247. When “Doing It Right” Becomes Doing Too Much:...

Enneagram at Work ·

2026/10/07

Type 1s bring something incredibly valuable to the workplace: high standards, reliability, precision, follow-through, and a natural ability to see what could be improved. But those same strengths can become heavy. A Type 1 may notice the typo, the missed deadline, the unclear process, the skipped step, or the work that is almost right - and then quietly become the person who fixes it, checks it, follows up on it, or takes it back over. Over time, responsibility can turn into over-responsibili...

246. Using AI + the Enneagram at Work

Enneagram at Work ·

2026/10/05

AI can help us write faster, prepare for meetings, summarize information, and organize ideas. But can it also help us become better managers and teammates? In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we're looking at how AI and the Enneagram can work together as a thinking tool - not to predict, diagnose, or stereotype people, but to help us become more intentional about the way we communicate, lead, give feedback, navigate conflict, and prepare for important conversations. The goal isn't to ask AI...

2026/10/02

Not everyone walks into an Enneagram workshop excited to be there. In fact, there are usually a few skeptics in the room, and that’s okay. In this episode, I’m sharing a recent experience from an Enneagram team workshop in Nashville. One participant admitted that he didn’t want to attend the workshop and didn’t want to take the Enneagram assessment. But after receiving his results and learning more about his Type 8 pattern, his reaction changed completely. He described how surprisingly accura...

2026/09/30

“But what happens if…?” “Have we thought about…?” “Who’s responsible for…?” “What if this doesn’t work?” If you work with an Enneagram Type 6, you may be familiar with the questions. And depending on how those questions are delivered or received, they can sometimes sound like resistance, negativity, or a challenge to the person leading the conversation. But what if the Type 6 question isn’t really just a question? In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we're looking underneath a common Type 6 ...

243. What If I Relate to More Than One Enneagram Type?

Enneagram at Work ·

2026/09/28

“I can see myself in several of these.” If you’ve ever said that while trying to determine your Enneagram type, you’re not alone, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing anything wrong. In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we’re talking about why it’s completely normal to relate to multiple Enneagram types and why identifying your type requires looking beyond individual traits and behaviors. Of course you can be helpful without being a Type 2. Ambitious without being a Type 3. Security-...

2026/09/25

Someone plagiarized our website. Not exactly the way I expected to find clarity about the future of Enneagram MBA, but here we are. In this behind-the-scenes episode of Enneagram at Work, I'm sharing what happened when I discovered that a significant amount of our website messaging, design, and offers had been copied, and the unexpected good that came out of an understandably frustrating experience. Because somewhere between “Are you kidding me?” and figuring out what needed to happen next, I...

2026/09/23

Have you ever walked out of a meeting thinking a decision had been made, only to discover your coworker thought you were still discussing it? You were in the same room. You heard the same words. And somehow, you walked away with two completely different interpretations. In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we’re kicking off our Overheard at Work series by looking at what can get lost in translation during everyday workplace communication. Because we don't necessarily listen to conversations ...

2026/09/21

"You’re the Enneagram expert...can’t you just tell me what type I am?” It’s a question I hear sometimes. And while an experienced Enneagram practitioner might have a hypothesis about someone’s type, there’s a reason we should be cautious about typing people based only on what we see from the outside. In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we’re talking about the difference between observing someone’s behavior and understanding the motivation or strategy underneath it. The same behavior can com...

2026/09/19

There’s one workplace that deserves an Enneagram conversation of its own: education. In this special episode of Enneagram at Work, I’m introducing our brand-new podcast, Enneagram for Educators, co-hosted with Tawny Hall. We’ll explore how the Enneagram can help teachers, school leaders, administrators, and other education professionals better understand themselves, communicate with others, navigate stress and conflict, and strengthen the relationships that shape their schools.

2026/09/18

Your Type 9 coworker may have an opinion. They may even have a strong opinion. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to hear it in the meeting. In this episode of Enneagram at Work, we’re looking at why Enneagram Type 9s can sometimes stay quiet in group conversations, even when they have something valuable to contribute. For a Type 9, the issue isn't necessarily that they don't know what they think. They may still be processing their thoughts, considering everyone else's perspective...

2026/09/16

What happens when someone who teaches the Enneagram takes an Enneagram assessment…and gets a different type than expected? That's exactly what happened to me. I've identified as an Enneagram Type 7 for years, but recent assessments put Type 3 at the top of my results, which wasn't a total surprise. In this episode of Enneagram at Work, I'm sharing what happened next, including my recent typing interview with Mario Sikora, and what the experience reminded me about assessments, typing, and the ...

2026/09/14

Have you ever felt like one Enneagram type at work and a completely different type at home? Maybe you’re organized, polished, and decisive at work, but much more relaxed, emotional, spontaneous, or outspoken at home. Does that mean your Enneagram type changes depending on the environment? In this short episode of Enneagram at Work, we'll explore why different behavior doesn’t necessarily mean a different Enneagram type. Our behavior naturally changes based on context. At work, how we show up ...

2026/07/25

What You'll Hear in This Episode Type 5s have done the analysis; they're not reactive, and when they say something, it's because they actually mean it. There's no noise, no filler, no performance. But the same striving to feel detached and self-sufficient that makes Fives so precise can also make feedback land as robotic, delayed, or so carefully constructed that the person on the other end isn't sure whether they're being evaluated or actually talked to. We walk through three things to do an...

2026/07/22

In this episode, I sit down with Dina Smith, a licensed therapist, clinical director, and certified Enneagram coach based in Florida, to talk through the coworker chemistry between the Enneagram Type 3 (Striving to Feel Outstanding) and Type 9 (Striving to Feel at Peace). Dina identifies as a Three, and she's got a front-row seat to the Three-Nine dynamic both at home (her husband is a Nine) and at work with her own team, so I couldn't think of a better person to unpack this pairing with.

2026/07/18

What You'll Hear in This Episode Type 6s usually think through every angle before they say a word; they care deeply about fairness, and their loyalty to the people around them means the feedback is coming from a real place. But the same striving to feel certain and secure that makes Sixes so thorough can also turn a feedback conversation into something that gets overthought, over-qualified, or quietly avoided because the Six isn't quite sure how it's going to land. We walk through three thing...

I love when I get to learn from fellow Enneagram coaches and hear about their real-world experiences and fresh takes. In this episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Lee Fields and Seth "Creek" Creekmore, co-founders of Analog Enneagram, to discuss the coworker chemistry between the Enneagram Type 1 (Striving to Feel Perfect) and Type 4 (Striving to Feel Unique). Lee is a certified Enneagram coach and teacher who serves as VP of the IEA Southeast chapter and on faculty with Awareness ...

Enneagram at Work ·

2026/07/11

What You'll Hear in This Episode Type 8s are probably the most naturally comfortable type when it comes to giving feedback. They're direct, they don't dance around it, and they genuinely mean it as investment, not attack. That directness is a real asset in a world where most feedback conversations stay so soft the message never actually lands. But the same striving to feel strong that makes Eights so decisive can also make feedback hit harder than intended and leave the other person too rattl...

What You'll Hear in This Episode Type 7s are some of the most naturally energizing people in any workplace, and that energy is a genuine asset in feedback conversations. Sevens see potential quickly, frame things optimistically, and have a gift for making even hard conversations feel like they're going somewhere good. But the same striving to feel excited and satisfied that makes Sevens so fun to work with can also turn a feedback conversation into something that stays light when it needed to...
