The Enneagram
The Enneagram is a powerful personality typing system that examines your core motivations, fears, and desires. There are nine types, and they are interconnected in various ways. The Enneagram system is simple, but it can go very deep when your core type is viewed alongside your wing, your instinct, your tritype, and your level of overall health.
Your Enneagram type doesn’t define you. It’s actually the story you have told yourself to survive. Beyond fear, anger, or shame, is your true self, without your type’s survival mode.
For example, as a Type Nine (a peacemaker), I fear loss or separation. To avoid any fragmentation, I will avoid conflict. In my unhealthiest states, I will disassociate from myself, from others, or from reality altogether in order to keep anything from affecting me too much.
At my best, however, I find peace within myself so I can be content in any situation. With the wisdom of the Enneagram, I can embrace the nuances of a flawed personality and transform them into powerful assets.
What is your ego story and how can you turn it into your success story?
Work with me, and we’ll do a deep dive into your Enneagram type. We’ll open the door to uncover your hidden strengths, tackle limiting beliefs, and achieve your goals. The path of growth of the Enneagram engenders deep change, and as you become healthier, you’ll see transformation in your mindset, your relationships, and your career. Even more importantly, it brings you closer to your true self, your essence, that you were created to be.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
