Subtypes of Enneagram Type Eight

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth "Creek" Creekmore talk about the subtypes of Enneagram Type Eight, “Striving to Feel Powerful.” While Mario thinks Type Eight is one of the easier types to figure out (as he’s a Type Eight), other types are commonly mistaken for this type. Listen as they draw from the film, The Godfather, which provides perfect examples of the three subtypes of the Eight.“I think that Eights are very visible. You can easily tell when somebody’s an Eight.” -María José [03:21]“What’s driving the Eight deep down inside is this need to feel alive. It’s not stimulation in the same sense of the Seven. It’s something deeper. It’s something more visceral. I just need to feel like I am engaged with the world in some way.” -Mario [30:25]“I think of my experience with–Not Mario, but another Navigating Eight–they assume they understand and have mastery until they don’t.” -Creek [24:46]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[00:29] Common misunderstandings[02:59] The Preserving Eight[08:17] Types mistaken for Preserving Eight[10:48] The Godfather, the perfect example[12:18] Pattern of Expression for Preserving Eight[17:37] The Navigating Eight[19:44] Eights assume leadership[25:36] Pattern of Expression for Navigating Eight[30:17] This need to feel alive[32:10] The Transmitting Eight[38:46] Pattern of Expression for Transmitting Eight[45:45] Mario’s word of wisdom[46:39] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism
