26: The Enneagram and how it can improve your communication

Finding freedom in effective communication<br /> <br />It is time for EnneaTalk Tuesday! This week is all about communication. During this episode I talk about the importance of being an effective communicator at home and at work, rather than an overpowering the conversation and always being right. I walk through how the Enneagram can explain each type’s communication strengths and weaknesses and how you can use this tool to better understand yourself, others, and each other more accurately.<br /> <br />Listen to this episode to learn your Enneagram type’s communication style, how the Enneagram can help you become a more effective communicator, and tips on how to navigate misunderstandings between the sender and receiver.<br /> <br />Listen now<br /> <br /> <br />It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it<br /> <br />80% or more of communication is not in the words we speak—it’s the tone and pattern of our voice and our body language that communicates the most to our audience. I open this episode discussing how the Enneagram communication application allows you to understand how each type’s communication style develops, and how important it is to be aware of how you are perceived when speaking.<br /> <br />Using the Enneagram to understand your communication style<br /> <br />I share the question I was recently asked that touched me the most, one that acknowledged the growth in my own speaking behaviors and effectiveness, and how the Enneagram can be used to help each type become a more concise and articulate communicator.<br /> <br />Progress happens when people are seen, understood, and heard. Being self-aware and doing the work to see how you come off is key to making this happen. The sooner you are able to this, the less work you have to put in be understood—and that is where the real freedom is.<br /> <br />Schedule a typing session with me!<br /> <br />If you are interested in exploring the Enneagram deeper to truly master yourself and your core motivations and communication style, schedule a typing session
