As a coach and a leader in my social selling business, I have learned much about my leadership style through studying the Enneagram. And I am thrilled to share these learnings with you as an Enneagram 5 Leader.

Join me in this episode where I will share my journey of self-discovery as we unwrap the complexities of being an Enneagram Type Five leader.

Quote:

"Fives can be considered true thought leaders of the entire Enneagram. Fives are very diplomatic. They focus on appropriate boundaries, not just in business, but in life."

"I realized I really need to soften and make my language and like throw in some emojis, but just make it a little bit more flowery, more rah-rah for my team. I think women just, they welcome that."

"I just want to encourage anybody else out there who's a Five - the world does need you. They do need to see you. They need you to show up and be you in all of your fiveness."

"The personality style of the Five, they see the work that they do through the lens of the information that needs to be mastered to get the job done."

"Fives are greedy with themselves. They are greedy with their time. They are greedy with showing themselves and opening up to the world."

"My goal is to get into action. It is to bring everyone together. It is to have more consensus."
