Meet the Team
Jim Zartman
Jim Zartman co-founded The Art of Growth in 2018 as a podcast that quickly grew into a platform for Enneagram-based training, coaching, and consulting. Since 2020, he has worked full-time as a coach and facilitator with teams and leaders in Fortune 100 companies, startups, non-profits, government, and education.
He is the co-author of "Hunters, Farmers, and Teamers" with Joel Hubbard, which outlines how the three core instincts influence leadership and team culture. Their insights come from thousands of typing interviews and direct work with a wide range of organizations, making their contributions among the most impactful in the field of the Enneagram in recent years.
Jim is also the author of "And I Would Lift You," a collection of writings and poems drawn from group coaching and personal reflection.
Outside of work, Jim is a surfer, cyclist, and purple belt in jiu-jitsu. He lives with his wife and daughter in a seaside town north of Boston.
Joel Hubbard
Joel Hubbard is the Co-Founder of The Art of Growth, an Enneagram thought leader and certified coach advocating for personal growth and transformation. His work is guided by the belief that every individual possesses the power to overcome self-sabotaging habits and limitations.
Several years ago while struggling with burnout from his role in the ministry, the Enneagram provided Joel with the tools to take control of his life, rekindle his passions, and find a renewed sense of purpose. Through The Art of Growth, Joel found his true calling in helping teams foster effective communication, collaboration, and positive work environments.
Beyond his professional pursuits, Joel finds fun and inspiration on the racquetball court. Like most pursuits we resonate with, what began as a source of enjoyment evolved into a valuable teaching tool. Joel discovered that the same self-limiting patterns he faced in life mirrored those on the court. The lower stakes of the game provided a safe space to address these challenges.
Joel's multifaceted approach to life – blending coaching, training, public speaking, content creation, and personal passions – encapsulates his dedication to empowering individuals to become the heroes of their own stories. His belief in the potential for growth, transformation, and meaningful change continues to guide his journey and impact lives on a global scale.
