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.

If you've been listening to Brave Women at Work for a while, you know that I love the Enneagram. If you're new to the show, welcome to my obsession. The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system, and it helps us better understand ourselves and others in the world. My guest today, Erin Baute, is an expert on the Enneagram and is even writing her PhD thesis on the topic. During my conversation with Erin, we discussed: 1. What the Enneagram is and how it's different than other personality assessments 2. The Enneagram numbers between 1-9 3.

If you've been listening to Brave Women at Work for a while, you know that I love the Enneagram. If you're new to the show, welcome to my obsession. The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system, and it helps us better understand ourselves and others in the world. My guest today, Erin Baute, is an expert on the Enneagram and is even writing her PhD thesis on the topic. During my conversation with Erin, we discussed: 1. What the Enneagram is and how it's different than other personality assessments 2. The Enneagram numbers between 1-9 3. The differences between the primary type, the dominant wing and the dominant subtype 4. The instincts of the Enneagram - preservation, social and relational 5.

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!

Listen at 7:00.Link to Mallory's Enneagram Diagram One of the very best ways to find out what type you are is to read about it. The Road Back to You is a great place to start.Social StancesAggressive (8, 3, 7) - Move independently through the world but others may experience it as being aggressive. Future oriented.Withdrawn (4, 5, 9) - Move independently through the world but other people experience that as being withdrawn.  Past oriented.Dependent (6, 1, 2) - Move dependently through the world but others may experience it as getting distracted. Present oriented.Centers of Intelligence - every person is dominant in one of these centers and every person is repressed in one of these centersHeart (2, 3, 4)Mind (5, 6, 7)Body (8, 9, 1)Survival instincts (Sub Types) -  every person is dominant in one of these instincts but we all have access to every instinctSelf - PreservationSocial InstinctSexual Instinct (Intimate one on one relationships)Your main type doesn't change, but your subtype will change because in different seasons of your life you need access to different survival instincts.Great book for subtypes - “The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge” by Beatrice Chestnutt (SECULAR RESOURCE)FAVORITE QUOTES: “The Enneagram really focuses on WHY you do what you do.” - Mallory“Where other type tests put you IN a box, the Enneagram helps you find your way OUT of that box.” - Mallory “The enneagram is not the gospel, but it is a tool in our toolbox that God has given us" -Becky

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. Listen in as Bea and I go deep and one of the fastest tools to self-knowledge: The Enneagram.

Why are subtypes so key? In this episode, Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes discuss why subtypes are so important when figuring out your type or even typing your clients. They also go through all 27 subtypes in the enneagram and talk about how Bea brought to light the important work of Claudio Naranjo through her book, The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge.

What do you know about the Enneagram? Where did it start? What does it mean? How can we use it? Does it have any place in our spiritual lives or is it all just a fad? Annie Diamond is an Enneagram Coach who teaches from the Narrative Method and in this episodes she explains the ins and outs of the Enneagram including it’s very early origins from the “9 Deadly Sins”. Annie discusses how every number has a “sin” or a “fixation” which can pull them away from God or others around them, and how noticing these fixations can help recenter and realign our thoughts, emotions and actions. In addition to these fixations, each number also has a door to the “higher self”, the part of the self that allows us to fully step into who God created us to be. Annie leads us through a thoughtful discussion about each these crucial aspects of the Enneagram and how it can make a big impact in our lives. If you’d like to know more about Annie, you can visit her website at: https://www.enneagramforwholeness.com or on instagram at @enneagramforwholeness The book she recommends to get started on the topic is called “The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge” by Beatrice Chestnut Learn more about the VOX Podcast: www.voxpodcast.com Subscribe on iTunes - apple.co/1Lla1Nj Support the VOX Podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/voxpodcast Follow us on Instagram: @voxpodcast Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/voxpodcast Follow Mike on Twitter: www.twitter.com/mikeerre Music in this episode by Timothy John Stafford www.timothyjohnstafford.com Instagram & Twitter: @GoneTimothy

As mother and daughter, Earlene Fowler and Denée King share a lifetime of being told ‘the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree’ or ‘they’re two peas in a pod’! But the Enneagram brought to light why their reactions to being told by those in authority that they could no longer be a part of the only church community they had ever been a part of, we're so very different. In Part 1 of this two-part series we share what it’s like to experience life from our own unique ‘typologies’ or Enneagram numbers. We will set the groundwork for why our reactions to one of the most emotionally traumatic events in our lives, leaving the traditional religious community of our family, were so very different.   Resources: Ian Cron, - "The Road Back to You" https://www.amazon.com/Road-Back-You-Enneagram-Self-Discovery/dp/0830846190/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+road+back+to+you&qid=1565039733&s=gateway&sr=8-1   Beatrice Chestnut, PhD - "The Complete Enneagram, 27 Paths to Greater Self Knowledge"   https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Enneagram-Paths-Greater-Self-Knowledge/dp/1938314549/ref=sr_1_1?crid=B4EIYROJNP5U&keywords=beatrice+chestnut+27&qid=1565039766&s=gateway&sprefix=beatrice+c%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-1

[29:07] - For a listener who wants to find out their type, Meg shares a website she recommends where you can go to take a test to determine your type.

The Enneagram is an ancient tool that shows where your focus of attention goes. When used correctly, the Enneagram can be used to get to know yourself, allowing you to create Fresh Tracks from a place of strength. In this episode I speak with Beatrice Chestnut, who shares that understanding the habitual patterns of your personality and where your attention goes can be essential to your personal growth and development. Your focus of attention is often a coping strategy and understanding where it goes, as well as what you avoid focusing on, will help you become a better leader of yourself. Getting to know aspects of yourself that you can’t see is important to understanding where you are now in life. Can you identify what have you been doing that works and what have you been doing that isn’t working? The Enneagram helps in identifying what motivates you and highlights your blind spots. It can also assist in identifying tools you might add to your toolkit to more easily accomplish your goals. Show Notes: 3:40 – What is the Enneagram and why is it a powerful tool? 7:30 – How to use the Enneagram to understand what gets between you and a better life. 10:20 –Identify unsupportive patterns so you can determine what strategies to add to your toolkit to grow. 16:30 – Understand the role emotional intelligence plays in achieving success (EQ). 22:00 – Examples of how the Enneagram can help you work through obstacles. 27:00 – What it means to be a leader and how we get stuck in unsupportive habits because we don’t recognize what’s blocking us.

    In episode 6, Angela and her special guest co-host, Emily Chen sit with Linda Pino to broadly discuss the Enneagram Personality Typing System. They discuss how the system can be treated as superficially as a parlor game or as it is really intended - as a deep and transformative personal healing and spiritual journey. Linda expertly guides the listeners through the three centers of intelligence as well as breaking down each component of the individual personality types including their gifts and challenges.

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.
