In this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, we dive deep into the practical applications of the Enneagram, particularly focusing on Type 2, the Considerate Helper. Our guest, Tisha, shares her journey from skepticism to embracing the Enneagram as a powerful tool for self-discovery and growth.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding Motivations: The Enneagram is more than a personality test; it's about understanding the 'why' behind our actions. For Type 2s, actions are often motivated by a desire for love and appreciation.
• Setting Boundaries: Type 2s tend to say 'yes' too quickly, leading to overcommitment. It's crucial for them to pause before agreeing to requests and consider if they would still say 'yes' without external validation.
• Navigating Relationships: Type 2s have a gift for intuitively understanding others' needs, but they must learn to communicate their own needs clearly to build authentic and supportive relationships.
• Dealing with Stress: Under stress, Type 2s can exhibit traits of an unhealthy Enneagram 8, becoming confrontational. Recognizing this pattern can help them address the underlying issues of feeling unappreciated or resentful.
• Embracing Individuality: Growth for Type 2s involves embracing their individuality (Enneagram 4 traits) and prioritizing self-care to avoid burnout and serve others from a place of fullness.
• COVID-19 Reflections: The pandemic provided an unexpected opportunity for Type 2s to focus on themselves, highlighting the importance of maintaining personal space and self-care routines.
