[5:00] Enneagram & Its Importance

“Enneagram is a personality typing system that teaches, there are nine basic personality styles in the world, one of which we gravitate toward and adopt and childhood as a way to cope, to protect ourselves and to navigate the new world of relationships.”

“Importantly, each of those nine types has an unconscious motivation that powerfully influences how that personality, habitually and predictably acts, thinks and feels from moment to moment.”

“The key predictor of success in life is self-awareness. It's not just among leaders. It's, it's our entrepreneurs. Self awareness is a key predictor of success in our marriages, in our relationship with our children, with friends, with ourselves, with our higher power.”

“Understanding who you are, how you show up for life, what the motivations, the hidden motivations are that drive our ways of typically acting, thinking, and feeling.”

[19:00] Understanding Others

“The Enneagram provides us with a low resolution picture of the interior world, of yourself and other people.”

“Even if you got 10% more clarity about the inner experience of other people, that's a giant leap forward, a huge leap forward.”

“The amazing thing is that you begin to develop this wisdom in your approach to other people.”

“You also start to learn, “oh, this is how people experience me”’

“I've been able to, in real time, make decisions about how I relate to others, because I know there are types.”

[27:00] Story of you

..”Realizing I can change the story. I have agency and freedom to rewrite the narrative of my life, in a way that I can take responsibility for the story.”

“I can be loved for more than what I do for others”

"Knowing your number is the beginning towards self awareness"

[44:00] Rewriting your story

“You have to change the story you tell yourself.”

“It's about seeing the story that got you there… but it is no longer serving you”

“The healing is learning to take the mask off”
