  • Using the Enneagram as a Lens for Decision Making

    In this episode of Courageous Leaders, Connected Teams, host Stephanie Freeth reveals how your Enneagram type can profoundly shape your leadership decisions — often in ways you don’t even realize.

    ✅ Use the Enneagram as a lens for understanding decision-making patterns
    ✅ Recognize how each type’s core motivations impact choices
    ✅ Shift from fear-based to curiosity-driven decision making
    ✅ Engage whole-body wisdom: head, heart, and gut
    ✅ Apply practical frameworks like Defining Decision Rights & RACI
    ✅ Help your teams make more courageous, connected, and aligned decisions

    By understanding your type’s default patterns — and learning how to balance them — you can make decisions that are more creative, grounded, and connected. Better decisions = Better teams = Better outcomes.
