Unlock the mysteries of the Enneagram with Beatrice Chestnut, Ph.D. - one of the most authoritative voices and thought leaders in the modern Enneagram movement. Discover how the Enneagram's ancient wisdom can serve as a transformative map for understanding your own unconscious patterns and behaviors as she guides us through this fascinating tool for self-awareness and personal growth. We discuss the structure of the nine-pointed Enneagram and its relationship to sacred geometry, and the three centers of intelligence - head, heart and body. Discover why balancing these centers is crucial for achieving personal growth and how identifying your own type can be more complex than just taking a test. Beatrice shares an insightful overview of the nine personality types which comprise a psycho-spiritual map of evolution along with their traits, characteristics and relational dynamics. We also introduce the intriguing concept of the vertical path, a personal development journey within each type from lower to higher levels of consciousness, and explore how cultural influences can shape and sometimes complicate this journey. Join us as we trace the Enneagram's global journey from its ancient roots to the pioneering work of figures like George Gurdjieff, Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo. Explore the relevance of the 27 subtypes, each offering unique pathways for personal growth. Together, we discuss how the Enneagram can powerfully influence our self-understanding and personal evolution, and it's potential to raise global consciousness and contribute to a more connected, self-aware global community.One of the most authoritative voices and thought leaders in the modern Enneagram movement, Beatrice Chestnut, Ph.D., has been studying and working with the enneagram for 27 years.

In this episode, Ruth is joined by our guest this season, Erin Baute! Erin and Ruth discuss the three subtypes or instincts, how they show up in all of us developmentally, and why they are so important to our conversations about developing our own sense of internal safety. They also discuss what it truly means to feel safe and how people have weaponized it to detract from their own behaviors. Over on Patreon, Erin and Colleen sit down to have a conversation that delves deeper into instinct theory, how to determine your own instinct preferences, and what it means to be the “countertype” of your number.   This season we are using the framework of the enneagram, and in particular the ways the 3 instinctual subtypes impact each enneagram number, to help people do the necessary inner work of knowing themselves and managing anxiety, triggers, and stuck patterns so that they can lead others well. This season, we are moving beyond the basics of describing each number type to look at our instincts and what motivates our behaviors. Special guest Erin Baute, a leadership behavior strategist with over 20 years of experience in behavior change and professional development, joins us all season long to help us do this important work.   Erin Baute is a professional business coach and leadership behavior strategist with over 20 years of experience in behavior change and professional development, working with individuals and teams. She has a bachelor's degree in Human Development, a Master of Public Health and a PhD in Organizational Psychology, with a focus on personal and professional development using personality as a framework underway. She has been studying and using Enneagram for 14 years and is a Certified Enneagram Teacher and Trainer and an Accredited Enneagram Professional from the International Enneagram Association (IEA).

Joanna Hagelberger is currently the Vice President of Customer Success at Rhoads Online, a technology provider of compliance solutions to the insurance industry. Her entire professional career has been in the insurance industry with the last 20 years in insurtech. Joanna is passionate about the customer experience, particularly the benefit a strong account management program can bring to an organization and its customers.  In her current role, Joanna is responsible for ensuring customers and prospects are having the best possible experience with Rhoads. Joanna received her BS and MS in Communication from Florida State University, she is a licenced insurance agent in the state of Michigan and she is a certified Executive Coach.    Questions • Could you share with our listeners a little bit about your journey? How it is that you got from where you were to where you are today? • Can you tell our listeners a little bit about Rhoads Online? What is Rhoads Online? And what value do they bring to their customer base? • Could you tell us maybe three things you've seen as recurring themes that come across being more proactive than reactive in the space that you operate in to ensure that you're able to maximize on customer success? • What are maybe one or two things that you believe as an organisation, especially in the insurance industry, specifically, you would need to be focusing on to ensure that you're setting yourself apart and truly giving the customer more than they expect, and kind of living to what you were saying, trying to predict their needs before they know they even need it. • Could you share with our listeners, what's the one online tool, app or website that you absolutely can't live without in your business? • Could you also share with our listeners, any books that you've read, it could be a book that you've read recently, or even one you read a very long time ago, but it has had a great impact on you. • Now Joanna, can you also share with us what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about? Either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. • Where can listeners find you online? • Before we wrap our episodes up, we always like to ask our guests, do you have a quote or saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you will tend to revert to this quote if for any reason you get derailed or you get off track? This quote kind of helps you to get back on track. Do you have one of those? Highlights Joanna's Journey Me: Could you share with our listeners a little bit about your journey? How it is that you got from where you were to where you are today?   Joanna shared that she can tell you that no one as a little girl dreams or as a kid dreams someday I'm going to be working in insurance. So, most people decided, stumble into it somewhere along the way. And hers was a work study position when she was in college as a part of her financial aid, she was given a job working in the Employee Benefits Office at Florida State. And that ended up taking her into their insurance office where they administered their insurance, how their employees got insurance. So, when she got out of grad school, and was looking for a job, she had this insurance knowledge of how the insurance space worked and that landed her with a position of a company that is today known as Willis Towers Watson. It was well as Willis at the time and became just Willis last year, and Madonna. And now has added new names again. So, that has taken her down a path, she's worked for insurance brokers, insurance agencies, insurance companies, third party administrators, she's been on all different sides of the business.  And about 20 years ago, she had the opportunity to jump to the other side of the business, and work in insurance technology, where insurance historically has been a very paper based, manual, difficult industry where everything is delivered by paper, every form is completed with pen and paper. And this company was working to build automation with insurance producers, the people that actually sell the insurance, the insurance agencies and the insurance companies, and how they communicate with the State Departments of Insurance. And that's pretty much how she ended up where she is today, just have grown over time.   What is Rhoads Online? Me: Can you tell our listeners a little bit about Rhoads Online? What is Rhoads Online? And what value do they bring to their customer base?   Joanna shared that just as she said that that insurtech that she went to 20 years ago, Rhoads is in that same space. So, what they do is help insurance companies and agencies predominantly connect those insurance producers, the people that are selling insurance, get them contracted, and make sure that they are appropriately licensed and credentialed to sell the insurance that they're selling before they do. Because if an individual sells a policy and they are not properly credentialed, they don't have all of the licenses contracts, and the insurance company hasn't told the state that that person is selling for them, then the insurance company gets in trouble. So, making that all of those ducks are in a row and everything is in order, it keeps the insurance company off the front page of the Wall Street Journal and allows them to sell compliantly and make sure that the consumer is protected when they do it.   Being Proactive Than Reactive to Ensure You Maximize on Customer Success  Me: Now, a big part of what you do is customer success. And of course, that's typically ensuring that the client is getting exactly what they want and desire. Not sure if this is a call that you made, or it's just something that you live by as a mantra, but it states, “You can't just be reactive, you have to be proactive, predicting their needs before they even realize it.” So, could you tell us maybe three things you've seen as recurring themes that come across being more proactive than reactive in the space that you operate in to ensure that you're able to maximize on customer success?   Joanna shared that she thinks this is in any industry, it's not specific to what she does. But customer service to her is something that is tactical and reactive. If you think about customer service, and customer service is something we all interact with, probably with a little bit of dread and we hope that it's a good experience that we're opening a Chatbot or we're sending in an email or opening a ticket, or calling an 800 number. And we hope that for whatever reason we're calling that number that whatever the issue is, is resolved. We want it to be resolved quickly and painlessly and to whatever satisfaction we hoped it would be.   And again, it's very reactive, it is in response to whatever I as the consumer is bringing forward to that company, or as the customer, if it's B2B or B2C, it doesn't matter, customer service is about fixing that one little thing that the person calling in has announced needs fixing. Where customers success to her is, is the opposite of that. It isn't reactive, and it isn't tactical. The important thing is that we're being proactive, that we're getting in front of the customer, and being intentional about having strategic conversations. Because as the company is moving forward, and as they're growing, they want to make sure that that path forward and that growth is aligned with the path forward and the growth of their customers.  If their development team builds a brand new piece of functionality, and no one uses it, then that has been a waste of time of their development team number one, but also the opportunity costs that's lost, because they didn't build something that their customers would have really liked, what they would have used and what they would have needed. So, it is all about being proactive, and being strategic. And what she means by strategic is simply looking further ahead. It's not what's happening in the moment right now, it's where are we going together and making sure that those things stay aligned as they continue to move forward.  Because what her goals are and what she's trying to accomplish in six months, a year, three years, five years, those are going to keep changing as time moves forward. So, making sure that they keep having those conversations, leaving those lines of communication open, sharing what's going on in the industry, and what's going on in their customers' business, as well as what's going on in her business, that's how they all move forward and stay aligned.   Organization Setting Themselves Apart and Giving Customers More Than They Expect Me: Now, you've been an insurance for over two decades, Joanna, and I'm sure you've seen lots of ups and downs, hills and gullies kind of thing. But in your own experience, especially as we're moving forward embarking on a new calendar year, what are maybe one or two things that you believe as an organization, especially in the insurance industry, specifically, you would need to be focusing on to ensure that you're setting yourself apart and truly giving the customer more than they expect, and kind of living to what you were saying, trying to predict their needs before they know they even need it.   Joanna stated that she really thinks the big thing, especially in the insurance industry, is that the Googles and Amazons of the world have set an expectation for across all industries, that technology is easy to use that “I should be able to get the answers to my questions with the click of a button and with the phone that's in my hand, I shouldn't have to go to the horror, a real computer, I should be able to from a mobile device, be able to do anything that I should need to be able to do with any business partner of mine from my phone.” So, she really thinks that that expectation is where the insurance industry needs to focus.  There's so much talk about AI and Blockchain and Chatbots and all of the magical technology that's out there. But if we can't meet the basic table stakes of being able to get a quote for insurance from her phone, then that insurance company will not be able to succeed. If she is standing on the side of the road and I live in Michigan in certain times of the year and they hit deer, it happens and if she's on the side of the road because she's just hit a deer or had any kind of an accident. If she can't pull out her phone and initiate that claim from her phone, she's not going to stay with that insurance company because they haven't met her need when she needed them. So, being able to meet those basic needs from core technology is where the insurance industry needs to focus right now.    App, Website or Tool that Joanna Absolutely Can't Live Without in Her Business When asked about an online resource that she cannot live without in her business, Joanna shared that she has a couple. Because of what she does, the CRM that they use, that's how she keeps her pulse on what's going on in their business. So, they happen to use Salesforce. But she's used HubSpot in the past, and there are other great CRMs out there. But the most important thing is having one central repository to be able to see everything that's going on to the lifecycle of your customer. If you're working in customer experience and you can't see what's going on with your customers, and you're trying to use an Excel spreadsheet or some other form of technology, there's just no way to get that 360 degree view. But personally, within customer success, there is an amazing website called kapta.com. And kapta.com is a technology that integrates with your CRM, not what she's endorsing here, she's sure it's great, but she's not actually used that technology, but the number of resources that Kapta has on their website to help people that work in key account management, whatever form of that that is you work in, they have so many resources available to help account managers be successful with their customers, and to help organisations and leaders know how to help their account managers be successful. So, Kapta is amazing.  And then specifically in her industry, insurtech Connect, ITC has a six things newsletter that is just incredible. It keeps you informed of everything that could be going on in the insurance industry that has anything to do with technology. And it's an interesting read for anyone.   Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Joanna When asked about books that have had a great impact her, Joanna shared that there are two that she finds herself going back to over and over and over again. And the first one is Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek, it helps from an organizational perspective, as well as on an individual perspective. Whether you're working with customers, with employees, “Knowing the Why of why you do what you do.”  And a common theme in her world is, it's not about you. It's not about her, it's not about what she's doing. It's about the customer, and it's about the employee and why they do what they do. And if we can be other focus and know why people are motivated to do the things that they do. And to know what our Why is and why we get up each morning and why we're helping our customers and why these things matter. She's listened to Simon's podcast, and it's just brilliant. And that all started with Start with Why for her. The second one is a book called Unleashed: The Unapologetic Leader's Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You, it's by Anne Morriss and Frances Frei. And it's all about empowerment, and when you're working in account management or customer success or customer service, this is a tough job, it's a tough job where the people in this space spend a lot of time getting yelled at oftentimes, and they're trying to make the customer's world a better place. And when you can come from a perspective of empowering those people to be successful, to have the ability to make the decisions that makes the customer's world a better place, it's better for the customer, it's better for the company, and it's better for the human that gets to make those decisions. If they sit there all day every day saying, “I'm sorry, I don't know. But I'll check on that and get back to you.” That's a very difficult space to be in. So, being able to empower people is their greatest version of themselves, it's really powerful and it's really a game changer.   What Joanna is Really Excited About Now! When asked about something she's really excited about, Joanna shared that this year, she got the opportunity to spend some time really diving into the Enneagram. And if the listeners aren't familiar with the Enneagram, it's a personality assessment type of profile that looks at why people behave the way that they do. So, Enneagram have types, you do an assessment, it gives you a direction on what your type may be. And then you do some more homework and you confirm that that is your type.  And Beatrice Chestnut, wrote a book called The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge. And she's really had the opportunity to pour into that and what she loves about it is it doesn't matter what part of your life you're looking at, whether it's about your employees, your boss, your co-worker, any other co-workers, your spouse, your kids, family members, customers, it doesn't matter, being able to get insight into what charges people up, what gets them to behave the way that they do. And then when they're doing well, why you might see some other characteristics where when they're feeling stressed, or things are difficult, you can look for other traits that might come in. It has been incredibly insightful, and she feels like reading Beatrice's book has been a college level course on this. But the amount of insight that it's given into people. And then the other thing that is maybe a little bit more approachable to people rather than reading a giant textbook is Ian Cron has a podcast called Typology that is just fascinating, where he talks to people with different Enneagram types, and about how they interact with the world. And it's just fascinating and it's been so much fun to learn this year.   Where Can We Find Joanna Online LinkedIn – Joanna-Hagelberger Website – www.rhoadsonline.com   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Joanna Uses  When asked about a quote or saying that she tends to revert to, Joanna shared that she does have, Maya Angelou, which she's sure many of our guests have quoted, because she's very quotable. This is how she hears it in her head is that, “People will forget what you said and did but people will never forget how you made them feel.” And she feels like when we're dealing, this is all about customer experience. And if we can just remember that how we make our customers feel and how they experience us makes all the difference in the world.    Me: Amazing. Thank you so much, Joanna, for taking time out of your very busy schedule, and hopping on this podcast with us today and sharing all of the great insights that you've learned and just best practices that you've taken on as an individual as a customer service practitioner in your own right, especially in your industry. And just looking at some opportunities that we can strengthen, building out our customer success teams and actually giving customers as you had stated earlier, giving them what they need before they even know that they need it and I thought that was really brilliant.

Have you been thinking about a change in your career? Or a pull in a new direction with your business? Inside this unofficial Season 2 finale...For the curious, you'll hear about some of the reasoning behind the recent changes to the Enneagram MBA brand - from the colors, to new offers, from a new website, to the social media strategy. And for anyone looking to make changes in their own career, business, or life in general, tune in to hear about the specific pieces of my type (7) and subtype (Social or Navigating) I used to let go of some old ways and more confidently embrace and move forward in a more aligned direction. I hesitate to say "new" or "pivot" because these changes feel more like a natural evolution, but the insight I took into consideration with the Enneagram helping me hold up a mirror, made me more confident about the changes and the timing. Even if we have different Enneagram types and subtypes, the intention for this episode is A) give you insight into the brand and what to expect so you can decide to stick around or not (of course I hope you do!) and B) to further study your own dominant type and subtype to see what clarity and direction they might offer in your own upcoming changes.

On this episode of Is That Like a Thing, we're talking all things Enneagram! If you've listened to the podcast before, you know how much we LOVE this self-awareness tool and today we want to talk about how we use it just like that - as a TOOL. You will hear us say things like, “The enneagram is not the gospel” or “the enneagram is not what does the transformative work”. We want to share how WE have all used it in our walk with Christ, but we also wanted to bring in an expert to share how to discover your type, why it matters, and how it can help you to dive into how God has made all of us in His own image. Our guest, Mallory Freidreck,  is a certified Enneagram Coach/Consultant and Speaker. She lives in the Houston area with her husband, two kids and German Shepherd puppy. Mallory  graduated with a BA in Music from Sam Houston State University and it was there that she learned to use her voice, first as a musician, and eventually as a leader. Mallory loves teaching and mentoring, and is passionate about authentic and grace-giving leadership. She has worn many leadership hats, including hospice chaplain, worship leader, piano teacher, wife and mom, church staff member, spiritual mentor, and Bible teacher. She loves helping people find their own voice, their inherent value, and their seat at the table. Mallory believes that there is something really beautiful in silencing the lies of the enemy so that you can live as the complete person God made you to be.  That is why she loves the Enneagram so much. She says, “it is a tool I have used personally and professionally to live and lead freely. It often makes its way into conversations I have with people, and my favorite part is finding the Lord's invitation to freedom for someone that comes from their unique Imago Dei, they way they were created to reflect of the image of God.” We are so excited to introduce you to our friend, Mallory.You can find Mallory on her website at www.mallorybeth.com. Thanks for joining us on this episode of Is That Like a Thing!

Everyone has heard of the Myers Briggs personality type indicator and I'm sure most of you have heard of Jungian psychology. (+Jungian typology) But what about The Enneagram? It is another system of personality typing that helps understand how people interpret the world and their emotions. It describes nine personality types based on their core beliefs, desires and fears. What's different about the Enneagram is that you and only you can figure out what type you are. Because the Enneagram is based on motivations and not behaviors, it allows you to discover parts of yourself that you may not have known (or wanted to admit) existed. On Blooming Beyond Borders, the focus is on personal growth, so I'm always looking for interesting topics that challenge us and help us grow; the Enneagram is by far one of the most useful tools for doing just that. Join me and my dear friends Esther Duncan and Turiya Warman in discussing all of the Enneagram basics you'll need to understand in order to start your self discovery journey. In this episode, we go through some general questions people may have about this personality typing system. How does it work? How do we become our personality types, and can they change over time? Turiya and Esther also go into each personality type (6-9 on this part TWO) so that you have a better understanding of all 9 types' core fears, desires, traits, and more. Let's get blooming with the Enneagram!

The Enneagram can be a useful tool for understanding the different ways in which people perceive the world, but how can it apply to critical thinking? Leslie Hershberger has a unique blend of wisdom, practical training, and insight. She has worked with the three-centered Enneagram approach for over 20 years as a consultant, master teacher, coach, spiritual guide, facilitator, and mentor. She’s certified in The Narrative Tradition and in Enneagram in Business and has served on the board of the International Enneagram Association. Leslie talks about how critical thinking shows up in each of the nine Enneagram types. Some of this conversation gets into the weeds of the Enneagram system, but if you stick with it you will come away with a greater understanding of the ways people sort the world.

Enneagram expert Jordan Jones talks with my daughter Ellie Hiller, an enneagram 3, to help her determine her wing.   What is an enneagram wing? The wing is the number either before your enneagram type or after. It flanks your enneagram type number. For example, an enneagram 3 will be either a wing 2 (helper) or wing 3 (individualist). In this episode, I talk with Jordan Jones, our Enneagram expert, to discover my daughter's Enneagram wing and subtype. Ellie Hiller is very much an Enneagram 3, but she can't decide if she's more of a wing 2 or a wing 4. If you're an Enneagram 3 and can't decide your wing, then this episode is sure to help! Originally, Ellie thought her wing was a 2 since she is a nurse. However, Ellie discusses how she believes being a twin could have influenced her to have 4 tendencies. She finds herself wanting to distinguish herself from the crowd and desires to be viewed as unique, which are signs of a 4 on the Enneagram. Ellie also seeks to find out what her Enneagram subtype is. We discuss her need to receive outward validation and recognition for her hard work, and what that could mean regarding her subtype.  Resources Related to this Podcast: Key points discussed in this podcast. Ellie knows she is a 3, but can't determine if she's a 3w2 or 3w4. She thought she might lean w2 because she is a nurse. However, she likes to distinguish herself and be different, making her think she is a 4 Being a twin has made her want to be different and want to distinguish herself from her twin sister. Ellie strives for excellence and achievements, and that's how she views herself as different. She has a competitive spirit. She loves outward validation and recognition of her hard work.  Not sure about her subtype (social, sexual or self preservation). Jordan recommend Ellie read about her type in The Complete Enneagram book by Beatrice Chestnut The Complete Enneagram by Beatrice Chestnut, PhD

As a psychologist, I have seen many personality typing systems but the one that has impressed me most so far is the Enneagram. A big reason I like it so much is because of its depth and ability to inform people of blind spots in a shockingly efficient manner. I have seen firsthand how the Enneagram can help people improve their careers, their relationships, and even how they relate to themselves. To help us understand the Enneagram better, I called on one of the top experts in the world, Dr. Beatrice Chestnut (https://beatricechestnut.com/). Bea is a psychotherapist, coach, and business consultant based in San Francisco. She holds graduate degrees in communication and clinical psychology and is the author of the books, The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge and The 9 Types of Leadership: Mastering the Art of People in the 21st century Workplace. She also served as president of the International Enneagram Association in 2006 and 2007. A dedicated student of the Enneagram for over 30 years, she currently offers Enneagram workshops internationally through Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy, the school she co-founded with Uranio Paes. In their work around the world, Bea and Uranio focus on using the Enneagram as a tool for personal and professional transformation.

The following test, tools and questions will help you know what number (and wing) you are on the enneagram.   Knowing Your Enneagram Number Can Change Your Life For Christmas several years ago, my mother-in-law gave everyone in our family a copy of The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self Discovery.  Literally everyone in the family dove into the book and became intrigued with discovering our types. With the help of our family member Jordan Jones, we are all now clear on our types. Now, we understand and relate to one another from the lens of our types. Some specific examples:       Finding Your Enneagram Number is a Process Finding your enneagram number or type is easier for some than others. Although a few folks might score heavily in one number on a test, most of us need exploration to determine our type. For most of us, determining our enneagram type is a journey. A process. A path of exploration and introspection.     Steps to Finding Your Enneagram Number Start By Taking an Enneagram Test There are myriad enneagram type tests online. Some are free; some are paid.  Jordan advises starting with the free test below to get an idea of where you might land on the enneagram type spectrum. I am including a Myers-Briggs test as an added bonus for those who want to know your MB type as well. Enneagram test: https://www.9types.com/rheti/index.php Myers-Briggs free test: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp Read Enneagram Type Descriptions Once you have an idea of your top 2-3 enneagram types, reading descriptions of each type can help you narrow down even further. There are several places to find good descriptions. In Ian Cron's The Road Back to You, you'll find descriptions titled "What it's like to be a _____" that precede that specific type's chapter. Reading these numbered items and checking off ones that apply to you can be helpful in nailing your number. Beatrice Chestnut's, The Complete Enneagram, has an a fabulous appendix. In Help With Identifying Your Enneagram Type: Discerning the Difference Between Pairs and Types, you'll see the differences and similarities between types. Example: 7's and 8's are similar, but this book points out subtle nuances that help differentiate the two. Narrow Down Your Number By Understanding Triads Another way to narrow down your number is to look at the triads that make up the enneagram. Descriptions of each type sometimes focus more on behavior; triads look at motivations for behavior.   In The Road Back to You Study Guide,  Ian Cron    shares the 3 triads and which enneagram types fall into each.  In trying to determine your number, look at the triads and how certain numbers tend to react by default in certain situations. The Gut Triad. Types 8 (challenger) 9 (peacemaker) and 1 (perfectionist). First impulse~do something. Tendency~act before thinking. Underlying emotion~anger. The Heart Triad. Types 2 (helper) 3 (performer) 4 (romantic). First impulse~feel something. Tendency~be overly emotional. Underlying emotion~shame. The Head Triad. Type 5 (investigator) 6 (loyalist) and 7 (enthusiast). First impulse~think and plan. Tendency~to overthink.  Underlying emotion~fear.   How to Find Your Enneagram Wing Once you find your enneagram number, you can then move on to finding your "wing." This number will be flanking your enneagram number. For example, if you are an enneagram 5, you will have a wing 4 or a wing 6. If you are an enneagram 9, your wing will be either a 1 or 8. In some cases, people are "balanced wings" with equal influence from both sides.   Please note that I am NOT an enneagram expert (but Jordan is:-). I just love the enneagram and all that we can learn from it to grow personally and relationally.

I've received lots of emails and messages from folks on social media who are struggling to nail down their Enneagram number. Well, let me tell you, if that's the case for you, this show is spot on. While only you can determine your own type, there are some things you can do to help get clarity.  For those out there who are trying to figure out their type it's often helpful to read up on wings.  Wings are the number on either side of your number.  Each of these wings will have a different influence on your type.  I would also encourage folks to go to Beatrice Chestnut's book, The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge and go through the section where she describes the different subtypes.  This will really provide some insight and help you nail down that number. But, what does it look like when that process comes to life? On today's show we break it down with Enneagram skeptic, Matt Carter. Matt Carter is a musician, podcaster, and entrepreneur based in Seattle, WA.   His career in the music industry began as lead guitarist of the post-punk/hardcore band Emery. His background as a touring musician laid a foundation for various collaborative ventures, including the founding of BadChristian Media and Jabberjaw Media. Matt hosts the wildly popular The BadChristian Podcast and Break it Down Podcast. He continues to tour and perform in Emery and Matt & Toby. When we started the show, we had no idea where the interview would take us. And, let me warn you in advance, this show is unlike any I've done in the past. In fact, it was so cool that when we wrapped up, Anthony and I were so psyched we laughed out loud.  So, strap yourselves in, put on your crash helmets, and let's get to it.

A few weeks ago, renowned Enneagram teacher and author Dr. Beatrice Chestnut joined me on our show to discuss how Enneagram Twos see and relate to the world. Beatrice was so great that we were flooded with requests to have her on again, and thankfully she agreed or we would've had a mutiny on our hands! On this episode Beatrice and I tackle the question “How do I use the Enneagram as a tool for personal and spiritual transformation?” It's a great question. Information isn't transformation. If you want to use the Enneagram as a blueprint for change then knowing your number is only the first step. So today Beatrice and I discuss a few of the many next steps we can take to bring about positive change in our lives through using the Enneagram. A student of the Enneagram system of personality since 1990 and a past president of the International Enneagram Association, Beatrice is the author of my all-time favorite Enneagram book, The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge. So, take a seat, put your napkin on your lap, and get ready for a feast of Enneagram wisdom! ---- To download a PDF of a chapter from Ian's book called Finding Your Type, visit TypologyPodcast.com.

Enneagram Twos are some of the most caring, kind, supportive, upbeat, and tenderhearted people on God's good green earth. Three of my closest friends are Twos, and together they radiate enough love and generosity of spirit to heat a metroplex. In Enneagram-speak they're called The Helpers. On today's episode, I'm joined by renowned Enneagram teacher, author, consultant, and Enneagram Two, Dr. Beatrice Chestnut Ph.D.  A student of the Enneagram system of personality since 1990, she is the author of my all-time favorite Enneagram book, The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge. Enneagram Twos are far more complicated than they appear at first glance. Who better to describe what it's like to be a Helper than a Black-belt Enneagram expert and teacher. Beatrice was so good we decided to record two shows with her! Whether you're a Two or not, this show contains so much insight into the Enneagram it will blow your mind! Beatrice has taught at Northwestern University and was trained in group facilitation at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. She served as President of the International Enneagram Association from 2006-2007 and teaches workshops on the Enneagram internationally, focusing on using it as a tool for leadership development and personal transformation.
