Lead with the Enneagram with Host Tracy O’Malley

In this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, we dive deep into the dynamics of relationships, particularly between individuals with contrasting Enneagram types.

Our special guests, Kate and Aaron Howard, are a couple who embody the phrase "opposites attract," with Kate being an Enneagram Type 1 and Aaron a Type 7. They share their experiences of working with me and how understanding their Enneagram types has significantly improved their relationship and business ventures.

We discuss the challenges and benefits of their differing perspectives and how they've learned to navigate their partnership without "throat punching each other on the daily." Aaron, with his assertive and full-of-life Enneagram 7 traits, and Kate, with her meticulous and integrity-driven Enneagram 1 qualities, bring unique gifts to the table that, when harnessed correctly, create a powerful synergy.

The episode also touches on the importance of patience and delegation in business, especially for Enneagram Type 1s like Kate, who tend to strive for perfection and control. We explore how letting go and trusting others can lead to scaling a business and achieving a better quality of life.

Listeners get a sneak peek into what an Enneagram couple session looks like and gain insights into managing relationships with radically different partners. The Howards also introduce their new joint business venture, which leverages their strengths in social media and video marketing to help other entrepreneurs grow their brands.

If you're intrigued by the power of the Enneagram in relationships and business, or if you're considering a move to sunny Florida and need a realtor, Kate has the key. For those looking to enhance their social media presence, A. Howard Productions is the go-to resource.

In this solo episode of Lead with the Enneagram I dive into the significance of birthdays and self-celebration, particularly how my own upbringing shaped my reluctance to embrace such personal milestones.

I recount the stories of my birth and the mixed messages I received, which led to a lifelong journey of striving for perfection and approval, especially from my father. These narratives, while humorous in retrospect, left a profound impact on my self-perception and the way I viewed my own worth.

Despite the challenges, I've come to recognize the importance of celebrating oneself and the journey we've all undertaken. I discuss the power of the Enneagram as a tool for personal growth and self-discovery, likening it to a navigation system that has helped me map out my life and guide others in their journeys.

As I reflect on my life's path, I emphasize the value of understanding our biology and biography, recognizing patterns, and embracing every part of our journey. I encourage listeners to be honest, open, and willing as they step into their roles as legendary leaders.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to share my insights and experiences through the podcast and for the impact it has on listeners. As I celebrate another year of life, I reaffirm my commitment to helping others become the legendary leaders they were born to be.

Thank you for joining me on this special day and for allowing me to be a part of your journey toward embracing your true self.

In this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, we dive deep into the practical applications of the Enneagram, particularly for those identifying as Type 7. Our special guest, Dr. Megan Daley, a self-preservation Enneagram 7 with a 748 tri-type, joins us to explore the nuances of living as a Type 7. We discuss the challenges and joys of being an Enneagram 7, from the desire for freedom and adventure to the tendency to avoid discomfort and pain.

Dr. Megan shares her personal story of pivoting careers multiple times, from a math degree to physical therapy, and eventually to coaching. She reflects on the importance of trusting oneself and the universe when making life-altering decisions, even when they seem counterintuitive to others.
We also delve into the significance of inner child work, particularly for those who have experienced childhood trauma or have been misunderstood. Dr. Megan opens up about her struggles with connecting to her inner child and seeking clarity on what her inner child truly needs.

Lastly, we touch on Dr. Megan's aspirations to host retreats and speak at events, focusing on self-care, self-forgiveness, and authenticity for high-achieving women. She aims to create intimate, transformative experiences that allow participants to reconnect with their playful, authentic selves and embark on a journey of healing from the inside out.

Our conversation today is particularly special as I chat with one of my favorite clients, Kaitlin Anthony, who is also an Enneagram 8. Kaitlin has the 837 tri-type, known as the mover and shaker, which embodies high achievement and assertiveness. Despite her success, Kaitlin opens up about the struggles and obstacles that come with her Enneagram type, particularly in parenting, business, and marriage.

We explore the challenges of connecting with loved ones who have different Enneagram types and the importance of slowing down and tapping into the softer energies of the Enneagram, such as types 2 and 9, to foster deeper connections. Kaitlin candidly shares her experiences and the lessons she's learned about vulnerability, patience, and the power of quiet growth.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand themselves better and lead with compassion and effectiveness. Whether you're an Enneagram 8 like us or just curious about the Enneagram, you'll find valuable insights and practical tips on how to use this tool to lead yourself and others more powerfully.

Remember, the journey of self-discovery and growth is ongoing, and the Enneagram is here to guide you every step of the way. Join us as we navigate the complexities of the Enneagram and transform our lives from the inside out.

Our special guest, Tonya Raybon, joins us to discuss her experience with the Enneagram. Tonya has worked extensively with me, participating in retreats, one-on-one sessions, and couple's workshops. She shares her insights as a social Enneagram Type 2, also known as "The Helper," and we explore the nuances of her tri-type, 2-6-8, which is referred to as "The Rescuer."

Throughout the episode, we tackle the challenges of setting boundaries, especially for Enneagram Type 2s who are naturally inclined to say "yes" and accommodate others. We emphasize the importance of pausing before committing to tasks and asking oneself if the action would still be a "yes" even without external appreciation or reciprocation.

Tonya and I also discuss strategies for understanding and interacting with loved ones through the lens of the Enneagram. We highlight the significance of the three centers of intelligence (instinctual, feeling, and thinking) and how recognizing these can improve communication and relationships within families, including with children and grandchildren.

Finally, we touch on Tonya's podcast, "Perfectly Blended," which focuses on the complexities of blended family life and the continuous blending of roles that women often navigate.

In this special hotline episode of Lead with the Enneagram, we had the pleasure of speaking with Julie A, a one-on-one Enneagram 9 with a 935 tri-type, also known as the thinker. Julie shared her journey of self-discovery through the Enneagram and how it has impacted her both personally and professionally as a leadership and career coach at a high-level university in Chicago.

We delved into the nuances of being an Enneagram 9, discussing the core emotion of anger and how it often manifests in passive-aggressive behaviors like avoidance and procrastination. Julie opened up about her challenges with confronting anger and conflict, and we explored strategies for nines to develop a healthier relationship with these emotions.

Julie also touched on her experience of grief and how it has led to feelings of sloth, a common struggle for Enneagram 9s when they are disintegrating. We discussed the importance of contrary action and how leveraging the strengths of her one and eight wings can help her navigate through tough times without getting stuck.

A significant revelation for Julie was understanding that her core motivator is freedom, not safety, which she had previously believed. This insight has prompted her to reflect on her career choices and how they align with her need for independence, autonomy, and control.

Lastly, we unpacked Julie's tri-type, the thinker (935), which combines the ambition of a three, the knowledge-seeking nature of a five, and the peacemaking qualities of a nine. This tri-type explains Julie's intellectual approach and her ability to manage situations and relationships effectively.
Throughout the episode, we emphasized the importance of self-awareness and the use of the Enneagram as a tool for personal growth. By understanding our core fears and motives, and by building the muscles of our supporting cast – our wings and growth/stress numbers – we can navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience.

For those looking to understand and support an Enneagram 9 in their life, remember to gently probe beyond their initial "I'm fine" response to truly understand their feelings. And for anyone interested in diving deeper into their Enneagram blueprint, I encourage you to visit my website and explore the resources available.

In this latest episode of "Lead with the Enneagram," I discuss the common trap of accumulating knowledge, attending events, and seeking more strategies without making real progress. I emphasize that while these activities are valuable, they may not always lead to the growth we seek. I challenge listeners to consider what the "next brave thing" is for them, which can be a deeply personal and vulnerable step.

Using the Enneagram as a tool, I encourage you to identify your fears and take action that aligns with your type's unique path to growth. I confess my own struggles with vulnerability and share a personal commitment to send an email I've been avoiding, demonstrating the importance of integrity and leading by example.

In this latest episode of Lead with the Enneagram, I open up about a recent self-awareness realization I had during a mastermind event involving a racetrack challenge. Despite my confidence and expertise in self-awareness, I noticed a pattern of self-sabotage when the focus was solely on me, rather than on a team or others. This led to a vulnerable moment where I recognized the importance of not just being self-aware but also taking compassionate, effective action to create real change.

I emphasize that self-awareness is only a piece of the puzzle and that understanding your Enneagram type is not enough. It's about what you do with that knowledge that counts. I encourage listeners to move beyond passive awareness and take active steps towards transformation.

For those looking to deepen their Enneagram work and take actionable steps, I have a few spots open for one-on-one coaching, including 90-minute power sessions and three-month VIP coaching.
