“So it’s a typing system, similar to other things like Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder, the five love languages, where it separates people into types, but the biggest difference being that it’s about what motivates our behavior, so it’s not about our behaviors.”
In this episode of the “We Can Do Hard Things” podcast, Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle invite Enneagram expert Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober to explore the world of the Enneagram personality typing system. They explore where Enneagram originated from and through relatable stories, humor, and expert guidance, the conversation illuminates how understanding our own Enneagram types and those of others can lead to greater self-awareness and connection.
At rooh, we highly recommend this episode because:
- Ashton breaks down each Enneagram type’s core desires and fears, providing listeners with a clear understanding of how these motivations shape their behaviors and perspectives, enabling them to identify their own patterns and those of others.
- Our team loves to learn about different personality models and how we can become more self-aware, just like Glennon, Abby, and Amanda. This episode can help you get a better idea about your own personality.
- The insightful discussion about how each Enneagram type might show up and contribute differently in social situations, such as a dinner party, showed us the value of recognizing and appreciating the unique strengths and challenges each person brings to their relationships and interactions.
