What makes you smile?

When I first learned about the enneagram, I realized very quickly that it was a tool I connected with in an incredibly deep way. It gave me clarity, increased my empathy for myself and others, and shed light on elements of myself that I had never recognized before. But most importantly...

It makes me smile. I smile when I read enneagram books. I smile when I facilitate group sessions. I smile when it gets brought up in conversation (or when I manage to work it into a conversation...).

So what makes you smile? What makes your team smile? How do we smile more and support one another in the times when we can't?

I'd love to help you figure it out. Let's chat about scheduling an enneagram session. Just thinking about it makes me smile! 😁

"Trust You"
Enneagram 6's are known for being anxious and suspicious which can make trusting others very challenging. Unless you are an enneagram 6 yourself, though, you may not know that often the hardest person for a 6 to trust is actually themselves. Thoughts, feelings, and instincts can all seem suspicious to a 6 which can lead to self-doubt and a constant search for external validation and confirmation.
A few years ago, a fellow 6 friend/colleague and I began using the phrase "trust you" to remind ourselves and each other that we don't need to look to others to agree with our thoughts, affirm our instincts, and validate our feelings. We know. We know what is inside us better than anyone else ever can and will. We are worthy of our own trust.
I recently started a new full-time job after having worked at my alma mater for my entire adult life. This has been a huge transition for me and one that I might not have been able to make a few years ago. I am so proud of my growth and ability to trust myself to know that it was time to make a change.
My dear friend Laura gifted me this bracelet with our motto as a going away gift and I hope it can be the reminder I need moving forward to break out of my type and lean into my gifts. If you are a fellow 6 or in any way share in our struggle, TRUST YOU.

All this cold and snow has me looking back at this June presentation in New Jersey at the Bonner Summer Leadership Institute!

Every group I work with is a little different--and I remember LAUGHING through the whole session with this group. In particular, I remember telling this group the contents of my suitcase for a 3-day conference which included 4 pairs of shoes. This 6 has to be prepared for anything, including a potential footwear emergency!

Is personal development one of your New Year's resolutions?

Spending time learning about ourselves and finding ways to be at our healthiest isn't selfish. It's the greatest gift we can give to those we love.

I'd love to be a part of your journey.

"The enneagram doesn't put you in a box. It shows you the box you are already in and how to get out of it" -Ian Morgan Cole

We each have all nine types inside of us, we just have one that we tend to lean on. One where we have the most skills and the least freedom.

Let's get to know our box so we can start exploring the world outside of it.

We've all got baggage. We've all got habits and quirks and patterns that we aren't exactly proud of. There's no need to hide! To truly understand ourselves, we have to own it all: the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's the only way to truly understand ourselves and begin to make change.

What you share about yourself is precious and everyone with whom you share should treat it as such.

Let's hold each other, and ourselves, with the kindness we all deserve.

If anyone ever tries to tell you your enneagram type...RUN!

You know you best. It's not my job or anyone else's to tell you who you are. I'm just here to help introduce you to yourself and the parts of you you may not have been paying attention to.
