70: Leading, Learning. Laughing, and Loving with an Enneagram Type Six

The Enneagram Type Six: The Loyalist<br /> <br />It’s EnneaTalk Tuesday and this week I’m continuing our series with all things Type 6. I discuss The Loyalist’s strengths, greatest skills, how many of the most important people in my life are sixes, and how to develop your relationships and build trust with them. I go over their fears, what their superpower is, and how to lead, learn, laugh, and love a six.<br /> <br />Listen to this episode to hear how to communicate effectively with a six, how to show up for then and build trust, and how to ensure every six feels safe, secure, supported, seen, heard, and understood.<br /> <br />Thinking through every situation and outcome<br /> <br />The sixes are part of the head triad, which means they are incredibly analytical, problem solvers, and skeptical troubleshooters. I discuss how the six is the only type in the Enneagram that can show up in two very different ways and how these two characteristics differentiate them significantly.<br /> <br />Sixes are intuitive, witty, thoughtful, loyal, loving, and reliable. They are constantly analyzing every variation of each situation, and are driven by the need to feel safe, secure, and supported. I discuss how to connect with them, how they look for depth in trust, and seek vulnerability, honesty, truth, and hold people to their word.<br /> <br />Getting past fear and building self-awareness<br /> <br />I dig into the benefits of having a six on your team, how they play devil’s advocate, can seem to question authority, but really, are taking the time and space to feel secure under your leadership. If you love a six, I describe how to communicate in a way that makes them feel supported, how to speak their language, and encourage them to trust their own intuition.<br /> <br />I share different ways to distinguish if you are a six or not, the most important things to keep in mind if you are a six, and how to develop your self-awareness in order to grow your superpowers and become the best version of yourself.<br /><br />Quotes:<
