I'm a hypocrite. Because I literally published an Enneagram book about preventing burnout... And while launching said book... I completely burned out 😅 Even Enneagram "experts desperately need to take their own advice sometimes. So here is my official plan to refill my Type 3 cup:
That’s my little life update. Now onto some Enneagram things that might make your day more interesting: The Tiny Communication Shift That Changed an Eight’s LifeThat’s what happened to an Enneagram Eight I met while teaching a leadership workshop for a company in San Diego. At one point, we were talking about communication. Specifically, how Eights can adapt their style when they’re speaking to people who need a softer entry point into hard conversations. Because the classic Eight approach is, to put it gently, direct. No small talk or cushioning. Just… bam! Here’s the issue! Which can work great with some types. But with more relational types (like Twos), that level of bluntness can immediately put them on the defensive. That’s when one of the leaders—let’s call him Tom, because I’m not about to blast his real name on the internet—shared something that could be a game-changer for Eights. What ACTUALLY Happens at My Corporate Enneagram TrainingsIn the last two weeks, I flew to North Carolina TWICE (😅 ) to keynote speak at two conferences for NC Farm Bureau. It was SO FREAKING FUN. Want to do something similar for your workplace? I'll connect the Enneagram to work situations your team’s already dealing with so you see an impact on efficiency and morale like that 🫰 → Learn more about my workshops Your Next Book Club RecommendationMy guided Enneagram journal has officially been in the world for 39 days! 🎉 I'm thoroughly enjoying reading all the reviews coming in. 😊 → Get your copy of "My Enneagram" Happy Discovering, Abbey |

You guyssss. I'm back at it again with some more CELEBRITY ENNEAGRAM NEWS 🗞️ 🎉 Recently, Amy Poehler (can we just call her the Enneagram Queen now?) brought up the Enneagram with guest Kerry Washington on a recent episode of Good Hang. They landed on Kerry as a Type Three, Rashida Jones as a Type Seven (with a wing 6), and Reese Witherspoon as a hard-core Type Three. (This lines up with a story from Jim McPartlin’s The Enneagram at Work. When he was managing a hotel, Reese Witherspoon paused...
Your mom, your best friend, your partner, and the person writing this email (cough cough) all have a problem. We’re all emotionally unbalanced. Like it or not, your well-being (or lack of it) hinges on how out of whack your levels of anxiety, shame, or anger are. And if you’re wondering how all of us being emotionally unhinged has anything to do with the Enneagram, well… There’s this thing called triads. A triad is a grouping of three types that have core traits in common. So if you're torn...
It's the most important thing you can do for yourself... And it connects to something that changed millions of lives. When Muhammad Yunus was traveling through Bangladesh, he saw families trapped in poverty. Instead of just feeling sad about it, he got curious and asked: What is the root issue here?
