Be careful of simplistic Enneagram prescriptions
We can’t write a prescription based on the arrows for each Enneagram type as in “Enneagram 6 goes to Enneagram 9 in order to be "healthy" or Enneagram 4 needs to "go to" Enneagram 1.” It’s not how it works. We're too different based on factors like culture,...

Difficult Conversations
Conversational intelligence impacts your relationships. So why do we avoid them so frequently? The Enneagram is helpful in understanding our tendencies.
Is your Enneagram content Entertainment, Information or Transformation?
Enneagram memes and videos make me laugh (and cringe). The cringe is from this work for over 20 years and seeing a dramatic increase in people who come to their sessions mistyped and misinformed.
We have to do a lot of “unlearning.” I like to make distinctions with people new to the Enneagram between Entertainment, Information and Transformation:
Meet Niki Pappas, Our New Enneagram Typing Associate!
