The Enneagram

What is the Enneagram?

The Enneagram is more than just a personality test—it’s a powerful tool for self-discovery and growth. It describes nine distinct personality types, each shaped by a core fear, a core desire, and an unconscious belief about what makes them lovable and worthy.

Rather than putting you in a box, the Enneagram shows you the box you’re already in—and more importantly, how to step outside of it. Each type is interconnected, revealing not only your strengths and motivators but also the patterns that can hold you back. It also maps out how we respond in times of stress and growth, giving us a clearer path toward our healthiest selves.

Why Knowing Your Type Matters

When you understand your Enneagram type, you unlock valuable insights about:

• Communication – Learn why you say what you say (and why others may hear it differently).

• Relationships – Recognize recurring patterns, deepen empathy, and create stronger, more authentic connections.

• Work & Leadership – Understand your natural leadership style, identify blind spots, and overcome the hurdles that keep you from thriving at work.

• Personal Growth – Spot the unconscious stories that drive your behavior, and replace self-limiting beliefs with empowering ones.

Why Knowing Others’ Types Matters

The Enneagram isn’t just about you—it’s about understanding the people around you. Knowing the types of your partner, friends, coworkers, or even your boss helps you:

• Appreciate different perspectives.

• Navigate conflict with compassion and clarity.

• Build trust and teamwork through empathy instead of assumption.

In short, the Enneagram gives you a roadmap for better communication, healthier relationships, and a clearer sense of direction in your personal and professional life.
