Enneagram at Work

There’s a grouping in the Enneagram that describes how the types handle problems and conflict. It's called the Harmonic Triad, but more importantly it can be a game-changer for how you understand how you and those around you deal with challenges differently.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn about which group your type is in, and how to apply that knowledge to your business, specifically for creating compelling messaging for your services and products!

Which group did you resonate the most with as far as how you tend to handle challenges and problems? Connect with me over on Instagram or Linkedin and let me know! I always love hearing from you.

Have you ever thought about what successful business owners do each day? What do they focus on? How do they know exactly what they're going to be working on, not only for the day, but for that week, month and even next quarter? How are they able to generate money AND take time off?  How can they ensure that all the effort they're putting into creating content, setting up their website, putting together offers, and networking inside of Facebook Group is actually worth it?

Enneagram Type 3w4 and Systems Educator, Courtney Lazar walks you through all that and more inside this episode packed with tangible tips you can take and implement right after you listen. 

Who would have thought systems and productivity would be fun and so inspiring (Ok, maybe you Type 1s, 3s and 5s :))? As someone who identifies as a type 7 and has historically loathed the idea of systems and viewed structure as limiting and the killer of creativity, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Courtney has completely changed the way I think about it all.

In episode 6, she shares reasons why systems are so important in your business that go beyond just needing to be organized. She lays out a very compelling case for taking the time to get clear on your mission statement and evaluate where you're spending your time now to understand if the two are aligned. For many of us, probably not so aligned. But that's, okay! Courtney shares how to start building your business in a way that's more aligned with your company and life vision and specific systems to start creating so that you're less overwhelmed and overworked and more inspired and able to do the work that lights you up. Listen in to learn more about how she uses her Type 3w4 energy to take her students from coach to CEO!

Welcome to the first episode of the Enneagram MBA podcast!

I'm so glad you're here and I'm excited to be on this journey with you, gaining insight about yourself and others that you can then use to create and do work that fits with your unique personality and values, not work that you have to force yourself to fit into.  

In following episodes, you'll hear from topic specific guest experts -  ranging from sales and marketing topics to money mindset to living a successful life outside of work, Enneagram type panels, and other business owners and company leaders sharing what life is like living as their specific type.  

The intention is that you'll hear from others that you can resonate with and feel seen and validated, (confirming you aren't crazy after all!), while also learning about others who might see the world very different than you, so that you can have a better understanding of both yourself and of the people in your life - clients, your team, your social media communities, family, friends and romantic partners.  

You can expect to hear about 5 main themes when you tune in each week, each intended to help you gain insights, skills and resources in better understating: 

• Your Personality - who are you? what are your strengths? what reoccurring roadblocks need to be acknowledged and worked through?
• Your Purpose - how to find it, how to use it
• Your People - who are you passionate about serving? who is on your team? how to have happier and healthier relationships?
• Your Products - what  are you selling, how are you selling it, what do customers need to know
• Your Platform - where are you connecting with your idea people and sharing your message and services

To help spread the word about this message and podcast, I'm going to ask you a favor...to listen to a full episode and leave a review. 

I know you are busy with your own work and life, so as a thank you for taking the time and effort to do this, I'm going to send you: 

1. your type specific reference guide: 25-30 pages all about your dominant type to learn from and reference back to as needed 
2. a ticket to the live training or the recording of Your CEO Style by Enneagram Type
