145: Monique Live Coaching: How this Enneagram 7 went from Scattered to Centered

You know how I feel about Enneagram 7s.⁣⁣My daughter is an Enneagram 7, and she’s the reason why I was so passionate about learning this framework.⁣⁣⁣Listen now⁣⁣⁣That’s because as much as I loved my daughter, I didn’t understand anything about how she operated.⁣⁣I wanted to understand her instead of making her into a mini me so that she could be her very best self.⁣⁣It was almost a decade ago that I was introduced to the Enneagram and had those AHA moments about why my daughter was the way she was.⁣⁣I learned how to help her grow, as well as help myself grow alongside her. My daughter now teaches me more than anyone else on the planet.⁣⁣The Enneagram 7 is called the Enthusiast.⁣⁣They get a bad wrap as being a little all over the place, flaky, hyper, unfocused...but actually that’s because their brains operate at such a high pace and they see everything as a possibility. And what I’ve learned is when you have an Enneagram 7 in front of you, you gotta let ‘em rip.⁣⁣My client Monique is a wife, mother, business owner, and a fireball. 9 months ago when I met her I could hear the restlessness in her voice. She knew she had a lot of good stuff inside her but didn’t know how to utilize it at its best—she felt scattered and exhausted. Now she’s learned how to be true to herself while finding a harmonious flow.⁣⁣⁣Quotes:⁣2:57⁣Even if you’re not a 7, you’re going to hear how she utilizes all the other numbers to help her be her very best self. ⁣⁣8:38 ⁣The way that you guys think is beyond any of us. ⁣⁣10:34 Monique⁣You always said to me, “it’s about being effective not right.”⁣⁣15:41 ⁣I said before, if you don’t repair it, you’ll repeat it. We do what we are taught, told, and modeled. ⁣⁣17:55 ⁣The slowing down to speed up, this is huge for a 7 especially in relationships. ⁣⁣22:37⁣The best way to have somebody on board to their own journey of growth is to walk your own talk.⁣⁣23:52⁣How we make the world better is by us being better. ⁣⁣26:12 Monique⁣If I am living in ‘two steps forward’ or ‘what’s next,’ like you said, I’m missing everything that’s happening in front of me and I won’t show up well for anyone. ⁣⁣29:56⁣There’s some components in our life that have gotten us stuck in certain areas. ⁣⁣34:55⁣The work you do and the things you do in this world really do make a difference. ⁣⁣
