It’s the same scene every time with this poor kid in the "hallway incident", but when you put nine different Enneagram types in the role of the person stepping in to help, you get nine completely different reasons for doing so.
In this episode, I walk you through a story that brings the Enneagram motivations to life. Because the Enneagram is all about motivation, not behavior. This is why it can be challenging to land on your type - and why we do NOT ever want to type others!
You’ll see how the same action can be fueled by very different motivations, and why:

Type 1 helps to restore what is right
Type 2 helps to care for others
Type 3 helps to be seen as capable
Type 4 helps to connect authentically
Type 5 helps to be competent
Type 6 helps to provide safety
Type 7 helps to lighten the mood
Type 8 helps to protect
Type 9 helps to keep the peace.

Whether you’re new to the Enneagram or you’ve been studying it for years, this episode will give you a practical way to understand why people (including yourself) do what they do.
