EP273: {Special Series} Being an Enneagram Two - The Good, Beautiful, Hard, and Ugly of the Helper

Enneagram 2s are very warm, giving, and caring. Their gift is their intuitive ability to anticipate the needs of others or determine the exact 'right thing' for any situation. <br /><br />People-centered and relationship-focused, they excel in careers demanding engagement with people and clients. <br /><br />Known as the Considerate Helper, Enneagram Type 2s are the connectors of the Enneagram. <br /><br />But, they're often unaware of their subconscious need to over-give to get love and appreciation.<br /><br />So, how can 2s learn to stop over-giving and set healthy boundaries?<br /><br />On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I will dive into some of the qualities, motives, behaviors, and fears of the Enneagram 2. <br /><br />I'll walk you through Type 2s stress triggers, their difficulties setting boundaries, and how this can lead to relationship-damaging cycles of over-giving and resentment if left unchecked.<br /><br />Listen in as I share how the Enneagram 2 can use all the tools available to them through the Enneagram to learn to discern, stop over-fixating on others, end enabling, step out of 'fixer' mode, and establish the healthy boundaries needed for more balanced, healthy relationships. <br /><br />Plus, how you can encourage YOUR Enneagram 2 to express their needs to you so you can help them discover what lights them up so they can say yes to the things that matter to them.<br /><br />The Enneagram is the fastest shifting growth tool I have ever used.
