Episode Description
In this episode, I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Eight from the other side of the globe in Cape Town, South Africa. In our conversation, we explore how the protective-nature and energetic intensity of the Type 8 structure often causes us to react in more controlling ways than intended. We sense into the somatic experience of both the charged-up intensity of protecting others as well as the gentle calmness that we settled into as we processed the emotions coming up for her. Her presence in this coaching conversation beautifully demonstrates how strength AND gentleness are both a part of those of us that lead with Type Eight. If you lead with Type Eight or have Enneagram Eights in your life, this episode is for you. Let’s listen in with curiosity & compassion as we transition into the coaching space.
