68: An Introduction to the Power of the Enneagram

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am so excited about today’s episode since I am finally introducing you to a tool that I use daily in my work, the Integrative Enneagram. Whether you love or hate traditional personality assessments, I can assure you that you will find true value in what the Enneagram has to offer as it provides deeper insights in your motivations, limiting beliefs, anxieties, and hidden fears, as well as how to address them. I believe in it so much that I use it with individuals, teams, and most importantly, myself to help understand my view of the world and how I can broaden it to both grow and thrive. There is so much to share about this remarkable tool, and today’s episode represents just the tip of the iceberg.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I begin by reviewing just some of the many benefits of the Enneagram and how I use it in my work, as well as a short description of how our personality develops and the history of the Enneagram itself. Naturally, I geek out on exploring the science behind the Enneagram, what can be learned from it, the three centers involved with it, and give a glimpse of my own Type. I conclude by offering a brief overview of the Enneagram Types’ Motivations and Styles, and a standing invitation to all those interested to contact me should they wish to learn more. Today’s episode is really just an introduction to this powerful tool – there is so much more to it that we can explore, and we will do just that in an upcoming episode.

I absolutely love it, and I know that you will, too.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Enneagram is also a key component of</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">my 9-month Ascend Mastermind that will be starting this month!
