Our Students Review

What I liked best about the Enneagram workshop I have gone through with Mind Evolve is that they ask our people to speak about their life through their Enneagram Types and that helps me see how each Enneagram Types’ traits look like in real life. Now I can understand why certain people behave in certain ways using the lens of the Enneagram.

Cindy Teo

Operations Director, FLY Entertainment

At first, I didn’t trust Jarrod and his processes fully. But because I was lost and wanted to try anything to be a better me, I hunkered down and just decided to try to trust him and in the questions that he asked. He has helped me with how I see myself, my partner, my relationships with my family and money in general through our coaching sessions. So, in retrospect, trusting Jarrod definitely worked for me.

What people can expect to get out of Jarrod’s coaching is how to uncover hidden hurts and learn how to grow and adapt out of these hurts to be our better self. Coaching with him has helped improve my overall well-being and the clarity I have gained in his sessions has helped me tremendously in both my work and personal life. Jarrod is really solid, in my opinion, he can do things that other coaches can’t.
