A former educator, Stacey has  25 years of counseling experience. She earned an M.Ed. in Counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor. Ms. Ruff earned her Professional Certification through Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes' (former presidents of the International Enneagram Association) CP Enneagram Academy. 

​

An engaging, insightful speaker, Stacey has presented on various topics to thousands of people throughout her career. With regard to the Enneagram, she has presented at Dallas-area and state-wide conferences, trained corporate, school, and church staff, and designed and led a weekend retreat in February 2020 on using Enneagram wisdom to transform both personally and spiritually. In addition to coaching individuals and groups, Stacey also works as a coach for the CP Enneagram Academy. 

I highly recommend Stacey as an Enneagram practitioner, coach, and teacher for individuals and work teams. She provides a beautiful blend of practical, grounded support with a heartful, wise, presence. Her long-term experience as a counselor and trainer, combined with her commitment to doing her own deep inner work, allows her to meet people where they are and provide the understanding and help they need to develop, learn, and grow.

Our workshop/training was fantastic. Hospitality in the time of a global pandemic has brought endless, unique challenges to our team of event professionals.  In her introductory session with our team, Stacey was able to help everyone identify their type, obtain a basic understanding of their teammate’s types, and how these impact our team dynamics, particularly in times of stress.  Our team loved this session and we’re already looking forward to having Stacey back for a deeper drive very soon!

I've always wondered how I could help some of my staff members, and now I know what they need.

Stacey is one of the most knowledgeable, ethical, and compassionate Enneagram practitioners I have worked with. As an Eight, she modeled for me (a Two) so beautifully the power of my arrow to Eight. When I felt fragile, she was there with support and strength and, at times, a loving challenge. It was the perfect time for me to work with her as I learn to embody those qualities myself. Stacey not only helped me with the integration of the Enneagram to my personal growth, but she was a deep source of practical insight and wisdom for how best to apply the Enneagram in a variety of contexts. She really is an Enneagram wizard of the very best kind.

Thanks so much! I am really HAPPY with the information. I am very OPTIMISTIC that this will help our team. :)

I definitely see the team using it to have better conversations with their team and among themselves and reduce the amount of friction created by trying to make everyone fit into their personality type and not celebrating them for their own number.

-Chris (Type 7) Snappy Salads, CEO

I think you are pretty awesome. I enjoyed how you weren't just throwing information at us, but allowing us to think through it, process it, and laugh about it.

​

It was fantastic!!!

​

Very well done. I will not forget what you taught us.

​

I really enjoyed seeing everyone else present their numbers. It makes me more aware of how to work well with the other people on my team. There were several things that I had not been aware of or thought about while trying to work together with the other teachers.

 

It was very insightful.

In my 35 plus years of coaching and leadership training, this was absolutely one of the best tools I have ever received on how to understand my peers, my team members, and myself better and how to leverage my leadership skills to positively change the narrative on team building and create communication for success.  This presentation by Stacey Ruff is a must for any program, team, board, staff, or entity where teamwork and communication are paramount.

Boles ISD had the amazing opportunity to welcome Stacey Ruff to our district as our convocation guest speaker. Ms. Ruff provided a fun, interesting, and educational experience with her Enneagram presentation. Our employees absolutely loved it! They learned a lot about themselves and others. Stacey is not only an expert in the area of teaching the Enneagram but she also explains how to use it in the workplace. We highly recommend her for any organization looking to build relationships amongst its stakeholders.
