Shame & The Eneagram: What's Your Type?

What a powerful conversation with Jackie Contessa about the eneagram and not only what it is but how we can use it as a support tool to guide us in our journey to self-awareness. We talk pretty openly about the strengths of the enagram but also the limitations in its application and how to reframe the way we think about assessments in general. Some of my favorite points included: The difference between emotional intelligence and self-awareness The importance of knowing yourself fully to live your best life The role of shame in leading us to believe we are both too much and not enough The reality that personality tests are only as powerful as what you do with them The honest truth about doing self-awareness work The difference between the eneagram from other assessments and what this can unlock for you in your journey to self-awareness The effect of trauma on our personality test results The reason NOT to do an online personality test WHO the eneagram is for and HOW we need to own it’s application in our lives The ways the eneagram has been used to reduce people to a subtype and how not to get stuck in that headspace More About Jackie: Jackie Contessa, referred to affectionately as, “An Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove,” is passionate beyond belief about making sure that self-awareness is demystified, once and for all.
