The Enneagram Edge with Host Tracy O’Malley

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.

In this episode of "Lead with the Enneagram," we dive deep into the world of Enneagram Type 7s with our vibrant guest, Merilou DeLosSantos from New York. As your host, Tracy, I share my initial skepticism about the Enneagram and my journey to embracing it as a powerful tool for personal and professional development.

We explore the complexities of the Enneagram, particularly for those who identify as Type 7s, known for their enthusiasm and visionary qualities. Merilou, a self-preservation Enneagram 7 with a 728 tritype, joins us to discuss the challenges of discernment and alignment in her life, especially when faced with the allure of new and exciting opportunities.

Throughout our conversation, we touch on the importance of understanding the nuances of your Enneagram type, including the role of wings and how they can support your core type. We also delve into the concept of trauma bonding and how to navigate relationships and client interactions without falling into patterns of enabling or victimhood.

Merilou shares her aspirations for starting a podcast called "Doses of Her," aiming to empower women through discussions on transitions in relationships, careers, and entrepreneurship. We discuss the significance of asserting boundaries and the ongoing process of shedding relationships that no longer serve our growth.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to harness the power of their Enneagram type to lead a more fulfilling life. Whether you're a Type 7 or simply curious about the Enneagram, join us for an insightful and transformative conversation.

This week, we took a deep dive into the heart of entrepreneurship and the importance of playing the long game. I had the pleasure of chatting with my dear friend and business consultant coach, Jason Lew, who brought a wealth of knowledge and integrity to our candid conversation.

We tackled the often grueling reality of showing up on social media and the pressure to constantly feed the content monster. Jason and I discussed the temptation to chase quick wins and how it can lead us to forget that entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint. We explored the significance of staying true to ourselves and our values to create lasting transformation and the life we desire.

In a world obsessed with the Enneagram, I also shared my initial skepticism about this tool and how, over a decade later, it has profoundly impacted my life and work. From personal growth to building bulletproof leadership and sales teams, the Enneagram has been a game-changer. And while we didn't focus on the Enneagram much in this episode, the underlying principles of authenticity and self-awareness were ever-present.

Jason's insights into building a sustainable business without being a slave to social media algorithms were eye-opening. He emphasized the importance of nurturing relationships with potential clients over time and creating a business that aligns with who we are at our core.

In this episode of "Lead with the Enneagram," we're tackling the big question: What are you willing to lose to achieve what you want? It's about discerning true desires from shiny distractions and understanding the sacrifices necessary for authentic success.

I'll share my own journey of self-discovery, the tough choices I've made, and how the Enneagram has been a guiding light through it all. We'll discuss the importance of being transparent with ourselves, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing the discomfort that comes with growth.
And because I love to keep it real, I'll share a personal mishap from this morning that reminded me to maintain perspective. Plus, I'll read a poignant piece from "The Book of Awakening" that beautifully captures the essence of today's message.

So, if you're ready to get real about your big dreams and callings, and you're not afraid of a little tough love, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I take you on a journey through the complexities and transformative power of the Enneagram, especially focusing on Type 8's path to vulnerability and strength.

Today's episode is particularly special as we delve into the "hotline" segment where listeners, who've been accurately typed by me, get to ask deeper questions about their Enneagram journey. Our guest, Talia, a vibrant Enneagram 8 like myself, shares her experiences from participating in one of my immersive retreats. Despite her initial skepticism about her type, Talia's story is a testament to the power of the Enneagram in uncovering our true selves.

We explore the challenges eights face in relationships, particularly the struggle with vulnerability and the tendency to test our partners. Talia and I discuss the importance of letting go of control and allowing ourselves to be supported, a lesson that's crucial for eights who crave intimacy yet fear betrayal.

Diving into the "five cave" phenomenon, we talk about the Enneagram 8's stress response and how it can lead to isolation and a false sense of security. I share insights on how to navigate this space with compassion and use it as an opportunity for growth rather than a place to hide.

Lastly, we touch on the balance between masculine and feminine energies, emphasizing the strength that comes from embracing both. Talia's upcoming children's book, which encourages boys to express their emotions, beautifully illustrates this balance and the importance of emotional literacy for all genders.

If you're an Enneagram 8, love one, or simply want to understand the dance between vulnerability and strength, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we unpack the layers of the Enneagram and learn to lead with authenticity and courage

Welcome to episode 400!!

Over the years, I've gone from being an Enneagram skeptic to integrating it deeply into my life and work. I've used it to build bulletproof leadership and sales teams, work with one-on-one clients, couples, and lead workshops for top executives around the world. The Enneagram has been a complex but powerful tool, and I'm here to guide you through it.

In this episode, I'll share personal stories and lessons learned throughout the journey of this podcast. From initially launching on New Year's Eve 2019 to navigating the changes the world has faced, including COVID and leadership shifts, it's been a wild ride.

I've celebrated personal milestones like falling in love after a seven-year sabbatical from dating, becoming an empty nester as my children have grown and built their own lives, and even going through painful friendship divorces. These experiences have taught me about growth, vulnerability, and staying true to oneself.

Professionally, I've had the honor of working with powerhouse companies like Google, Amazon, John Deere, YouTube, and Facebook. These opportunities have come because I've stayed true to my calling and worked tirelessly to serve others.Looking ahead, I feel a shakeup coming. There will be bold changes in how I show up online, the content of the podcast, and even possibly a new title. I'm in a cocoon phase, preparing for a transformation that will allow me to serve you with even more truth and guidance.

I'm grateful for each and every one of you who have joined me on this journey. Whether you've been here from the start or just found the podcast, know that I'm committed to nurturing, protecting, and guiding you through your own growth and transformation.

Here's to the next chapter, to episode 401 and beyond. I'm excited to continue this journey with you, sharing the messy, the miracles, and the magic of life through the lens of the Enneagram.

In this episode of Lead with the Enneagram, we dive into the transformative power of the Enneagram in team building, both in professional and personal spheres. As your host, Tracy, I share my journey from being an Enneagram skeptic to a passionate advocate, using it to foster bulletproof leadership and sales teams, and to facilitate workshops for Fortune 100 executives.

We discuss the critical importance of team culture and the necessity of investing in your teams, especially in today's climate of budget constraints and remote working. I emphasize that culture isn't just a part of the team dynamic; it is the team dynamic. The Enneagram serves as a shared language and framework that can lead to authentic engagement, job satisfaction, increased productivity, and retention.

Throughout the episode, I highlight common pitfalls in team building, such as a one-size-fits-all approach, and how the Enneagram can help tailor strategies to individual team members' needs. By understanding each person's core desires, fears, and motivators, leaders can create a work environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

I also touch on the importance of leaders setting the example and fostering a culture of understanding, respect, and personal growth. Using the Enneagram, leaders can better manage their teams, communicate effectively, and provide development opportunities that align with each team member's growth path.

For those interested in integrating the Enneagram into their teams, I offer workshops and consulting services to help customize the approach to your specific needs. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or part of a corporate team, the Enneagram can be a game-changer in creating a harmonious and productive work environment.
