Knowing yourself is the Wisdom!
But do you know the Enneagram Types of your 'significant other' or your Furkids?
I had a fun time with my Spaniel Bonnie, who is an Enthusiastic Type 7 (Aka the Intuitive Visionary) and my Challenging Type 8 (AKA Magnanimous Protector) 'grandchild' Alba. My daughter had gone into the office and left Alba (three months old) in my care for the day.
Years ago, the late great Don Riso, also known as the "father" of the modern Enneagram taught me how to Type his dog in New York and other dogs we met!
What's the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a system of nine personality types.
It's a map of the human psyche, providing a deep understanding of behaviour. Although we all have the nine types within us, one is most dominant, and with it comes its own set of unique gifts and challenges.
Understand 'which' of the 9 Types you were born...
By understanding your type, you can get let go of habitual patterns and open up to your own inherent gifts. As you become more aware of your type, you can move up the levels of growth and ultimately lead from your best self. You start understanding your reactions, your preferences, and how you show up for your team.
With this level of self-awareness, we can be free of the behavioural patterns that hold us back, and mostly importantly we develop an understanding of those with whom we interact.
With compassion for ourselves and others, we can use it to live a more authentic and peaceful life at home and at work.
