Discover the Power of the Enneagram
Have you ever wondered why you react the way you do to certain situations or why some tasks feel more fulfilling than others?
The Enneagram is not just another personality typing tool, it’s a framework for unlocking deeper levels of self-awareness and personal growth. In this journey, you’ll explore how the Enneagram can guide you to focus on a clearer vision for your life and the critical steps required to make desired changes.
What is the Enneagram?
At its core, the Enneagram is a dynamic system that outlines nine distinct personality types, each with its unique perspective on the world.
Press The Start Button
As we enter the new year, many focus on starting fresh, making positive changes, and seizing new opportunities.
If you are like me, perhaps you’ve set goals, selected a word for the year, and have been reflecting on setting intentions for the year ahead. Perhaps you’ve had an amazing 2023 and you’ve never been more energized about creating what comes next.
The Enneagram – The change you want

Others describe in vivid detail their visions for achieving a harmonious balance between work and personal life. Exploring not only what it would look and feel like but also diving into explaining why achieving this balance is so important to them.For many, this question sparks reflections on legacy — the impact they wish to leave behind, the lives they aim to touch, and the positive changes they desire to create in their communities or industries. And then there are those who dream of experiences — immersive travels, learning new skills, or simply creating cherished memories with loved ones.
Feeling Stuck
Feel like your career has plateaued, and you’re dragging yourself into work every day? Looking for a fresh start in 2023?
Maybe you’ve lost your spark and passion for what you do and just can’t figure out why or what is behind it.
PERSONAL GROWTH BEGINS WITH PERMISSION
Normally, when we think of permission we think of permission slips for school. But, I want us to think of permission for our own personal growth.
Where to in 2022?
Well, in my last blog, I suggested you start making a list of your accomplishments in 2021 as you begin to think about your goals for 2022. As a reminder, here are some questions I gave you to consider as part of the process.
What Does Your Ideal Future Look and Feel Like?
It is a very nuanced question when you begin to explore it further. It requires thought around what you want to be doing, how much income you need to earn, and how you want to achieve a work-life balance.
What Comes Next vs. Where to Next?
There is a subtle difference between these two questions as one speaks to a passive vs. active approach to managing your career and your life. Are you the type of person who is more comfortable keeping your head down
