What does it look like when two Enneagram 3s become partners in business, marriage or both? As you might expect, they get sh*t done, setting goals and taking action on them right away.

But just because two people share the same Enneagram type doesn’t mean they have exactly the same strengths. Depending on their instinctual subtypes, a couple of Competitive Achievers may behave very differently.

That is certainly true of Courtney and Michael Weaver, Cofounders and Co-CEOs of Weaver Sales Academy, one of the country’s top sales training and coaching practices for insurance professionals and their agency teams.

The Weavers know they are better together, leveraging their strengths to build multiple million-dollar businesses—and help other business owners and entrepreneurs do the same.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, we explore what differentiates a self-preservation 3 like Michael from a social 3 like Courtney, explaining why it’s more challenging for Courtney to stretch into the Enneagram 3’s growth number 6.

We discuss why 3s tend to move the goal line and describe how Courtney and Michael use their wings to honor their soul line, setting goals based on the legacy they want to leave.

Listen in to understand how Courtney and Michael make time for what matters most and get their advice on how to hold space for the Enneagram 3s you love and lead.

What You Will Learn

How Courtney & Michael met at the gym and the energy they felt from each other right away
What inspired Courtney & Michael to build a business together in the insurance space
How Courtney operates on instinct while Michael lives in the thinking center of expression
Why 3s tend to move the goal line when painful circumstances come up
What differentiates a self-preservation 3 like Michael from a social 3 like Courtney
How Courtney & Michael use their 2 and 4 wings to honor their soul line as well as their goal line
How Courtney declares a Snow Day when she needs to recharge (and why it took her so long to share this with Michael)
Why it’s more challenging for Courtney to stretch into the 3’s growth number 6 than it is for Michael
What Courtney & Michael are doing to counter their image-consciousness and workaholism
Courtney & Michael’s advice on how to hold space for the Enneagram 3s you love and lead

The Way to Your Next Level Life Is Through a Next Level YOU and How to Get There in 2022

We all want to get to the next level in 2022.

But setting an intention is one thing. And walking that talk is another.

So, how do we go from talking about a next level life to really living it? What does achieving that next level actually require of us?

Listen in to understand why it’s crucial to celebrate your little wins and honor your little traumas—and learn where to go for support in manifesting your next level life in 2022!

Rebecca Louise believes that anything is possible. She can turn any situation into an adventure and because of her intense energy, Rebecca was mistyped as an Enneagram 8.

But Rebecca isn’t motivated by the need to prove her strength. She is driven, instead, by a need to live life to the fullest, which makes her an Enneagram 7, the Enthusiastic Visionary.

So, what does it look like when a healthy 7 takes steps to make her dreams real?

Rebecca is the celebrity fitness trainer behind the BTES Fitness App and the It Takes Grit Podcast. She became an NASM-certified personal trainer in 2012, and since then, she has built a community of 4M followers across her website and social platforms. Rebecca is also the author of the #1 Amazon bestseller It Takes Grit.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, Rebecca shares her struggle to find the right team to scale her business, and I explain why she’s slow to act on red flags in her relationships as an Enneagram 7.

Every Enneagram type has powerful gifts to offer the world.

But we can only make our highest contribution when we are healthy. When we’re coming from a place of compassion, empathy and love.

Listen in for insight on the 7’s ability to see the best in everything, the 8’s ability to advocate for others, and the 9’s ability to lead the charge to positive change.

Did you accomplish everything you wanted in 2021? Or did something get in your way?

Every Enneagram type has a core fear. And chances are, if you're getting stuck, it’s got something to do with that fear.

High-achieving women are the most mistyped on the Enneagram. And that’s because the online assessments only consider our behaviors, not the motives behind them.

Joy Harrington spent her childhood doing everything right. She excelled at school and helped raise her younger siblings. And she grew up to be a successful entrepreneur who knows how to get sh*t done.

So, it’s no surprise that Joy was mistyped as a 3. But her ambition isn’t motivated by a need for significance, and she didn’t really identify with the ethos of a Competitive Achiever.

What DOES motivate Joy? And how have her experiences changed the way her type is expressed?

Joy is the CEO of Level Up Babe, a coaching practice and podcast that helps women release shame and step into their feminine power.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, Joy and I uncover her true type, the Enthusiastic Visionary Enneagram 7, exploring why she spent most of her childhood in her stress number and how that influenced her behavior.

Joy opens up about her marriage, sharing the story of her separation and describing how she set boundaries for reconciling with her husband Peter.

Listen in to understand how Joy leans into her wings to bring her out-of-the-box ideas to life and learn how she is leveraging the Enneagram as a growth tool now that she knows her REAL type.

What Joy loves about her husband Peter and how they married without either family’s blessing
The story of Joy and Peter’s separation and how she set boundaries for their reconciliation

And as an Enneagram 8 with a fear of being betrayed or violated, exposing my heart in real time has been scary.

Amber Lilyestrom was challenging to type because she has the 9’s gift for embodying the full spectrum of Enneagram types.

Even as a child, she was good at tuning into the energy and emotions of the people around her. But because Amber is also a high achiever, she was mistyped.

The truth is, Amber is motivated by a need to create harmony in the world. And she has done enough inner work to connect fully with the other eight types—and do so with a posture of elegance and grace.

This ability to communicate well and care deeply serves Amber well in her work as a transformational brand strategist and business mentor working to help entrepreneurs monetize their dreams.

On this episode of The Leadership Formula, Amber shares how her sensitivity showed up early on, and we explore how the trauma of childhood sexual abuse changed the expression of Amber’s type.

I explain what differentiates a social subtype like Amber from other Enneagram 9s, describing how her drive to achieve comes from a need for certainty (not significance) and how she leans into her growth number 3 when something really matters to her.

Listen in for insight on why Amber falls into self-doubt when she’s under stress and learn how she is finding peace for herself as she steps fully into her role as an Enneagram 9, the Adaptive Peacemaker.
