In the Vice Grip for Types 8, 9, 1

This series is focusing on the ‘vice grip’ of our types. This edition focuses on the body triad. The next edition will focus on the heart triad- types 2, 3, 4.

I have a deep passion and love for the enneagram. More so than other instruments, the enneagram helps us see how and what we pay attention to. And that determines our behaviours, our priorities, communications, our relationships, and more. And knowing our type helps us notice (with some work!) what we don't pay attention to or notice. As a Social One, I want everyone to know about the enneagram ;) and so I'm giving a whirl at writing a regular newsletter with pithy thoughts, insights, tips, and mini self-directed coaching suggestions. I really appreciate you giving this a read when you can and hope that perhaps in a moment when you find yourself in the 'grip' of your type, you also see an alternative that comes from a more self-aware place.

Initiating Conversations for Each Type

Our enneagram type influences how we show up in relationships and conversations. When we aren’t self-aware, we are what I call ‘in the grip of our type’. Our type is running the show.
