Dr. Deborah A. Ooten

Dr. Deborah Ooten has a passionate mission to improve the lives of everyone around her by increasing conscious awareness.  Conscious Dynamics, LLC was founded and powered by that mission - creating Bold Companies One Person at a Time through training, consulting and team building.  As a gifted trainer and coach, Dr. Ooten brings her expertise on the Enneagram and Spiral Dynamics together in a unique system she designed herself to bridge simple concepts and immediate results for motivated professionals.

Dr. Ooten believes lives can be transformed by attending to how our personality separates us from ourselves, others and the divine.  She combines pioneering research on Spiral Dynamics with The Enneagram – a powerful and leading edge Personality System.  Dr. Ooten helps business professionals achieve success by increasing their awareness and understanding of themselves and others.  "When employees understand both their own gifts and challenges, and those of their co-workers, the result is high performing, happy teams," explains Dr. Ooten. 

Dr. Ooten’s passion was rooted and realized in her experience with her family.  Her desire to understand and help her own family and the achievement that followed led her to pursue a B.S. degree in Occupational Therapy (Body), followed by a Masters in Philosophy (Heart), and ultimately a PhD. in Psychology (Mind) - each one focusing on an integral aspect of each of us: Body, Heart and Mind. 

Having effectively navigated the family dynamics through her experience and education, Dr. Ooten founded three successful companies, each focused on a unique audience:  Dr. Ooten's private practice, The Conscious Living Center for individuals, couples, families, and the School of Conscious Living and Conscious Dynamics, LLC for businesses.

The unique process of utilizing the Enneagram’s powerful and cutting edge system that Dr. Ooten created has been applied with transformative results by numerous business leaders, Fortune 500 companies, individuals and families to realize their objectives and exceed their potential.

As Susan D. Vanell-Charpentier, Purchasing Group Manager at Procter & Gamble described,

"At the end of the day, we truly felt like a new group! We are amazed at the power of the concept and the benefit it provided and continues to provide to our group."

Dr. Ooten serves internationally as a cooperative specialist in consciousness.  She also currently serves as the President of the Mt. Auburn Chamber of Commerce.  She has served as President of the International Enneagram Association and the International Enneagram Association’s USA Affiliate, and continues to serve. 

The intersection of personal experience, professional accomplishment, compassionate listening, innovative ideas and a direct change agent approach make Dr. Ooten an invaluable resource and sought after authority in conscious awareness.
