Flemming Christensen

For over twenty years, Flemming has integrated psychology, leadership, teamwork, and communication with life purpose, personal growth, quality, and a meaningful life. He has authored twenty books, most of them oriented to integrating the Enneagram into practical use. He has been speaking at IEA Conferences since 2004, presenting on leadership, teamwork, presence, and mindfulness and, more recently, integrating integral theory with the Enneagram. Flemming is also a co-founder of IEA Denmark and has been an active board member for many years.

Flemming’s company, THINK ABOUT IT, celebrated the 22nd anniversary of being the Enneagram Institute of Denmark and responsible for training more than 50,000 students over the last decade. Flemming’s highly precise Enneagram test, used by more than 140,000 people, is also a standard in a number of large corporations in Denmark in support of employee recruitment, retention, and development.

Flemming is the creator of several Enneagram applications and a 28-day training program that supports Enneagram enthusiasts in their daily use of the Enneagram. Since 1996, one of his biggest contributions to the Enneagram community has been the extensive use of the Enneagram in leadership training and team development in business and public sector organizations. Departments in international companies like Danish Bank, LEGO, Microsoft, Novo Nordisk, and Philips have received training in using the Enneagram to grow and expand personal excellence.

Flemming is a fully certified teacher through The Enneagram Institute and a certified Integral Development Coach through New Ventures West, a leading coach training school. He has also studied at the University of Notre Dame’s “Executive Integral Leadership” program and the Strozzi Institute’s “School of Embodied Leadership.” He continues his studies with a Zen teacher and is attending an MA in Buddhist Studies.

Flemming is dedicated to exploring practical ways of developing personal excellence, with an increasing emphasis on tailoring the right practices to develop specific new competencies. As a presenter, he uses his Danish humour while challenging everyone to be real. He helps clients ask the big questions of “Why?” and facilitates processes for finding answers that ring true in the heart.
