About Tres Jiménez
I help people understand themselves more deeply—so they can navigate change, collaborate more effectively, and show up with greater intention in their work and lives.
As a certified Enneagram practitioner (IEQ9 certified for individuals and teams), I use this powerful framework in coaching, workshops, and team development. But my path here wasn't linear.
A Career Built on Reinvention
I started my career in the corporate world, spending years at ESPRIT and Gap Inc.—where I helped launch Gap Body, Gap Sport, and product lines for Old Navy and Banana Republic. I loved the creative energy of product development, but over time I found myself drawn to a different kind of work: developing people.
That shift led me into talent development, leadership consulting, and eventually to Enact Leadership, where I honed my skills in coaching and facilitation. When the pandemic arrived, I made the leap to independent practice at 55—launching my own consulting work focused on leadership, culture, and inclusion.
Discovering the Enneagram
Six years ago, I encountered the Enneagram—and it changed how I understand myself and everyone I work with.
Unlike personality assessments that describe behavior, the Enneagram reveals motivation: why we do what we do, what we're protecting, and where our growth edges live. I was captivated. I dove into study with the rigor I'd brought to every chapter of my career—training extensively, earning IEQ9 certification for individuals and teams, and joining a global network of practitioners I collaborate with virtually and at international conferences.
The Enneagram has become central to my coaching practice—not as a label or a box, but as a map for navigating real life.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals and teams who are ready to go deeper.
For individuals, I specialize in supporting people through change—whether it's a career transition you've chosen, one that's been asked of you, or one that arrived uninvited. The Enneagram becomes a tool for self-understanding, performance improvement, and finding balance when everything feels uncertain. In our work together, you'll gain clarity about your patterns, your blind spots, and your untapped strengths.
For teams and organizations, I facilitate workshops and development sessions that help groups understand how different motivations shape communication, conflict, and collaboration. When teams see each other more clearly, they work together more effectively—and difference becomes a competitive advantage rather than a source of friction.
Why Work With Me
I bring decades of business experience to my coaching—I understand organizational dynamics, leadership pressure, and the real constraints people face at work. I'm also trained in Open Space Technology facilitation, DiSC behavioral assessment, and emotional intelligence development. My style is warm but direct, grounded but expansive.
Most importantly, I believe the Enneagram isn't about putting people in boxes—it's about helping them see the box they're already in, so they can choose to step out.
If you're curious about yourself, navigating a transition, or looking to strengthen your team, I'd love to connect.
