The Enneagram, according to Truity, is a system of personality that describes people in terms of nine types, each with their own motivations, fears, and internal dynamics. But what makes it more than just a system of personality? How can you use it to understand yourself, the people you lead, and the people around you more?
Stef takes us on an amazing journey of understanding the Enneagram and why she loves it more than other personality types. She shares what the Enneagram is and how it can be used to grow yourself and your business and help you work with other people with different Enneagram types. She will share the triads, numbers or types, and the sub-types of the Enneagram.
If you are ready to dive deeper into the Enneagrams and have a better understanding of why you do things the way you do, then this episode is perfect for you!
“Enneagram is basically an old personality typing system.”
“The main reason I fell in love with the Enneagram is because this gives you an overview of your personality but it also shows you what your like when you're unhealthy, it shows you what your like when you’re stressed, it lays out what's called an unconscious motivation for each number.”
“The number that you are is not determined by what you do. It's why you do it.”
“What I've discovered and I know this to be true if we can't self observe we cannot self-correct. We can't identify, face or change the things about our personalities that hold us back in life, hold us back in business, hold us back in relationships.”
“Twos, threes, and fours are in the Heart Triad. They represent the most emotion-oriented people on the Enneagram, very relationship-centered, and the main feeling associated with them is shame.”
“Ones, nines, and eights are in the Gut Triad, and the main thing that they deal with is anger.”
“Fives, sixes, and sevens are in the Head Triad, and the main feeling that they deal with emotion is fear.”
“There's a lot of women that are twos. And one of the things that I know that they struggle with is coming from that perspective of just wanting to help. It's really hard for them to wrap their head and heart around making money.”
“Threes are called the achiever. They've been called performers. So when threes are healthy, they have a clear understanding that life is just isn't about what you do.”
“The fours are called the romantics. They don't just have feelings, they are feelings walking around attached to a body. They truly are the unicorn of the Enneagram.”
“Fives are called the investigator. They are observers, have a long view of things, they're extremely diplomatic, and they're analytical.”
“Sixes are called loyalists. They are productive, logical thinkers, honest, reliable, very clear-eyed judges of character. The most faithful and dependable peeps on the Enneagram.”
“Sevens is called the enthusiasts. When they're healthy, they can handle a wide range of emotions. They embody joy and a love for life, the ultimate hype person.”
“Eights are the challengers. They are the lead me, follow me, or get out of my way people. When they're healthy, they are very capable of collaborating and valuing the contribution of others.”
“Nines are the peacemaker. They are the sweethearts of the Enneagram. They go with the flow. When they're healthy, they're unselfish, they're flexible and very inclusive.”
“Ones are used to be called perfectionists. The ones are committed to a life of service, integrity, balance, and responsibilities.”
“The Enneagram has helped me have more compassion and not be so critical or judgmental or feeling like people have, let me down.”
“Every number on the Enneagram teaches us something about the nature of the character that God made us in as well.”
