Today, we're delving into a topic that's essential for personal growth and success: taking ownership. Whether it's in our careers, relationships, or personal endeavors, embracing ownership can truly transform our lives.

Overall, ownership involves both the rights and the obligations associated with having control or possession over something.

In the context of our discussion today and at its core, it's about acknowledging our responsibilities, actions, and their consequences.

It's about stepping up and recognizing that we have the power to shape our lives.

Happy New Year!

Can you believe that we are already starting another new year? Some of you might be fist-pumping the air, ready to conquer your well-defined goals and objectives. Others may feel more like pulling the covers over your head. No matter where you stand on the hype meter, one thing's for sure: Transformation – be it personal or professional – is rarely a straight line. It's a messy, beautiful, sometimes gut-wrenching journey.

Think about it: you might be thrilled about that promotion, but suddenly your work-life balance is a tightrope walk. Or maybe you're finally kicking off that passion project, only to have self-doubt whisper in your ear. Health worries, family dramas, job uncertainties – life throws curveballs at the best of us. But here's the thing: it's in the facing of these curveballs that True Transformation happens.

So, buckle up, because this episode is all about navigating the twists and turns of your own Transformation.

So far, we’ve covered a lot of ground in this Enneagram miniseries. Today, we are talking about the Head Triad, which includes Types 5, 6, and 7. We also have a special guest joining us. Her name is Liana Dobbs and she's a Type 6.

As we’ve talked about before, each Enneagram type seeks to validate themself in different ways. Triads split the nine Enneagram types into three sections based on their underlying emotions and go-to decision-making style, specifically in times of stress.

Of course, all Enneagram types can relate to all three triads, and part of the theory behind the Enneagram is that all nine types dwell within us. However, one is our natural “go-to,” or core personality type, and which Enneagram triad you belong to can tell you a lot about how you filter your everyday experiences.

Understanding what the Triads mean gives you a deeper insight into each Enneagram type and how they interconnect. Each of the nine types is placed into one of three Enneagram "triads"or "centers of intelligence": the Instinctive Center, the Feeling Center and the Thinking Center. These are the different ways human beings perceive their experiences and their dominant emotions such as shame, fear, and anger.

What is exciting about how the Triads connect to us here at The COMO Group is that Sonal, Christine, and I are all in the same triad. We spoke about the "Heart Triad" in our previous episode.

In our first episode, we introduced some of the big ideas of the Enneagram. The Enneagram is mostly used for personal self-knowledge and personality development, offering a powerful tool for better understanding your core motivations and applying that knowledge to all areas of your life, including conflict resolution, team dynamics, leadership and emotional intelligence.

In the previous episodes, Christine and Jacob covered the 9 types of leadership and then Sonal and Jacob focuses on the 9 types at work. They shared insights about each types’ communication style, ideal work environment, and common professions and industries each type leans toward.

In this bite-sized episode, Jacob briefly covers Enneagram Type Integration & Disintegration, also talked about as Stress and Security Numbers. In simple terms, each Enneagram type disintegrates into another type, taking on the qualities of the other in times of stress and security.

  • Your "Stress Number" is the number-type your personality moves toward when you are overwhelmed, or under fire. Meanwhile, your “Security Number” can refer to the number-type your personality moves toward when you are in a good place and safe or satisfied.

It’s important to note that the Enneagram is just a tool in the toolkit of transformation. We personally think it is exciting to see how many business leaders are turning to the Enneagram to learn more about their employees and how to best equip them for success. In an office setting, these insights can explain why some collaborators need more time to process information than others, or why some employees find it difficult to speak up. Co-workers who possess Enneagram knowledge understand each other’s intentions, which can go a long way in resolving conflict, or even preventing it, and supervisors can task employees in a way that sets them up for success.

  • In this miniseries, we are exploring the Enneagram of Personality.

In this episode, Christine and Jacob discuss how leaders can leverage Enneagram insights to better understand their team members and tailor their leadership approach accordingly. We share brief explanations of the leadership styles of each Enneagram type and in which situations they may be the right person to turn to.

The Enneagram is mostly used for personal self-knowledge and personality development, offering a powerful tool for better understanding your core motivations and applying that knowledge to all areas of your life, including conflict resolution, team dynamics, leadership and emotional intelligence.

Because it identifies opportunities for development for each individual type, it has become widely used in areas such as counseling, psychotherapy, business development, parenting and education.

In this miniseries, we will explore the Enneagram of Personality. There are hundreds if not thousands of books and podcasts on the topic, so we thought we would focus on the Enneagram personalities in the workplace. Of course, if you’ve never heard about the Enneagram or don’t know much about it, then you’re in the right place.

In this episode, we will share a brief overview of the Enneagram to prepare us for the following, more in-depth episodes. What it is, How it works, and Why it’s a popular tool to use. For those who are already familiar with the Enneagram, we’re certain you will still gain some insight from this miniseries, since we will be sharing personal stories and reflections from our own use of the Enneagram.

The Enneagram is mostly used for personal self-knowledge and personality development, offering a powerful tool for better understanding your core motivations and applying that knowledge to all areas of your life, including conflict resolution, team dynamics, leadership and emotional intelligence.
