  • Kolleen Meyer-Krikac

    Kolleen Meyer-Krikac, M.S. ED. is a former teacher and school counselor who has been in private practice as a professional counselor and life coach for the past 23 years. She is the author of How to Create Your Balanced Life and teaches classes for other counselors as well as individuals.

Kolleen and Devan teach workshops and webinars about the Enneagram and decided that it would be a good idea to teach this subject to children and parents, too. They are excited to write a series of nine books to cover each of the personality types on the Enneagram so that parents and children have a greater understanding of themselves and how to deal with the challenges of each type.

 

Meet the Illustrator

Karissa Bettendorf is owner and artist at Karis Fine Arts. She lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, with her husband, son, and springer spaniel. When she is not painting, she loves to garden, bake, and read any book she can get her hands on!

The authors are donating 10% of the profits to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Why St. Jude’s? Since Devan has been donating to St. Jude’s in recent years, she suggested that we donate to its cause due to its powerful message of hope to children and families. Kolleen’s sister died of leukemia at the age of 14 and St. Jude’s was there for her family. The fact that Karissa’s son is named Jude also seemed to be a sign that this was the right choice for a charity we support.
