EP271: {Special Series} Being an Enneagram One- The Good, Beautiful, Hard, and Ugly of the Reformer

Enneagram type 1s value integrity and lead by example. They walk their talk and do what they say they're going to do.<br /><br />They are super quality-minded, have a knack for detail, and pay attention to quality and the application of standards. <br /><br />As you know, I like to call Enneagram 1s the 'sheriff in town' because of their strong sense of right and wrong and their propensity toward black-and-white thinking. They are the first person you should call when you need an accountability partner to stay on track.<br /><br />But those same qualities can also get them into trouble if they are unable to see how the things that come so easily to them can be so tricky for another Enneagram type.<br /><br />So, how can 1s learn to communicate their gifts effectively and open themselves up to learning from others? <br /><br />On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I walk you through the complete picture of the Enneagram type 1, from the gifts they bring to the world to the blind spots that sometimes keep them from communicating effectively. <br /><br />I discuss where 1s go when they are under stress, and how they can lean into their growth number and use mindfulness practices (like yoga) for more spontaneity and a lighter view of the world we're living in. <br /><br />Listen in as I share how Enneagram1s can use their wings to focus on the needs (and points of view) of the other Enneagram types for more effective communication. Plus, how the 3 subtypes play into individual expression. <br /><br />If you're not sure what your Enneagram type is, please go to TracyO'Malley.com and book an Enneagram Kickstart Session.<br /><br /><br />What You Will Learn <br /> <br />Which Enneagram type is the harshest self-critic<br />Why an Enneagram 1 is the perfect person to help hold you accountable to your goals<br />How an 1's body language can keep them from conveying their true heart message <br />Why Enneagram 1s need lots of praise and affirmation<br />How a 1s rigid views can sometimes cause them to point out the
