Enneagram in Real Life

Welcome back to Enneagram IRL, the weekly podcast where we go beyond Enneagram theory and dive into practical understanding, new clarity, and fresh insight. We’re talking about how each type is in REAL LIFE so you can remember – you’re more than just a number. This week’s episode of Enneagram IRL is a little special because I'm the one being interviewed! Truity Labs (@truitylabs) is an online personality assessment platform, and they have a variety of assessments, including the Enneagram. A few months ago, I was interviewed by Samantha Mackay, who creates training programs and content for Truity Labs! Fun Fact: Samantha and I met in the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy. In this interview, Samantha and I discussed some of the upsides and downsides of using the Enneagram with teams, my approach to leadership and organizational communication as a practitioner, and more. So thank you so much to Samantha and Truity for interviewing me!Watch the entirety of this episode on Truity Labs' YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDVI9WML1AwFollow Truity Labs on Instagram @truitylabsOr find them online at https://www.truity.com/Here are our key takeaways? Professional journey of using the Enneagram with teamsPractical ways to use the Enneagram with teams & common challengesWhy organization development matters within teamsDiscussing the importance of self-leadership Resources mentioned in this episode:Nine Types Co.

Enneagram type is frequently described as a lens through which we see the world. This lens often causes us to overfocus on certain things and completely miss other things! What if we could shift our focus to see what we’re missing?This episode was inspired by my own thoughts around what I tend to overfocus on and what that causes me to miss, and as I reflected on this idea, I realized that I’d experience more balance, fulfillment, and freedom if I could shift my perspective.So what about you? What do you tend to overfocus on? What does that cause you to miss? What would be different if you shifted your focus?Key Takeaways:The Enneagram as a camera lens rather than colored glassesWhat we overfocus on by typeEnneagram Resources for YouWant to keep the conversation going?

Welcome back to Enneagram IRL, the weekly podcast where we go beyond Enneagram theory and dive into practical understanding, new clarity, and fresh insight. We’re talking about how each type is in REAL LIFE so you can remember – you’re more than just a number. On this week’s episode of Enneagram IRL, we meet with Camille Logan, a licensed clinical mental health clinician who co-owns a private practice called the KC Collective in Raleigh, North Carolina. She enjoys working with adolescents, college students, and adults on a range of issues, but primarily around helping people untangle limiting beliefs, undo unhelpful patterns, and heal from hurtful experiences to help build a healthier narrative that makes room for healing, connection, and personal freedom. We discuss how Camille integrates the Enneagram in professional settings as a therapist who acknowledges the Enneagram as a tool of self-discovery, assertiveness, social justice, and the value of connection and vulnerability. We get a clarifying look into the fascinating depths of an Enneagram type Seven.  Follow Camille on Instagram: @Camille.Logan.lcmhc & @EnneagramfortheCultureResources mentioned in this episode:Enneagram for the Culture PodcastFor the full show notes, timestamps, & resources CLICK HEREWe are here for all the little “a-ha!” moments along the way because when you hear your thoughts coming out of someone else’s brain, everything just clicks.
