THE ENNEAGRAM: HOW TO BUILD A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP

The dominant emotion is anger. Understanding the Enneagram helped Alan be more aware of it. How do we build a healthy culture around the relationships?

THE ENNEAGRAM TRIAD

We're going to get really practical tonight as we talk about the type eight, type nine and type one. We're talking about for healthcare professionals, personally and professionally, the. application. What specifically are you excited about?

ENNEAGRAM 3, THE GUT TRIAD

The eight nine one is known as the gut, the body triad. Next time we're going to talk about the type two three four, which is the heart Triad. And then the episode after that, the five six seven, which are the head triads.

THE GUT TRIAD OF ENNEAGRAMS

Eight, nine and one are the gut are linked together in the gut triad. What might that look like for someone working in healthcare? It comes from those senses.

THE 8, 9 AND ONE IN HEALTHCARE

The eight is the one who uses that gut or that sense to look for a challenge. The eight jumps right in and says, okay, what can we do to address this? Really being good advocates for patients, for improving systems.

THE NEED FOR THE TRANSACTIONAL AND THE RELATIONAL

It could be in our personal life as well, the need for the transactional and the relational. How do we build a healthy culture around the relationships?

A TYPE 8 IN THE WORKFORCE

We're combinations of all nine types. Some of that's more natural than others. What do leaders do? They recognize I need to tap into this area right now.

DO YOU NEED TO LEAN IN TO YOUR 8 OR 9 TYPES?

If I had to pick between my eight or my nine, I would say that I probably lean a little bit more into my nine because that's that peacemaker.

GUT TRIAD: ANGER, PERFECTIONISM

As a one, I very often try to control and suppress my anger. What often happens is that frustration comes out sideways and can look like being super critical of other people.

WHAT MAKES KATIE ANGRY?

What are some things that make Katie angry? Other people not following through on something that they said they would do. Rules, plans, deadlines, those kind of things. This is where the anger can build, but it's directed internally.

TAP INTO YOUR 9-YEAR ANGER

Can we do the same exercise with you and have you tap into your nine, maybe take a deep breath first. Nines, as I mentioned earlier, are so aware of the other eight types. They can struggle to identify if they are angry at all. Be honest with yourself. It is okay to be angry.

WHAT DO EIGHTS DO IN THE HEALTHCARE PROFESSION?

Eights can get a bad rap here because they can be strong defenders of those they see taken advantage of. But beneath that tough exterior is a very tender, sensitive heart.

THE IEQ 9 AND HOW TO LEAD

Not all of us have the same motivators. If I think that everyone on my team should be motivated the way I am, this is where we have some real challenging team dynamics. The IEQ nine assessment is a good starting point for leaders.

THE ENNEAGRAM: HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE

The Enneagram can be extremely humbling. Identifying blind spots and realizing, oh, wow. Yeah, I can be pretty rigid at times. But we talk about those best leaders, to me, are hungry, humble, smart. I'm asking all of us to be willing to lean in and to change.

WHAT MOTIVATIONS CAN TYPE 9 HAVE FOR THEIR TEAM?

Watch the culture of your workplace to see if everyone can thrive. High challenge, high support, both needed. What would be some key things that could really motivate each of the three types?

THIS IS THE ANGER TRIAD

This is the anger triad. It does not mean that only these three types get angry. All of us can handle anger in some very unproductive and unhealthy ways. How do we make those healthier choices moving forward?

THE ENNEAGRAM: THE HEART TRIAD

This is only one third of the Enneagram. It was intentional that we didn't try to do all nine in one episode. We're going to lean into the other triads that aren't as natural for us. They're all of equal worth and equal value.
