In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore are joined by Dr. Joel Rothaizer, a Master-Certified executive coach and organizational consultant, and Board Certified Psychologist in Organizational & Business Consulting Psychology. Joel brings his personal insight as they discuss the vice, virtue and fixation for the Enneagram Type Three. This type is driven by the need to be seen as valuable, and therefore creates an image of themselves. However, what we typically don’t see is the anxiety behind the behavior.
“And they’re being portrayed in such an unfair way. I think the most superficial thing is not Threes, it’s the way they’re portrayed by many, many people out there.” -María José [06:32]
“Oftentimes, we ostracize the things that we don’t like about ourselves. So what is that sort of thing in the Enneagram community? Why do we have such an issue with Three energy?” -Creek [07:54]
“It’s striving to feel outstanding, but it’s striving to feel outstanding in the eyes of others. I mean, I think Enneagram Three hell would be to do something remarkably outstanding and have nobody know it.” -Joel [30:08]
“One of the things that Threes are very good at is being productive in a way that is meaningful.” -Mario [43:24]

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore discuss the instinctual biases and branding. They explore how they use the Enneagram and the instinctual biases in their work and how it applies to branding. Using examples of different brands–from phones to coffee–they show how the instinctual biases can engage with their potential audience, revealing what they’re offering and the domain it appealing to.
“You have to understand what is the instinctual bias message of my brand. Now it does not have to be who you are. If you’re a Preserver, you don’t have to have a preserving brand, and you don’t have to take in a preserving approach to promoting that brand, but you need to know what it is.” -Mario [20:59]
“I think that the clearer we are around what is it that we’re providing, the value we’re providing, the more we will get to those who are looking for exactly that.” -María José [37:12]
“Another way you can that is knowing your brand is knowing how you’re useful to other people and leaning into that.” -Creek [42:02]

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore answer more questions from listeners about typing and mistyping. They answer specific questions about certain Enneagram types as well as share some of the questions they would ask to determine someone’s instinctual bias.
“The key to assessing people is to let them talk. To get them to talk. Because the more they talk, the more they reveal themselves.” -Mario [13:41]
“So a lot of it has to do with more what’s not said or what’s not there, not necessarily the thing that is there.” -Creek [26:25]
“We’re supposed to have a logic behind the things we do, but in my experience, a lot of the couples that I’ve seen are not rational.” -María José [28:01]

It's the 100th episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast! To celebrate, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore reflect on reaching this milestone as well as answer listener questions.
“To find the people that we connect with on some level, the people that love to critically think, love to push back, love to find what works and not just make you feel things, but actually do things, and the podcast has been a ringing bell of sorts for those types of people.” -Creek [10:35]
“The most important point is to be patient and to be provisional. Never assume you have somebody’s Enneagram type right, really ever, but especially the first time you’re interacting with them. Always be open to more information because people are complicated and they can show you something for a little while but not maintain that over the long term.” -Mario [42:41]
“The Enneagram is useful but it is not enough in and of itself… So you need to see what the problems are just with individuals, with the teams or the organization in general. What is it that they’re trying to address and how can the Enneagram be helpful in that way?” -María José [55:05]

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore conduct another typing interview with Jess Junke, a self-employed administrative consultant. Jessica works with a client in the Enneagram world, but is a rookie when it comes to knowing her Enneagram type. MJ interviews Jess about her personal and work life as a way to show how she and Mario do a typing session and put together the different puzzle pieces towards their hypothesis.
“This is supposed to be as a way to understand how Mario and MJ do typing sessions. This is also a way to–in some ways–practice your own skills of observations and putting together the different puzzle pieces, turning the knobs and trying to come up with some sort of hypothesis at the end of what Jess may be. So we make sure to hold these things very loosely as humans are complicated, and there’s lots to discover.” -Creek [04:08]
“Part of growing up for me has been realizing that sharing the hard things with people is a lot more fun actually. It makes the hard things –I don’t know about easier–but they’re not as heavy to carry and so I can go a lot farther.” -Jess [14:05]
“That’s what the Enneagram is for. It’s not just a fun game or questionnaire. It’s so that we can apply it in ways like this to manage ourselves and being able to change the narratives we have, understanding that my narrative is related to striving to feel connected in your case.” -María José [59:16]

They go deeper into the other Enneagram type combinations that are harder to make sense of and why “countertype” is not the ideal term for it.

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita, Seth "Creek" Creekmore and Lee Fields recap last week’s episode with Christian McClain. María José and Lee share their hypotheses from their initial listen of the episode, and Mario provides a more in-depth look into his thought process in determining Christian’s Enneagram type.
“Expect that there will be confirmation bias. Expect that you’re looking for both of these components and they might be in conflict with one another, and so hold room in your mind that you’re not precisely sure what you’re seeing until you have disconfirming confirmation.” -Lee [13:42]
“Treat it as entertainment that you can learn some skills from and understand a little bit more about how the game is played.” -Creek [16:16]
“Look, you just have to master the fundamentals of this. You have to understand what these instinctual biases are really all about, and what these strategies are really all about, and what really happens related to the connecting points. Not what we read about in the books.” -Mario [25:50]
“In my mind, I need to pay attention to the things that are being said and not get trapped into my initial hypothesis.” -María José [32:37]

In this special episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Seth "Creek" Creekmore and Mario Sikora are joined by Christian McClain, a songwriter and musician, for an exercise that determines someone’s Enneagram type. Mario conducts a typing interview, talking to Christian and asking him questions about his career and family to try to understand who he is. Mario then shares his thought process towards his provisional hypothesis as a result of this conversation.
“I’m getting to know Christian in a different way, which is fun.” -Creek [17:16]
“My goal when I’m talking to people is just to get them to talk. And I don’t care what they talk about or where they go, I just want them to talk.” -Mario [17:53]
“I think putting something and leaving something behind, it sounds silly, because no one knows who I am as an artist. I’m not a big deal, but to know that there is something, a little piece of me, a journal entry that was put to music, to know that that’s out in the world, it’s kind of nice to know that there’s something that would live past you.” -Christian [26:07]

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, María José Munita, Seth "Creek" Creekmore and Lee Fields talk about an exercise they conducted during their recent Instinctual Biases and Subtypes Weekend Workshop. The hosts explain some of the takeaways and common themes they observed from asking the participants to plan a party. Listen as they summarize how this reveals a clear representation of the instinctual biases and insight into the dynamics between them.
“You lose so much in the digital realm. And I think I was just reminded with the workshop of like theory is interesting, but it’s so boring and dead unless you actually get to work with it and observe it and interact in person with it. I think that it just kind of made it come alive to me in a different way.” -Creek [11:10]
“Is this party going to happen? And will it be fun? It’s a complimentary nature that you need all of the pieces to be represented, but different things will be highlighted if that group is solely in charge of the actual outcome.” -Lee [15:52]
“And that’s the main takeaway from all the groups that I’ve worked with, it’s that I can now see the value of having these three domains considered, and I can also see how some of these truly bother me. I look at it and I just find it not compelling, not interesting, not important, but I can understand that it’s important. I can understand that we need to have them all.” - María José [30:07]

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora and María José Munita and Seth "Creek" Creekmore host their first live Q and A podcast, answering questions from their recent Instinctual Biases and Subtypes Weekend Workshop in Nashville.
“I used to get frustrated because our materials would change every time we changed a concept, an idea, the way in which we thought about something. Now I see it as a strength, because it means that we are challenging our own ideas, and not staying stuck into what we think because it’s printed. Because we already taught it. We’re not identified with those ideas.” - María José [26:34]
“I think what I’ve experienced as I’ve come into ATA more is that this model and these words tend to capture a more broader explanation of this phenomena of my human existence. And that doesn’t mean that the others are wrong. I’ve just found personally that this terminology captures more and gives more flexibility for me to have my own personal expression of who it is to be me with my own personal story.” -Creek [27:20]
“Everything we teach applies to every aspect in your life. We just tend to contextualize it in organizational life. And my view is if any idea I have doesn’t pass muster with a critical audience, then I shouldn’t be teaching it. So it’s almost like that’s the litmus test. If it’ll work here, it’ll work anywhere. But it’s really no different than things you would apply in your regular life.” -Mario [37:58]
