Lisa Mitchell

I grew up as a Navy Brat, living in various locations throughout the United States and the world when I was younger. I met my husband, Kyle (Type 7), on a blind date in 1997, and we were married 4 months later. I wouldn’t recommend that timeline for most folks, but it worked for us!  Together we have 4 adult children: Makenzie (Type 2), lan (Type 5), Caed (a social 9), and Braedan (one-to-one 9). Between all our Types and Wings, we cover every number on the Enneagram! Does that make our home a little crazy at times? Definitely!

I was an elementary school teacher for 21 years and loved it! It was incredibly rewarding to watch students have that “light-bulb” moment when they finally connected the dots and saw the whole picture. In 2018, the Lord orchestrated a divine interruption for me when I was offered the position of Kid’s Ministry Director at a fast-growing church. This is when I was first introduced to the Enneagram. I was immediately captivated by its accuracy and usefulness and found myself leaning into it heavily as I managed a dynamic and eclectic ministry team of nearly 200 people. I could easily see that an enhanced awareness of personal motivations was like the key in a lock, helping to promote a greater capacity for compassion, grace, and connection with all the people I was leading.

When our youngest child graduated high school in 2022, I left full-time ministry and joined my husband’s counseling practice. I provide Enneagram Coaching as one of the many services offered by this Biblical counseling organization.

I’m still a teacher at heart and look forward to coming alongside you on your Enneagram journey. I can’t wait to see YOU have your own “light-bulb” moments, connecting the dots to see the beautiful picture of who God designed you to be!
