Self-preservation Enneagram 2s are slightly shy and completely charming. They want to be taken care of but resist being dependent on others. They feel responsible for other’s happiness and tend to withdraw when they fear rejection.Dorothy Illson is the Founder of Needle’s Eye Media, full-service digital advertising agency that helps businesses leverage paid traffic to achieve sustainable growth. And while her business is thriving, Dorothy often blames herself for anything she perceives as wrong and wastes time worrying that people are mad at her.So, how might she leverage the Enneagram to stop ruminating on the stories she’s telling herself and start leading and loving from an authentic place?On this episode of The Leadership Formula, Dorothy explains how she gets worked up when she thinks she’s wronged someone, describing her need to be liked and appreciated as an Enneagram 2.Dorothy shares her ability to read people’s needs and make them feel supported, even though she worries about burdening others and is slow to ask for help herself.Listen in for insight on what it looks like when Dorothy is stretching into her growth number 4 and learn how to help a 2 realize that their worth is not based on what they do for others—and make decisions accordingly.
