Meet the Team

Are you in a significant life transition?

Life transitions are ripe for reflection and recalibration. Initiated by significant events, they plunge us into a place of ‘what now?’ What is my life asking of me?

Leslie Hershberger understands these ‘in-between’ places, having moved often as a child and developing a heart for times when our lives feel upended by external forces. 

For more than two decades, she has been applying her deep understanding of human transitions to guide individuals towards introspection and growth.

Using Enneagram and psychological and spiritual wisdom, she transforms life’s most significant shifts into a journey of self-development.

Leslie facilitates our Thresholds 2nd half of life groups and does one-on-one Enneagram work and spiritual guidance work with people who are facing a life transition.

A teacher, consultant and master facilitator, she is founder of The Centers Approach to the Enneagram and offers contemplative workshops, retreats, keynotes throughout the US and in Europe.

She designed and facilitated two internationally popular web courses with Integral Theory author/philosopher, Ken Wilber.

She co-facilitated the Integral Enneagram web course, Compassionate Presence, with teacher of intuition and author, Helen Palmer and The Narrative Enneagram and Narrative Enneagram Core Faculty members, Terry Saracino and Renee Rosario.

She created and facilitated our Enneagram Shop, which is a quarter century of Enneagram wisdom packaged for you to use in the comfort of your own home. You can create your own home workshops with our ready-to-use Enneagram Modules and Materials.

She was recently honored by her alma mater,  Xavier University with the William and Anna Madges award for Distinguished Contribution to Society.

She is the mother of 3 wonderful children and 3 grandchildren who light up her life. 

Note: Leslie no longer does our workshops for corporate teams, but offers powerful, 3 Centered retreats for executive peer group retreats like EO, YPO, Vistage, C12. (Full day minimum).
