In this episode, I continue our exploration of four ways to use the Enneagram at work to build trust within your team. We cover how to build stronger relationships to reduce friction and inefficiencies and how to be more effective communicators.
I show how the Enneagram can nurture containers for growth that improve understanding, reduce conflict, and build relationships. Understanding the unconscious behaviors, thoughts, and patterns we have towards work, can help you be more empathic or compassionate and understanding towards each other. And that is what ultimately improves team performance.

This unscripted episode is a raw reflection on why I use the Enneagram personality system as a coach. Learn a more about me, my personality style, and the work that I'm personally doing with the system. I even share my hesitation with using personality tests at work and self-coaching I'm working on.
It is not an exaggeration to say that my life changed when I found the Enneagram and started using it for my own personal development 15 years ago. It helped me to come home to who I am and more clearly see the ways that I was conditioned as a woman in leadership growing up in an evangelical environment.
