two years ago, this show is full of leadership insights including how trust is the gateway to tapping the potential of others.
Trilogy Effect Partner Wendy Appel says, “There’s a great expression, ‘It takes at least two to know one.’ Providing feedback is like holding up a mirror. The idea is to let the person view how he or she is being experienced and help them see the ripple effect.”
“Email is fine for day to day work updates and information sharing, but it's a terrible way to deliver feedback to an employee or colleague,” says Trilogy Effect Partner Wendy Appel.
“Leaders who are solution-oriented are really focused on action conversations,” says Heather Marasse, Executive Coach and Managing Partner of Trilogy Effect. “They want to keep things moving and they're very curious when things stop; they want to dig into what's stopping the action. Because action is what produces results and solution-oriented leaders are results-focused.”

“Psychological flexibility in a leader is crucial for sound decision making. A leader needs to quickly bring themselves back ‘above the line’ in terms of their emotional, mental and physical state,” says Trilogy Effect Managing Director Heather Marasse.
Chemistry is key to success, said Wendy Appel, author and founding partner of leadership development company Trilogy Effect. “There should be a good match between mentor and mentee — chemistry and whether the mentee respects and trusts the mentor,” she said.
Managers who have gone through their own struggles are better equipped to offer reports perspective when, inevitably, problems arise or mistakes get made.
Chemistry is key to success, said Wendy Appel, author and founding partner of leadership development company Trilogy Effect.
When you are someone who is committed to developing self-awareness and emotional intelligence, your personality is no longer the only set of tools that you have in your toolbox for communicating and collaborating!
Our emotional intelligence allows us to notice our feelings and to pause before reacting. We an then take the time to ask ourselves: “What am I feeling? Why? Have I felt this way before? When? Is this history relevant to today?”
In everyone’s career there comes a point when you find that everything you have done to get you where you are today, no longer seems to help you in getting to the next level. It often hits business professionals who are between 35-to-45 years of age and are striving to make the shift from management into leadership roles. They feel stuck. And no matter how hard they work or how much training they undergo, forward momentum starts to stall.
Not just for Healthcare professionals! Wendy Appel joins host Dr. Stephano Bini in a wide-ranging discussion about how the Enneagram supports leadership development.
Author and leadership development expert Wendy Appel has transformed her professional experience and intellectual insights into a framework for leadership and team development that are captured in this book. She drew on twenty years of study and work with the Enneagram to bring ancient, personal, and practical wisdom to leaders and their teams to navigate the current world situation.
Wendy Appel joins me to share tips and practical advice about one of the trickiest parts of managing a team.... giving honest feedback, in a way that doesn’t come across as too harsh. Most people don’t like to give feedback. They fear the lack of control inherent in these situations. Yes, we can regulate what we say and how we deliver feedback, but how the person responds is up for grabs! In this interview Wendy shares her top tips for delivering constructive criticism that will motivate team members to achieve great things.

One useful therapeutic framework to supplement a coach’s usual toolkit is IFS (Internal Family Systems). The IFS model helps people reclaim their authentic center, or Self, which is rooted in connection, compassion, creativity, clarity, curiosity, calm, confidence, and courage.
Coaching and mentoring now go way beyond helping someone advance in their career or pursue their dreams. Employees are looking to their leaders, coaches, and mentors for guidance and support to get through these continued challenging times.
