The Enneagram: Case Study of the Risk Averse

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week, we carry on with the second case study of my use of the Enneagram personality assessment tool to help better understand my clients and restore order and a sense of fulfillment in their lives. Nancy and I started working together around four years ago. She appeared to be really happy with her work, but, as we engaged, I uncovered the toll it had taken on her. Today, I describe Nancy's story in detail, and demonstrate how we used the Enneagram to assess Nancy's personality, brainstorm solutions, and alleviate her agony.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I kick off this episode with a timely reminder of She Doesn't Settle—The Experience program in January. After that, I dive right into the case study of Nancy, whose role was in developing and fundraising at a nonprofit. She appeared to enjoy her work, but I later found out that she had a tough time sleeping, didn't have the energy to take care of herself, worked many hours every day, and lost connection with the thing she enjoyed doing—her work. Nancy brought to light the feeling of enthusiasm she felt on the weekend to wake up early, and yet she dragged herself out of bed on weekdays. In today's episode, I chat about how I came to understand Nancy's personality using the Enneagram which, in turn, helped me appreciate her distress and work to relieve it. In the end, Nancy's situation significantly improved -  listen in and hear how!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And, as always, if there is ever a topic you would like me to discuss, a guest you'd like me to interview on the podcast, or feedback you wish to offer, please feel free to contact me at</span> <a href= "mailto:pr@kellytravis.net"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">pr@kellytravis.net</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">- I would love to hear from you!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><strong>The Finer Details of This Episode:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">o</span> <span style= "font-
