Enneagram at Work

Are you on the hunt for your next career?

Maybe you're fed up with where you've been.

Or maybe you're getting back into the job market after being at home parenting kids, taking care of a parent, or healing from a health issue.

Regardless, of why you're ready, this episode's intention is to help you get ready by focusing on three parts of the job search process and how to apply the Enneagram in each one:

1) Prework: Getting Clear on a Direction
Study yourself, understand what's not working in your current role, what is that you'd like to take with you, and what you would prefer in the next chapter using insight and information taken from your Enneagram type.
This is foundational for setting a clear path as to what role would be a great fit for you, what type of company culture you prefer, and what type boss would bring out the best in you.

2) Writing a More Accurate and Effective Resume
Drop the "hardworking" and "positive attitude" characteristics and use the Enneagram to validate and embrace your natural strengths (not everyone has them!), give you clear and meaningful language to explain your past experiences, and effectively communicate what makes you unique.

3)  Getting Your Questions Answered During the Interview
Take advantage of getting to ask questions at the end of your interview and ensure you get valuable information from them by asking specific questions about your role, your working environment, company culture and your manager's priorities and communication/leadership style to help you more clearly see what's a "heck yes!" and what might be "not a good fit" based on how those things overlap and compliment (or drain) your energy.

How is your personality impacted by military service?

How might it make uncovering your Enneagram type a little tricky?

Inside this special Veteran's Day episode, you'll hear from Army and Air Force Veteran and CEO/Owner of VJ and JJ Property Management in Reno, NV, Vicky Johnson about how she's noticed her Type 3 or Type 8 Enneagram typing journey impacted by 30-year military career.

You'll hear about what core qualities of each type she's had to step into as a military officer, as well as which qualities she no longer resonates with as she develops as a professional and along her personal growth path.

Even if you don't identify with either Type 3 or Type 8, tune in to gain valuable insight about the 3s and 8s in your life.
 
Thank you again to Vicky for her service and to any listener here who's also served - we're celebrating you this Veteran's Day!

Would you be curious to know how other people are using the Enneagram at work? And what benefits they're experiencing from it? 

If you're here listening to a show about the Enneagram, I'm going to take a wild guess and assume, yes :) 

That's great because in this episode we're using the 2022 Enneagram in Organizations Global Survey to guide this conversation about how managers and leaders can use the Enneagram with their teams. 

You'll learn 9 specific ways (you only need to start with one!) that have been inspired by my own experiences, workshop feedback, and learnings from other teachers and mentors, so that you can turn your Enneagram information into a meaningful transformation for your team and organization. 

1. New Hire Onboarding (3 ideas) 
2. Giving more meaningful feedback (and how to deliver it) 
3. In the hiring process 
4. Providing personalized growth paths for each team member 
5. Growing everyone's capacity for empathy and understanding of one another 
6. Understanding your team's sales or customer relations strengths and possible obstacles 
7. Improving customer, client, and vendor relationships 
8. Ethically influencing each member of your when new initiatives are rolled out or company goals are communicated 
9. Noticing the different ways each team member expresses and manages stress to avoid burnout and help them navigate through a stressful work situation

When you think of the traits that make up your personality, are you viewing them as all the things that are "wrong with you?" 

Often times in my own personal experience and Enneagram teaching experience, the more we learn about ourselves it's the "negative" qualities we tend to focus on first. 

Inside this final episode of the Personality Assessments at Work Series, you'll hear from Heidi Dexter, Type 7w8, head of customer experience at Beauty Culture Med Spa, and self-growth student on how she's shifted her thinking over the years from  personality deficiencies to her personality strengths - and some things for you to think about to do the same. 

Over the last 5 episodes you've heard about different personality assessments to help you better understand yourself, and others, at work:

1. 360 Reviews - ep. 76
2. The Kolbe - ep. 77
3. CliftonStrengths - ep. 78
4. The DiSC - ep. 79
5. Fascinate - ep. 80

When you listen in to episode 81 you'll hear Heidi sharing how she's applied what she's learned from her personality assessments (some of them being new ones you haven't heard of before!) both at work with her team and clients and in her relationships as a spouse and parent. 

You'll also get some additional insight on life as a Type 7 with that 8 wing energy that you can use to narrow down your own Enneagram type or better understand someone in your life with that 7 energy.

Listen in to hear more about Heidi's real life application of personality assessments and how she's using them to grow one bite at a time.

Do you have a good idea of how others see you?

With the Enneagram, a lot of what we uncover is about ourselves and other people. 

But, how helpful would it be if there was a tool that gave you an additional perspective of how others see us and more specifically, how we fascinate them?

So fun, right?

That's exactly what you'll hear more about inside this conversation with CBE Companies Diversity Director, Personal Branding Strategist, and Certified Fascinate Advisor, Madelyn Ridgeway.

When you listen in you'll get the overview of the 7 Fascinate Archetypes to help you to start narrowing down your own: 

• The Innovation Archetype - uses the language of creativity and new ideas
• The Passion Archetype - uses the language of relationships (buy-in)
• The Power Archetype - uses the language of confidence 
• The Prestige Archetype - uses the language of excellence 
• The Trust Archetype - uses the language of stability 
• The Mystic Archetype - uses the language of listening 
• The Alert Archetype - uses the language of details 

You'll also learn how to start to apply your dominant and secondary advantages to the work you do and the roles you have, and what you need to know about using your dormant advantage.

Would you describe your preferred working style as dominating, influencing, steady, or conscientious? Maybe a blend of two?

The DiSC assessment can compliment what you've learned about yourself through the Enneagram by sharing both validating insights and and new perspectives about your preferences and tendencies. Like the Enneagram, it should be used for dialogue, not a diagnosis.

To help us jumpstart that conversation and be able to use and apply the DiSC to our own personal growth journey and relationships at work, we have DiSC certified, leadership trainer, and owner of Talent and Genius, Nancy Marmolejo on the show today.

Inside Part 4 of our Personality Assessment Series, you'll learn about what DiSC is and the 4 main styles within the framework: 

The D (Dominance) Style prioritizes getting immediate results, taking action, challenging themselves and others and is motivated by power and authority, competition, winning, and success (sound familiar Type 8s and 3s? :) )

The i (Influence) Style prioritizes expressing enthusiasm, taking action, encouraging collaboration and is motivated by social recognition, group activities, and friendly relationships (Type 7 anyone?))

The S (Steadiness) Style prioritizes giving support, maintaining stability, enjoying collaboration and is motivated by stable environments, sincere appreciation, cooperation, and opportunities to help (sensing some Type 2, 6, and 9 - What do you think?)

The C (Conscientiousness) Style prioritizes ensuring accuracy, maintaining stability, challenging assumptions and is motivated by opportunities to use expertise or gain knowledge and attention to quality (hearing some Type 1 and event Type 5 in there?).

The only Enneagram type that I didn't see a direct DiSC Style correlation with was the Type 4 (which you probably appreciate :)), but what do you think? Where do you see this energy show up on the DiSC?

And more importantly, where do you see yourself? How does that overlap (or not!) with your Enneagram type?
