Let's do this thing.

Hey. Hey. Welcome back to another episode of the Leadership Formula podcast. And this is kind of the intro to a series that I have been working on for quite some time. One of the biggest questions I get asked about is the people that you love, the people that you lead, trying to figure out who it is that's in front of you without using the name Enneagram or even, you know, self typing people or asking people to take one of these Enneagram online assessments that are inaccurate anyway, right? So the series that is starting next week is what it's like to be an enneagram. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. And each week we're going to focus on one number. At the front end of the week, I will be sharing the details about each type and what it might feel like if you are that, or if you know one, if you love one, if you lead one, if you meet one, and what to do with that or really get into the heart, the mind, the soul of these types. You know, the Enneagram is a beautiful tool, a beautiful communication tool when used properly. And I have said this over and over and over, and I will continue to say it, the intent behind using the Enneagram must be from a loving, beautiful, intentional place. Right? It is not to manipulate, it is not to label. It is not to put anybody in a box. It is not to make excuses for why we are the way we are. I've had several of you message me this beautiful, hilarious comedian that was talking about the Enneagram and how, you know, when used out of integrity, this is, this is not okay. But any tools that we use, if we don't use them, property or the correct way, they can do some damage. So I know if you're listening that you are approaching the use of the Enneagram with the utmost respect, the utmost integrity, and for the greatest good, for not Just yourself, but for humanity and anybody that you should come in contact with on your journey. So the front end of the week. So on Tuesdays, we will be dropping episodes each week. So we have, you know, quite a few weeks ahead of us. This will take us through the first part of fall week number one. We'll start with the Enneagram one. And we'll do a short and sweet episode, the informational. And then on the Thursday of each week, I will be interviewing somebody that is that type, especially somebody that I know very, very well. And the challenges they have faced, the gifts that they bring to the world. And we're going to get into the nitty gritty about all the things and what it's like to be each Enneagram type. This will give you a lot of insight. First of all, on yourself, right? I think that so often there are parts of us, especially the parts that aren't our favorite parts about ourselves we keep secret. Or we wear it on our sleeves in shame. Right? Or we're in the dark hole of shame. None of that serves any of our good or the good or the beauty or the things that we're supposed to bring to the world. I promise you. I know that many of you, your number one goal in life is to make an impact. Impact. And when we're making impact, our income does go up. It really, really does. When we feel like we're in our zone of what we are here to do, you know, and that's going to change for many of you along the way. I'm on, I think, my fourth career, honestly, but I had to do all of them to lead me right here. And I think that this awareness and compassion for yourself will lead you better into that. And once you kind of get into that zone, having new awarenesses about those that are in your life will allow you to maybe not go down. This part where you're triggered, where you get off track because you have resentment. Resentment will rob you of everything beautiful. And this is why I love the Enneagram as well. It keeps me out of resentment. Do I still feel anger? You betcha. Do I still feel sadness and not enoughness sometimes? Absolutely. Because we're human beings, you know, we're human beings. And all of this is to be used as a compass to kind of get us right back on track to our soul blueprint and our soul roadmap. And when we have the right tools to keep us out of that for too long, we can be of service to other people in a way that serves not just them, but also us in leading them. And so my hopes with this series is that you open your mind up, first of all, for your Enneagram type, that you look at all parts of you, even the challenging parts of whatever enneagram type you are, with compassion and love, but also look at everybody else with a different kind of lenses. I was on a call this morning with two of my very, very good friends. And I mean, I teach this stuff, I teach this stu. They pay me really well, very, very well to teach this stuff. And I'm so grateful that I get to. And as I continue to evolve and grow, there's more layers to me as well. And, you know, the parts about me that are a bit challenging, not just for myself, but for anybody that has come into my life or left my life. I understand it. The very thing that makes me amazing is also the very thing that can be very challenging in interpersonal relationships and especially the relationship closest to me. And, you know, having this framework and meeting it with compassion, even though it hurts and it's not fun, not convenient, feels lonely at times, I know that I am moving through that. And I have a GPS kind of system that really keeps me in check with love, compassion, empathy, grace and service. And that is my goal over the next nine weeks with each and every one of you, is that you have insight and love for yourself and honor, especially honor for who you are and what you're here to do, to have compassion for the parts of you that get tripped up from time to time. And when you can look at yourself that way, you will inevitably have the ability and capacity and willingness to start to look at everyone with different lenses. And when that happens, they will feel seen, heard, understood, and even valued, even when they drive you crazy for who they are and when we are operating from that place. Magic. Magic happens in the world and in your heart and in your body and in your bank account and all the things. So I really wanted to give you a heads up for what's coming. If you want to know more about certain types, please send me a DM or an email at info Tracyomalley.com if you want to dive deep into your Enneagram type. Through the end of 2022, I will still be offering Enneagram kickstart sessions where we make sure you are typed properly and also what to do with that information. And I am working on something very, very special this next month. And oh my goodness, I am so excited to be able to help more of you on a grander scale have the right information and have the roadmap for your soul so that you can kind of stop beating yourself up and stop feeling stuck and stop sabotaging and all the things that maybe drive you crazy. Just step into who you are with passion, with pride, and with a whole lot of fun attached to it. So I'm excited to bring the next nine weeks of what it's like to be each Enneagram type and give you more insight on what that might look like for those you love, for those you lead, and for yourself. If you want to dive a little deeper into your self and how this applies in your life. We are very customized for you in this Kickstart session. It's the most powerful 90 minutes you probably might have ever had. I've heard from many, many people it's better than 10 years of therapy and I am definitely somebody who believes in therapy.
