In this episode of the Lead with the Enneagram podcast, we had an enlightening conversation with Amy Bartko, an Enneagram 7, who shared her experiences with the overcommitment cycle and how the Enneagram has helped her navigate through it. Amy's story is a testament to the power of the Enneagram in creating long-term freedom and choices, which is especially significant for Enneagram 7s like her.

We delved into the complexities of the Enneagram and how it can be applied to both personal and professional life. I shared my own journey from skepticism to embracing the Enneagram, and how it has transformed my approach to leadership, sales, and relationships.

Amy and I discussed the challenges of being an Enneagram 7, such as the tendency to say "yes" to too many things and the struggle with feeling boxed in. We also touched on the importance of delegation and the value of giving people grace, recognizing that not everyone operates the same way.

We explored Amy's tri-type, 7-4-9, and how it influences her work in high-level influencer and celebrity marketing. The combination of visionary thinking, empathy, and a nonjudgmental approach makes her uniquely effective in her field.

Amy asked insightful questions about how to lean into her Enneagram type for greater success and how to identify and work with different Enneagram types in her life. We discussed the significance of pausing before committing, the value of asking questions, and the importance of understanding the motivations of others.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in using the Enneagram as a tool for personal growth and better communication. Whether you're an Enneagram 7 or not, you'll find valuable insights into understanding and leading the people in your life.
