In this episode we talk about honesty and authenticity.  And then we unpack how the Enneagram Type One can connect to God through a downstream and upstream practice.  We also discuss how The One longs to be good in a world that isn't always good.

Type One's don't have to fix it all but they can be connected to faith in Jesus which allows them to be a part of renewing everything.

Ever been caught in a heated argument and wished you had an escape hatch to peace? Or maybe you've left a disagreement feeling drained and misunderstood? Welcome to our latest episode of Enneagram U, where we, Damon and Kelly, use the language of the Enneagram to reshape how you handle conflict. Let us guide you through the maze of tension and disagreements, providing you with the tools to not only survive conflict but to thrive within it.

Conflict is an unavoidable part of life, and each of us, depending on our Enneagram number, handles it differently. Picture this episode as your personal compass, pointing you towards understanding not only your own reactions but also the reactions of others around you. We'll be discussing how rest is critical during conflict, the role of closure and emotions, and how attachment issues can influence the conflict. We also share tailored advice for each Enneagram type, like for type twos' need to acknowledge their role in conflict, and type threes' focus on positive outcomes. 

This episode doesn't stop at individual conflicts, we also explore conflict within team settings. We discuss the importance of constructive conflict and the concept of radical candor. Remember, conflict can strengthen teams. It's not about 'winning' the argument but understanding different perspectives. So, come along with us on this journey of understanding and navigating conflict, and emerge stronger, more empathetic, and more insightful than ever before.
