EQ vs. IQ on Lead with the Enneagram EP334
Kacia Ghetmiri’s EmpowerHER Community

“I hit my first six figures in six months, I hit my first half a million dollars in 18 months. And I truly believe that I did that because I put my head down, I got focused, and I didn't have 1000 people telling me 1000 different things,” - Jillian Murphy
Sales drive our economy. It’s what drives every business, no matter the kind of business.
I’ll be honest, I’m like the queen of the “no sell, sell.” And I used to approach sales with a little bit of trepidation and discomfort, leaving me feeling pushy or just salesy.
But most of the time, we have the wrong attitude about sales. It’s not a natural talent but can be learned through practice and mindset shifts, and there’s a real art to it.
That's why I brought legendary sales expert and Self Preservation Enneagram 3, Jillian Murphy to share her insight on how you can grow your business with more sales.
Whenever I'm with her or when I'm following her content or listening to her watching her stories or listening to her podcasts, I get fired the fuck up every single time because she makes the sales process not seem so icky, scary, and she just makes it real as hell.
Listen in to “Lead With The Enneagram” today as Jillian shares her personal story of how she transitioned from her 20-year corporate job to running a successful seven-figure business in the online space through mastering the art of sales. She also discusses her chronic illness, the physical and emotional toll it has taken on her, and how she has had to learn to manage her symptoms while still running her business.
Jillian and I discuss the two biggest problems in sales and the vital component you need to build with your audience before you can sell to them. Jillian shares how she leveraged the help of others to achieve success and the importance of mentorship and investing in oneself to become successful. Plus, how you can work with Jillian.

"If you just have a strong IQ but a low EQ, you actually may never produce the gifts and step into who you are designed to be."
Intellectual intelligence (IQ) refers to the ability to learn, understand, and apply information to skills, logic, reasoning, and other forms of thinking.
On the other hand, emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to identify, assess, and control your own emotions, as well as recognize and respond to the emotions of others.
While both IQ and EQ are important, having a strong IQ without a corresponding EQ can limit your personal and professional growth and leave you feeling unfulfilled.
But by developing your EQ, you can navigate challenging situations with grace and compassion and effectively overcome obstacles without damaging your relationships, health, or finances.
So, how do you build your emotional intelligence muscles?
In this episode of “Lead With The Enneagram” we’ll explore how the Enneagram can help you strengthen your emotional intelligence for personal growth.
I'll share a personal story of overcoming negative emotions by leaning into vulnerability. I'll also walk you through how the Enneagram has helped me develop my EQ to break generational patterns, have more fulfilling relationships, and even increased my financial success.
Listen in to discover how the Enneagram can help you understand your own unique fears and motivations so you can cultivate your emotional intelligence to lead with authenticity, vulnerability, and grace in your personal and professional relationships.

If you’ve experienced a personal transformation, it’s natural to want to share what you’ve learned with the people close to you.
That’s why I’m getting so many bookings for my Enneagram partner session.

I turned 51 yesterday.

Are you feeling the need for a change, or do you constantly chase after new shiny objects?
Perhaps you're a multi-passionate individual struggling with purpose anxiety.
If so, it's crucial to take a moment and consider if you truly need to pivot or reframe your messaging.
But it's essential to approach these questions with radical honesty while tempering them with self-compassion (so you don't fall into a shame spiral).
So, how do you navigate this process?
Today, on "Lead With The Enneagram," we're diving into the topic of purpose anxiety and how to discern whether you need to pivot or if you're just running away from something.
I'll provide valuable insights on how multi-passionate individuals can settle into discerning their true passions and offer guidance on asking yourself the tough questions (with radical honesty AND compassion) so you can leverage your unique framework in a way that feels true to who you are.
If you're struggling with purpose anxiety, listen in for ways to live your best life in alignment with your passions.
It's my life's work to help multi-passionate people leverage their passions, pivot if necessary, and own their unique identities in a way that attracts success and fulfillment. My Enneagram Blueprint provides an in-depth 75-page handbook about you and your Enneagram type, subtype, wings, growth number, and stress numbers. Or, to go even deeper, apply to work with me.

I am fresh off a week of being poured into by my own mentor.

I explore the problem with shame-based mentorship programs and explain how the right mentor helps you operate in your intuition and honor your nervous system.

"Whether you're trying to grow your business or live a better life, clarity of self is the foundation of all of it. Understanding how to master yourself will make all of those other tools, strategies, and everything else that you're trying to make work right now easy," - Nicole Laino
Self-awareness can pave the way to greater success and fulfillment in all areas of life. Clearly understanding yourself is the essential starting point when it comes to achieving personal growth or business success.
Today on "Lead With The Enneagram," Human Design expert Nicole Laino (Enneagram 7) joins me to talk about this relatively new system of self-discovery based on the idea that each person has a unique energetic blueprint that categorizes individuals into five main types and provides specific strategies for using their energy and making decisions.
Nicole shares her personal story of how she discovered Human Design and how it helped her to better understand and accept herself. Nicole walks us through the five types in Human Design - generators, manifesting generators, manifestors, projectors, and reflectors - and each type's specific strategy for energetically being in their highest expression.
Listen in as we walk you through the similarities and differences between Human Design and the Enneagram and how they can be used together as tools for self-awareness and personal growth. Plus, Nicole demonstrates how quickly she can provide insights and guidance by looking at my Human Design chart on the spot and identifying some of the challenges I might face based on my chart.
