Enneagram at Work

Christine McAlister has made over $100,000 from podcast guesting and now helps other impact-driven entrepreneurs show up, serve, and monetize top podcast appearances to scale their businesses.

She's also the host of the No One's Ever Asked Me That podcast and author of the Income Replacement Formula: 7 Simple Steps to Doing What You Love & Making Six Figures From Anywhere.

And...she's coming to us as a dominant Enneagram Type 3.

Christine has a wealth of business experience and podcasting expertise, so I know you're going to walk away from this episode with more than one tangible tip you can put to practice to start your own podcast guest strategy.

She was also incredibly open and honest about the mental and physical toll that constantly working and driving to achieve can have and shared how she's in the middle of it herself trying to redefine success in a more sustainable and life giving way.

Even if you don't identify as a Type 3,  I know that if you're listening to a podcast like this you have some amount of that Achiever energy inside of you as well, so regardless of your type you're going to be able to relate to Christine's experiences.

When you listen in you'll hear...

• about her experience with the pressure to succeed 
• her open up about the burnout the constant push has created 
• untangling her worth from work and how she's (trying!) to play more
• how she's redefining success
• why podcast guesting is such an effective visibility tool 
• what to look for when pitching yourself as a guest
• how to roll out the red carpet for your podcast hosts 
• how to get the most from your podcasting experiences 

Christine is also hosting a training soon:

Where We Make Decisions From: An Overview of Centers of Intelligence

There's a piece of the Enneagram that has to do with *where* we make our decisions from.


When we're living from the average state of our Types:

8, 9, 1 are in the Instinctive Triad typically making decisions from their gut (intuition).
2, 3, 4 are in the Feeling Triad typically making decisions from their heart (emotions).
5, 6, 7 are in the Thinking Triad typically making decisions from their head (thinking).


There are pros and cons to each, but at the end of the day, when we're living the healthiest version of our types you'll be able to effectively tap into all three.

When you listen in, you'll learn more about each Center of Intelligence to better understand yourself and others in your life. 

Even if you don't know you're number, this will still be super helpful and can help you start to narrow it down based on what Center of Intelligence most resonates with you!

Even if you don't yet know your Enneagram Type, narrowing down your Dominant Instinct can still tell you SO much about yourself (instead of 9, there's just 3 options...but when you overlay it with types that means there's actually 27 Types!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it be a tremendous help in understanding where others are coming from - their values, focus, and natural tendencies (it may seem like they're trying to drive you crazy on purpose, but it's most likely that thing that is such a no brainer to you might not come so naturally for them or even be on their radar).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each comes from evolution:
> Self Preservation - keeping yourself alive
> Sexual/Intimate - keeping the species alive
> Social - exists in higher intelligence species, keeping the herd/community alive
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And in modern society, they still impact how we show up and respond to the world around us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's so much they can tell you, including what type of offers are going to be most aligned with your natural preferences and skills. If there's currently something on your website you're not absolutely stoked to be offering, this might help.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the end of the day you're a complex human being, not boxed by any type, but this will give insight into ways to make money that both align with your passions and your skills.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All 3 are inside of you. Here's how each one plays out:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dominant:
Comes most natural and influences how our Enneagram Number expresses itself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Secondary:
Functions a bit more neutrally.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Neglected:
Falls out of view and requires intentional growth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you move through your self-growth journey all will be integrated and used to be your healthiest and most fulfilled self.

Glenda Beagle helps travel industry professional increase sales to grow their travel business and in this episode, she's been kind enough (and brave enough! :)  to let us walk through her Enneagram assessment results to help her determine which Enneagram type she is.

She went through the paid 144 question Enneagram Institute Assessment that came back as a Type 7, 4, and 2.

As a reminder:

Type 7 (The Enthusiast) is running towards satisfaction, variety and experiences and running away from emotional discomfort and being limited in any way

Type 4 (The Individualist) is running towards being unique, special, belonging for their authentic self while running away from the mundane, ordinary and meaningless work

Type 2 (The Helper) is running towards being loved and wanted while running away from feeling unloved and unwanted

While 7 and 4 don't often get confused because of how opposite they can be, there definitely is some overlap that you'll hear more about in this interview along with how the energy of the Type 2 Helper also shows up in her past.

After some questioning, reflecting and discussing, Glenda feels pretty comfortable where she lands on the Enneagram, so listen to the end to find out where she lands and what her funwork is to continue to learn more about her dominant type!

"The Harmonic Groups tell us what attitude the type adopts if it fails to meet it's dominant need. In other words, it they tell us how we cope with conflict and difficulty: how we respond when we do not get what we want." - Riso and Hudson, The Wisdom of the Enneagram

In this classroom episode, you'll learn about a grouping on the Enneagram that deals with how we defend against loss, pain, and disappointment we feel when we don't get what we want.
