These types are primarily driven by their thoughts and have a strong desire for knowledge, understanding, and intellectual stimulation. They rely on logical reasoning and their minds when making decisions.The feeling center includes types two, three, and four. These types are driven by their emotions and seek connection, validation, and personal significance. They are in touch with their feelings and are often sensitive to the emotions of others.The instinctual center comprises types eight, nine, and one. These types are driven by their instincts and have a desire for control, justice, independence, and peace. They are more focused on the present moment and excel in handling crises or tactical situations.It's important to note that while each center of intelligence has a general core motive, the specific manifestations of these motives can vary greatly among the types within each center. Understanding the three centers of intelligence in the Enneagram can greatly benefit individuals in their roles as leaders, parents, and partners. By recognizing their own core motives and understanding the motives of the other eight types and the other two centers of intelligence, individuals can grow and develop personally and as leaders. This understanding allows them to embrace different perspectives and operate more effectively in various situations.Connect with Tracy:Tracy's Website http://tracyomalley.com/ Tracy on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tracy_omalley/ Tracy on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/tracy.omalley Tracy on Twitter https://twitter.com/TracyOMall Tracy on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-o-malley/Resources:Attend Tracy's Enneagram Group Workshop https://www.tracyomalley.com/workshop Access Tracy's Enneagram Blueprint https://www.tracyomalley.com/workwithmeUsing Your Stress Number to Eliminate Shame & Self-Sabotage on Lead with the Enneagram EP356 https://open.spotify.com/episode/111YMhtJjtw4sgBsN4fHs7 Book a Power Session with Tracy http://tracyomalley.com/workwithme/Learn More About Tracy's Enneagram Team Dynamics Workshop https://www.tracyomalley.com/workwithme Book a Partner Session with Tracy https://www.tracyomalley.com/workwithmeApply for 1:1 Coaching with Tracy https://www.tracyomalley.com/workwithmeEmail info@tracyomalley.com

Könnt ihr euch an eure Ausbildungszeit erinnern? An den Typen, der nur mit mit seinem Mund die Geräusche von Hubschraubern und Funkgeräten imitieren konnte? Oder an den Waffennarr, der alle Probleme mit seiner Magnus löste? Wir auch nicht! Aber wenn man den Academy-Filmen der 80er und 90er glauben darf, gab es in jeder Klasse mindestens ein paar Menschen mit cartoonhaften Fähigkeiten und/oder Eigenschaften. Etabliert wurde dieser Trend zweifelsohne durch die erfolgreichen Filme der Police-Academy-Filme. Doch als hauptberufliche Masochisten kämpfen wir uns nicht durch die Police-Academy-Reihe, sondern durch ihre zahlreichen Nachahmer. So lernen wir unter Anderem das Einbalsamieren von Leichen auf der Mortuary-Academy, Selbstverteidigung auf der Ninja-Academy und legen eine heiße Sohle aufs Parkett der Dance Academy. Mit uns drückt unser treuer Hörer Ronny die Schulbank, der sogleich von uns in unser MdaVs-Freundebuch aufgenommen wird. Ob Ronny, der selbst über „die Römische Kanone“ lachen konnte, bei den vorliegenden Police-Academy-Ripoffs erfahrt in dieser Folge! ---------

Elevation Dance Academy

In this week's episode, I sat down with actress, singer, dancer and international DJ, Dena Amy. Best known for her role as Abigail in the Netflix series Dance Academy and playing to thousands of people at Coachella, Dena's life on the outside looked like a dream. But the truth was, Dena was self-medicating with prescription pills to ease the pressure of life as a global performer. After realising she'd developed an addiction to Xanax, Dena set about her long and often painful journey to recovery which has spanned the last six years. Today, Dena is over 12 months clean and is just a couple of weeks away from starting her next big journey into motherhood. Some of the topics we cover in this conversation include: The dark side of show business – 7:00 The impact of childhood trauma – 15:50 Benzos and World Tours – 21:00 The nightmare of withdrawal – 28:32 Holistic Healing – 36:30 Life after rehab – 40:15 To see Dena's Behind The Smile photo, head to Ash's website.

Today's episode is with my good friend Josef Brown! Josef's professional career began as a Soloist with The Australian Ballet in 1994 before joining Sydney Dance Company in 1997. Then Josef's career pivoted towards acting when he took on the role of 'Johnny Castle' in the original stage adaptation of Dirty Dancing which toured throughout Australia and New Zealand. He was even part of the opening on London's West End and toured throughout the United States as part of the pre-Broadway tour completing 1500+ shows over 4.5 years. Incredible! Josef then returned to Australia to take on the role of 'Patrick' in the multi-Logie Award winning series Dance Academy, 'Dale Canning' on Home & Away, 'Auctus' in Spartacus - Gods of the Arena and 'Daniel' in Sam's Story before playing 'Matt Turner' for over two years on the beloved Aussie drama, Neighbours. ​This is why his face might be familiar to many of you! In fact, when I met up with Josef for our interview in Sydney a couple of months ago, I posted a photo of us on social media and very quickly got a text from my partner saying, "Why are you hanging out with Matt Turner the cop from Neighbours?" Josef also has many writing and producing credits for various webisodes, ABC TV documentaries and was a sitting member of the NSW Ministry of the Arts Dance Board. He's one talented and exceptional artist with brilliant professionalism in dance and business. Speaking of business, Josef is now the Relations & Development Director at one of my favourite dance brands ever... MDM! And this is how we became friends. In fact, he is the voice behind the MDM sponsorship ads you may have heard in previous episodes. Just for fun I'm going to play it again for this episode, not because MDM are sponsoring this episode or Josef's and my chat, but because I just love Josef, the MDM team and their products. We have a long, but super interesting chat that I'm sure many of you will enjoy, so let's get straight into it... Say hello on instagram... @balancedballerinas @thebalanceballerina www.balancedballerinas.com
