Enneagram at Work

When you think of the traits that make up your personality, are you viewing them as all the things that are "wrong with you?"  Often times in my own personal experience and Enneagram teaching experience, the more we learn about ourselves it's the "negative" qualities we tend to focus on first.  Inside this final episode of the Personality Assessments at Work Series , you&a...

Experts tell us that our unconscious mind makes a majority of our decisions. Which means, most of the time, we're cruising through life on autopilot. This isn't necessarily a bad thing.  It would be impossible to be constantly "awake" to every thought, feeling, and behavior. We absolutely need autopilot turned on. The problem happens when our autopilot never gets a tune up.  Le...

When you hear the word leader what comes to mind?  Is it a person in a power suit leading from the front of a room?  Maybe someone leading a big team, inside a big corporation?  Leading as an owner of a business?  Leading a large community online or from a big stage?
