EP189: The Anatomy of Your Enneagram Type: The Enneagram SIX—Keeping Us All Safe (and In Line) with the Loyal Skeptic

Enneagram 6s ask a lot of questions. And while it might seem like they don’t trust you or they’re trying to control the situation, the truth is that they just want to be prepared.This is what makes the Loyal Skeptic the best collaborator on the Enneagram. But it can also lead to excessive worry, as the 6 gets stuck in what ifs and worst-case scenarios.So, how can the 6 use their need for certainty for good, tapping into the full anatomy of their Enneagram type to keep us all safe and in line?On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I explain how the Enneagram 6 can lean on their wings to stop overpreparing and take action, leading from their growth number 9—the Adaptive Peacemaker.I describe how a 6 shows up as an unhealthy 3 under stress and why we experience 6s as anxious, suspicious or doubting when they’re coming from a place of fear.Listen in for insight on what 6s can do to prepare others for their steady stream of questions and learn how to support a 6 in bringing their gift of devotion and trust to the world.
