E16 - Exploring the Enneagram: A Journey to Self-Discovery and Team Growth
A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF KATIE
Alan says he is super excited about today's topic. He needs an update on your chicken egg enterprise. Katie will once again only scratch the surface. We will definitely take deeper dives in subsequent weeks.
COACHING THE ENNEAGRAM
Today my excitement is that we start talking about the Enneagram. Having been certified in this assessment, both individual and team basis for the last year and a half, it is the most powerful assessment I've ever taken. I invite listeners today to approach our time with curiosity.
THE ENNEAGRAM
Alan : Why the enneagram versus any other assessment? He says learning about my personality type through this lens really helped him understand himself a little bit better.
IS THE ENNEAGRAM IMPORTANT FOR YOUR WORK?
As the Enneagram one, I might step up and do it for a different reason than the two, three, four, the other numbers. Even if the behavior looks the same, it's that motivation piece. That's really where the magic and the growth happens.
THE ENNEAGRAM AND WHAT MOTIVATES YOU
The value of the enneagram is it gives every voice and every person a chance to play. The motivations may be different, but they're all valuable. This gets into more of what are those things that are core motivators for me.
THE ENNEAGRAM iEQ9 ASSESSMENT
Alan : There's many reasons why I like the IEQ9 over other enneagram assessments. He says it goes into greater depth than simply the nine types.
THE IEQ9 AND ITS RELEVANCE
The IEQ9 is powerful because of the integrative nature we're combinations of all nine. It gives others a chance to really lean into their superpowers. If you're a type one, you're probably a better healthcare professional than a type.
THE ENNEAGRAM AND THE iEQ9
The Enneagram, the iEQ9 specifically has given me greater grace for myself and others with specificity. The amount of beating up of self that can happen. When I don't get something perfect, I beat myself up. Any number can do this.
THE ENNEAGRAM: HOW TO USE THE iEQ9
As a coach in training, what do you think for you as far as the iEQ9 moving forward for you? Getting to those things that motivate us, like with specificity, I think can be a tremendous competitive advantage. In a large health system, this assessment can be especially powerful.
THE ENNEAGRAM: DO WE LABEL PEOPLE?
The enneagram can be used in a destructive manner. It can be very dangerous and destructive to use any of these assessments as a way to exclude someone. But if I can create more opportunities that get to the core motivators of my team building the bench, I'm more likely to keep great employees.
THE ENNEAGRAM AND ITS NORMALIZATION
Can we also talk about the fact that the enneagram has normalized some things for me? And I appreciate you bringing the humor into this, Katie. What are those things that are core motivators showing blind spots?
KATIE, WHAT ABOUT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE SKEPTICAL OF ASSESSMENTS?
Katie, what would be something you would say to someone skeptical of an assessment? Why not give it a try? What's the worst that could happen? Also, you don't have to drink from the fire hose. It's not something that is going to change your life overnight.
THE iEQ9: A QUESTION OF CURIOSITY
We encourage all of you to investigate the iEQ9 and learn more. After you take it, share your results with someone spouse, a coworker, and get their thoughts. It is a lot of rich material to process with a coach.
THE ENNEAGRAM AND LEADER ASSESSMENT
Can we do an iEQ9 for the golden doodles? As leaders, what do we do? We play roles based on what the person or persons on the other side of us need. We want to be careful with any assessment that we begin to assess others. This gets to core motivators.
THE ENNEAGRAM JOURNEY:
Alan: The purpose of this podcast is to challenge and encourage. We're going to get into that enneagram journey, so strap in. As always, great to chat with you and looking forward to our next episode
