The Enneagram can help you understand your personality type and those of your colleagues. It can help you anticipate challenges, provide specific growth guidance, and navigate the complexities of the workplace with greater empathy and awareness. 

It cannot however predict the future. It can't tell you who will be amazing at their job, or tell you which types are best for certain roles. 

Listen in to hear two recent, real-workplace examples of why we want to be careful with putting types into job boxes or believing we need a specific type for a role.

Using the Awareness to Action model, you’ll learn what being a “Transmitter” looks like in the real world with Trust Leadership Collective Founder Demetrius Parker. 

These individuals who tend to “Transmit” prioritize attracting and bonding.

The 3 categories that describe someone who Transmits include:

Broadcasting/Narrowcasting | Asserting | Impressing

When you listen in to this week's episode you'll also hear about:

• D's initial typing experience as a Type 9 
• what led him to realize Type 3 was more accurate 
• the similarities and differences between Type 1 and Type 3
• why there was no question what his dominant Instinctual Bias was
• how he's used the Transmitting energy to succeed at work
• the overlap of the Type 3 with the Transmitter 
• key insights about the Transmitting leader 

Did you see yourself in any of these conversations? Or maybe someone you work with?

Enneagram Twos are striving to feel connected.
Type Nines are striving to feel at peace.
 
What's the coworker compatibility of these types on a team?

Find out how those core strategies show up in a real-world working relationship between Digital Signage Manager and Type 9, Ryan Lenocker and Digital Marketing Technology Specialist and Type 2, Michelle Zapata.

When you listen in you'll hear about how they see their strengths complimenting their work relationship and how they've gotten a deeper understanding of their differences and potential friction points.

If you happen to identify with one of these types yourself, hearing Michelle and Ryan share about their experiences you'll be able to relate. And if neither of these is your core strategy, listen in because you'll gain a better understanding of these types at work and may end up learning more about your own co-worker.
