Non Profit Sector Development Series 2026
Lunch & Learn
The Enneagram and Emotional Intelligence
How many times have you reacted to a situation – perhaps with anger, defensiveness, or instant sermonizing – and asked yourself later, “Why did I do that?” We all have a default setting, an autopilot, designed to protect us. Unfortunately, that same protection often blocks us from connecting with others, maximizing our protectivity, and creating environments where growth happens (our own and others, too). In this training, we are going to look at the Enneagram, not just as a powerfully accurate personality system, but also as a roadmap to Emotional Intelligence (EQ). We often talk about EQ as a vague goal, and in this training, we will explore how to get there.

L’Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles presents Tasting on the Terrace: An Evening in Support of the Children’s Advocacy Center. This premier wine tasting event will take place on the lush Event Center Terrace. Guests will sample high end & unique wines all while also enjoying delicious hors d’oeuvres.
Tasting on the Terrace: An Evening in Support of the Children’s Advocacy Center, is a wine tasting event that will benefit the Children’s Advocacy Center, a Division of Family & Youth. The Children’s Advocacy Center is a child-friendly facility designed to coordinate services for children who have been reported as sexually or severely physically abused. Designed and managed to reduce the effects of trauma, the Center’s comfortable environment and well-trained staff work together with area prosecutors, law enforcement agents, child protection investigators, social service workers, therapists, victims’ advocates, and medical professionals to investigate child abuse allegations and reduce the number of investigative interviews typically experienced by our young victims.
