I teach Enneagram workshops with corporate and non-profit teams, and I also facilitate executive coaching as part of that professional development experience. I’d love to bring the Enneagram to your workplace!Today on the podcast, I’m join in a live coaching session with an Enneagram One after the 3rd in a set of four Enneagram Workshops that I have facilitated & will continue to facilitate with her work team. In our coaching conversation we explore how Type Ones can be mindful in their delivery of feedback and constructive criticism within the workplace. We explore some of the underlying emotions of Type One’s in moments of realizing how much needs fix, done, cleaned up etc. and how if we can allow those emotions to move through our system, it will drastically improve the way we approach others and even ourselves in conversations of feedback and needed improvement.

I’d love to bring the Enneagram to your workplace!Today on the podcast, I’m joined in a live coaching session with an Enneagram Eight that’s a Vice President within her organization. In this coaching conversation we consider vulnerability - what it means to be vulnerability and steps to take towards vulnerability. In our time together, we consider the defense mechanism of Type 8, which is Denial, and how that causes Enneagram 8s to filter out input, information, and sensations that cause them to feel weak. We explore the place for vulnerability in the workplace, and how that might impact everyone’s experience - both the 8 & the rest of the team.

I’d love to bring the Enneagram to your workplace!Today on the podcast, I’m join in a live coaching session with an Enneagram Six that was introduced to my work through some mutual connections, so I was thankful that she accepted the invitation to be on the podcast. In this coaching session, we explore the increased sensitivity Type Sixes have to the information they are picking up in their surroundings, and some practices to turn down the volume on that input so that it’s not so overwhelming & draining. We also considered some practices to help move the internal chatter that’s created into her external reality so the concerns, scenarios and solutions don’t just keep looping in her mind. We also take a quick look at some of the nuances in the three Subtypes of Type 6 when you overlap the instinct with the Enneagram Type.

Today on the podcast, I’m join in a live coaching session with an Enneagram Seven after an Enneagram Workshop that I facilitated with his work team. In this coaching session, we explore the three different Subtypes that are created when you overlay the instincts (Self-preservation, Social & 1:1) with an Enneagram Seven. We also consider how Type 7s are naturally self-motivated, so there is an invitation to be mindful in how you’re supporting & empowering other Types that don’t have the same internal drive.

I’d love to bring the Enneagram to your workplace!Today on the podcast, I’m join in a live coaching session with an Enneagram Two from my Instagram community that accepted the invitation to be on the podcast. In this coaching session, we explore the internal conflict she feels at work about wanting to be in connection with others at work, but also wanting to just put her head down and get the work done. We explore some of the qualities Enneagram Twos experience in that movement to Type 8 as a stress number, and when they are stressed at work (or picking up on everyone else’s stress), sometimes the overwhelm of that causes the Type Two to become a lone-ranger and just focus on the tasks. In this coaching session, she also shares some of her personal journey that she is processing and unpacking, which is another gentle reminder that everyone that shows up at work are also humans not just workers.

Today on the podcast, I’m join in a live coaching session with an Enneagram Nine after an Enneagram Workshop that I facilitated with her work team. In this coaching session, we explore the unique dynamic she experiences as a 9 working on a small team where 5 of the 8 team members lead with Type 3 The Achiever as their dominant Enneagram Type. We consider the tension of trying to keep up with the quick pace of a Type 3 work environment and how she can know and more clearly communicate her needs in order to work well with the team. We take a look at the stress & security movement for Type 9s, but specifically explore how the stress movement to Type Six can be a really isolating when the Type 9 isn’t able to communicate their need for support.

I’d love to bring the Enneagram to your workplace!Today on the podcast, I’m join in a live coaching session with an Enneagram One after an Enneagram Workshop that I facilitated with her work team. In this coaching session, we explore the movement Ones experience to Type Seven in security and to Type Four in stress. We specifically explore how the stress movement to Type Four can be a resource if the One intentionally moves to the “high side” of Type Four and incorporates practices for self-reflection and experiencing their feelings in real time. We consider the self-restraint and self-containment that’s a natural part of the Type One structure and how we might relieve some of the built-up pressure so that the pressure-cooker doesn’t explode in time.

In this live coaching session, I'm joined by an Enneagram Four after an Enneagram Workshop facilitated with his team at work. In this coaching session with an Enneagram Four, we pack some of the qualities of the Withdrawn stance and the challenges of managing your energy levels in corporate America. We also consider the shame created in feelings of inferiority and how that internal perspective also costs the Fours a tremendous amount of energy. We consider how to move towards balance and equanimity in the workplace and in personal spaces as well.

Hey Enneagram Friend! I’m Abbi - an IEA Accredited Enneagram Teacher & Narrative Enneagram Practitioner. I teach Enneagram workshops with corporate and non-profit teams, and I also facilitate executive coaching as part of that professional development experience.In this season of Enneagram Coaching with Abbi, I share live coaching episodes where we explore the dynamics of our Enneagram Type within the context of our work environment. For those in the workforce, we spend the bulk of our work week interacting with various personalities from our supervisor to co-workers to the clients & customers we serve. Sometimes those interactions with others are incredibly life-giving, but we can also find ourselves discouraged & exhausted by the personality dynamics in our workplace. In a recent article in Psychology Today, it was reported that over 50% of employees quit because of a bad manager, which creates a drain on resources due to employee turnover. A lack of self-awareness and emotional intelligence within the workplace has a direct impact on staff retention and the organizations ability to thrive in their industry. Not only will you benefit in an increased self-awareness from understanding your own Enneagram Type, but having more in-depth knowledge about all the nine Types fosters emotional intelligence & can dramatically improve your working experience with others. In a recent Forbes article, about 80% of millennial respondents indicated that emotional intelligence is something they actively focus on as they develop their careers. My intention is that this podcast, along with the corporate Enneagram workshops I teach, will be a resource in your personal and professional growth. The first episode in this fourth season of Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez releases on March 13th, 2024 so follow along and subscribe for free wherever you listen to podcasts.

This has been an incredible season to create with amazing guest teachers on the podcast as well as incredible people just like you that jumped into the coaching space with me for the live coaching episodes. I feel honored & humbled when I look back through the episodes at the many people gracious enough to share in those conversations with me.I started this podcast in August this past fall releasing episodes each week, but as my kiddos transition out of the school year, I’ve realized that I have to set some parts of my work aside so that I have the space to show up & be present with my kiddos.So, Enneagram Friends, here is what you can expect from me this summer. You can expect that I will keep learning & growing this summer. I’m currently half-way through a 100hour Somatic Stress Release training so that I can add somatic stress coaching into my Enneagram coaching. As I work with individuals in the coaching space, so often these moments of overwhelm & chaos surface no matter what the Enneagram Type and so this program is another set of tools & skills to best support my clients.You can also anticipate that I will have less availability this summer as I spend time with my kiddos. If you’re interested in starting a coaching relationship to meet weekly in the coaching space or even to just schedule an initial session, I want to encourage you to do that sooner than later as my availability will fill up quickly. Don’t wait to get the support you need.And lastly you can anticipate that I’ll be back on the podcast this coming fall - continuing to provide spaces for you to increase your self-awareness through the lens of the Enneagram & invite you to consider some of the tools & practices you can incorporate to move out of feeling stuck into truly thriving. This is the farewell to Season 2 and a promise to join back with you in the fall. I hope that your summer is filled with hope, possibility, & joy - and if you find that it’s not - come join me in the coaching space. Until then friends!Interested in Enneagram coaching?

Chichi Agorom joins the podcast today to share about her new book The Enneagram for Black Liberation and to offer deeper insights on some of what she shares in her writings. We explore the idea of our Enneagram Types as armor with the awareness that those who hold marginalized identities aren’t always safe to put down the armor of their Type. Chichi contends that the Enneagram is not just a system for individual freedom & wholeness, but rather one that can move us towards collective wholeness & liberation.

She is a Certified Enneagram Teacher & Practitioner, Adjunct Faculty with the Narrative Enneagram, and holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Post-Master's Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy.

In this coaching session with an Enneagram Nine, we explore the deep desire for both peace & autonomy. She shares the experience of digging her heels in when others are pushing or pulling her as well as the internal desire to not have such stubborn boundaries with others. We explore the “too muchness” & overwhelm that’s felt in the Type Nine structure and how we can help support ourselves so that we don’t instantly collapse or hide when we feel swept up in the undertow of others. In our coaching conversation, we give some language to the felt-sense of boundaries and the overwhelm so that we have more awareness of our experience in real-time. I hope you’ll listen in with curiosity & see what resonates in your experience.Interested in Enneagram coaching?

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.Interested in Enneagram coaching?

In this coaching session with an Enneagram Seven, we explore the orientation of positivity and the avoidance of negative emotions as part of her Type-structure. We consider the experience of idealizing a situation and the incredible disappointment that’s experienced when the situation doesn’t meet what we’d hoped for. We talk about how to experience & metabolize emotions so that they don’t keep “hanging out in the passenger seat” unresolved & ignored while we just keep driving on. This Type Seven is a part of a coaching group I facilitate with women that are all in the Assertive Stance, so it was great to have an opportunity to connect with her 1-on-1 in the coaching space.

In today’s episode, I’m joined in the coaching space by an Enneagram Six that wants to explore the worst-case scenario aspect of her personality. In our conversation we take a look at what’s happening under the surface in our nervous system during Six’s hyper-vigilance & how we better cope so that we aren’t derailed when concerns arise.

I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Five and together we explore the orientation to the strong inner world that’s a significant element in the Type Five structure. We consider the energy expelled in the mental to-do list that’s consistently shifting based on the remaining energy & time for the day. We also explore the sensation of being snapped back into reality when someone abruptly interrupts our thoughts & pulls us out of that internal world. And we also consider the invitation to connect with our kiddos in parenting from a heart space rather than a mental problem solving space. I hope you’ll listen in with curiosity & see what resonates in your experience. Individual Coaching: Interested in Enneagram coaching?

I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Four that desires to show up well in conversations with her Type Five partner. We explore the feelings of shame that can exacerbate these moments & how we might move out of the heart space into a more embodied approach to processing emotions. We also took a look at the dynamic of Type Four & Type Fives withdrawing and how they can communicate that need well to each other. We also touched on the moment of Type Four to Type Two in seasons of stress. The Type Four in the coaching space for this episode is someone I formerly supervised years ago now, so it was such a gift to be back into a one-on-one space with her again.

In this episode, I share the coaching space with an Enneagram Three that desires some reprieve from the burden of expectations his Type Three structure often creates for him. We explore the hustle & desire to accomplish that’s intrinsic for Type Threes and how we can balance out some of the anxiety & shame around expectations by slowing down to check in with himself.  In our conversation, there’s also a gentle invitation to be kind to himself when he notices his Type Three structure emerge, which is a good reminder for all of us as we become more aware of our blindspots. The Enneagram Three in this coaching space is a friend & former co-worker, so it was really a gift to get to share the coaching space with him. I hope you’ll listen in with curiosity & compassion and see what resonates in your experience.Group Coaching (Women’s): Join the next Group Coaching cohort beginning January 26th.

Hey Enneagram Friends! I’m Abbi, an IEA Accredited Enneagram Coach & Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Welcome to my podcast: Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez. I started this podcast as a resource for those desiring not just to learn more about the Enneagram, but for those seeking real transformation in the areas where they feel overwhelmed or stuck. In this season, I’ll continue to offer you a glimpse into real live coaching sessions with people just like you that are just trying to live their lives well. As a Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I’ll incorporate contemplative practices, meditations & somatic breath-work that I have found to be instrumental in moving the Enneagram from intellectual knowledge to transformational wisdom.Outside of the coaching space, I will also teach you how to apply the wisdom of the Enneagram into different aspects of your life from self-care to setting boundaries to navigating relationships.The first episodes in the second season of Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez releases on January 2nd so follow or subscribe for free wherever you listen to podcasts.
