Using the Enneagram for Personal Change

The first step in using the Enneagram framework for personal development is self-observation. Most of us don't see our type's patterns manifesting in the moment. Practice journaling daily to see how your type is showing up. This self awareness is the key to personal development and leadership growth.

For example: 

1/13/22

-I saw my type 4 pattern show up by over analyzing my performance while I am presenting to the team. This took away from noticing how well my colleague did and performed. Next time I want to shift how much attention I give to self. 

1/14/22 

-Today I noticed myself embracing equanimity by not giving into my feelings about how our office culture could be better. Instead I noted how grateful I am for the individuals I work with and the talents they bring.
