Beyond Your Number
11/29/23 • 28 min
Ever been caught in a heated argument and wished you had an escape hatch to peace? Or maybe you've left a disagreement feeling drained and misunderstood? Welcome to our latest episode of Enneagram U, where we, Damon and Kelly, use the language of the Enneagram to reshape how you handle conflict. Let us guide you through the maze of tension and disagreements, providing you with the tools to not only survive conflict but to thrive within it.
Conflict is an unavoidable part of life, and each of us, depending on our Enneagram number, handles it differently. Picture this episode as your personal compass, pointing you towards understanding not only your own reactions but also the reactions of others around you. We'll be discussing how rest is critical during conflict, the role of closure and emotions, and how attachment issues can influence the conflict. We also share tailored advice for each Enneagram type, like for type twos' need to acknowledge their role in conflict, and type threes' focus on positive outcomes.
This episode doesn't stop at individual conflicts, we also explore conflict within team settings. We discuss the importance of constructive conflict and the concept of radical candor. Remember, conflict can strengthen teams. It's not about 'winning' the argument but understanding different perspectives. So, come along with us on this journey of understanding and navigating conflict, and emerge stronger, more empathetic, and more insightful than ever before.

Enneagram Mistypes: Part 3
Beyond Your Number
11/15/23 • 23 min
Ever puzzled over your Enneagram number, or just have an itch to delve into the captivating realm of personality studies? Here's your golden ticket! Kelly and I open the Pandora's box of Enneagram mistypes, shining the spotlight particularly on the nuanced distinctions between numbers seven, eight, and nine. A seven, often misunderstood as a three, is a free spirit, radiating joy and fun, as spontaneous and carefree as the monkey that symbolizes it. In contrast, the more calculated three, represented by a peacock, craves validation and tends to think before they speak.
As we navigate further down this rabbit hole, we scrutinize the intriguing dynamics of Enneagram numbers two, four, and five, each with its unique motivations and behavior patterns. From the dependency-driven twos, assertive eights, to the introspective fours and serene nines, we demystify their complex personalities. We also touch upon the fascinating similarities between pairs like two and eight, and five and nine, that often lead to mistyping. This episode is a veritable treasure trove, unearthing the mysteries of human personality. So buckle up and join us on this thrilling journey of discovery!

Beyond Your Number
06/21/23 • 25 min
Recently, I found myself in a painful situation - breaking a finger. This unexpected event led Kelly and me to a deeper exploration of human emotions and the impact of self-care on our overall well-being. During this episode, we reflect on the fact that an average person experiences around 400 feelings a day, and how identifying and naming feelings improves our emotional health.
As we dive into the complexities of family roles and self-awareness, we investigate how both nature and nurture play a part in our development. We discuss the intriguing dynamics within families, such as the pressure on heroes to maintain high performance, the role of scapegoats as truth-tellers, and the coping mechanisms of lost children who disengage from conflict. By understanding our Enneagram types, we learn to recognize the roles we play in our families, schools, and lives, leading to greater self-awareness and personal growth.
