In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore talk about coaching Enneagram Type Seven. With this type “Striving to Feel Excited,” they can be the most challenging client to coach as they tend to avoid unpleasantness, which includes looking for gaps and places for growth. The hosts share why it’s easier to work on a vision with a Type Seven rather than address derailers or gaps and other ways they coach them. This episode was recorded during their annual retreat in Orlando, Florida, so they also answer questions from the audience throughout this conversation.“That can be the challenge with the Seven is corralling them in and finding what’s the real issue that they need to work on, that they want to work on. But again, if they’re in a serious place about doing the work, just like any other type, they can make tremendous progress.” -Mario [03:54]“If you work with them on what’s missing, they will tend to avoid it more than when you work with them on a vision of where they want to get to. And when you’re doing that, working on their derailers or their gaps, it’s much easier.” -María José [06:52]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[01:32] Coaching Type Seven[06:15] Common issues[11:17] Feeling trapped[18:03] Sevens in leadership[21:24] Build in options along a plan[27:01] Practice savoring[34:22] Why Sevens are often mistyped[38:22] An existential trap[46:14] Final words[48:57] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore talk about coaching Enneagram Type Five. This type—“Striving to Feel Detached”—tends to manage interactions with people strategically and proactively by building a wall as a way to defend themselves. They are also known to say what they think which can be difficult for people to read if they're not used to it. Mario and MJ discuss their approach in addressing this type’s challenges and blind spots, such as not saying what’s on their mind, and why they enjoy helping them articulate how they see things without overdoing it.“What does mark them is this need to engage with the world through a feeling of detachment, which sounds contradictory, but they’re trying to create their way of coping with the world. Their way of interacting is through creating an emotional or an emotion-free buffer between themselves and the world, so they can step back and kind of protect themselves.” -Mario [13:11]“They want to know more so that they can understand things and not feel overwhelmed. It’s like feeling overwhelmed, it’s something they want to avoid. And they’re very sensitive. So when you think that they’re not feeling, it’s usually that it’s a way to defend themselves, because they’re so sensitive that they need to build a wall.” -María José [21:45]“I will admit that the Five is a bit of a blind spot for me, still trying to find the edges of it, and so like for that, for instance, how do you determine what’s transmitting and what’s that just the Five found their area of expertise and they’re going. How do you turn those dials? ‘Cause mistyping between Five and Seven happens a lot.” -Creek [29:39]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:21] This week’s adjective[07:55] Experience in coaching Fives[12:03] Striving to Feel Detached[18:33] The coping mechanism is to detached[23:28] Attachment theory[27:25] Common problems[32:44] Pulling the wings off of a fly[35:20] Other issues[39:27] Defining detachment[42:06] Get your hands dirty metaphorically[48:13] Typical assignment to a Five[55:20] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore talk about coaching Enneagram Type Four. Even though it’s not a common type in Mario's and MJ’s line of work, they discuss how they would approach coaching by addressing their blind spots and accelerators as Creek shares personal insight as a Type Four.“Yeah, I think that this is not self-interest. It’s identity. It’s like whatever I take in must say something about me, so what is this saying about me?” -María José [14:23]“The Fours who do really well are the ones who are able to continue to grow into their ability to recognize what really matters and what really doesn’t.” -Mario [22:57]“Another thing to never say to a Four is can’t things just be ordinary and mundane? Yes, of course they can, but it’s like, but it’s not. To me, ordinary and mundane is just the things we haven't spent time thinking about.” -Creek [29:09]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:18] Don’t coach a lot of Fours[06:14] Understanding their blind spot[12:56] Defining the Four’s self-absorption[17:24] What’s the appropriate investment?[25:09] Stop being like every other Four[34:49] A skewed view of the world[39:40] Breaking news to Fours[43:13] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora and Seth “Creek” Creekmore have a philosophical etymological conversation about three terms–descriptive, predictive and prescriptive–and how they can be misconstrued when it comes to the Enneagram of Personality.“I also think that the Enneagram works better in the context of a set of other tools. I think that the Enneagram should always be a piece of a toolkit and not the toolkit itself.” -Mario [19:14] “But to me, the specific prescription is very personal depending on the person and the issue at hand. If someone is experiencing pain, there's a direction of travel that the doctor will go down to address that. To me, that’s the extent of the Enneagram’s prescription of like, here’s where to look, but beyond the where to look and some potential specifics, it’s mostly just personal. It’s everything external to the Enneagram.” -Creek [21:08]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:53] A descriptive model[09:40] A predictive model[16:34] A prescriptive model[21:46] Pair it down than fill it up[28:19] An A chord[33:12] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore return to their series on coaching the Enneagram types by talking about Type Three. Mario and MJ explain how this type of Striving to Feel Outstanding is often misunderstood so it’s important to understand the instinctual bias as each subtype requires different coaching needs. However, they also share why this type provides some of their biggest success stories in their work with the corporate world. “I also think that the Threes are often misunderstood, misrepresented, misdescribed in a lot of the Enneagram literature.” -Mario [04:27]“And I’ve seen when it starts to become too hard and too obvious that they’re struggling, they’ll ditch.” -Creek [13:26]“I think that for them, it’s just so fundamental to have goals and to kind of make the effort to get there. And it almost defines them. I think that with the others, we can all have goals, but they’re not that important to us or they don’t define us as they do for Threes.” -María José [15:07]TIMESTAMPS[00:02] Intro[01:32] Feedback on Coaching Type Two[03:16] A lot of misunderstandings about Type Threes[08:41] Fundamentals of Threes[14:32] Setting goals to know who they are[17:14] Common things to work on with Type Threes[23:21] Think about the subtypes[28:50] Potential mistypings[34:17] How to build trust[35:45] Type Three Accelerator: Purpose[39:18] Ways to incentivize Threes[46:04] Mario’s final words[47:03] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora and Seth “Creek” Creekmore present this bonus episode of Fathoms, an Enneagram podcast Creek co-hosts with Seth Abram and Lindsey Marks. Lee Fields joins as Lindsey discusses the realization that she was mistyped as a Type Two. This conversation highlights that identifying an Enneagram type is a lot harder than people think, so mistyping can happen. Initially thinking she was a Type Two, Lindsey shares why she thought she fit into this type and how learning that she's in fact a Type Seven has helped her grow as a person.Connect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional OptimismLee Fields:Web: enneagrammatic.comIG: @enneagrammaticLindsey Marks:IG: @lindseyfaithdmFB: Marks Music StudioPod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastSeth Abram:IG: @integratedenneagramMusic: sethabram.bandcamp.comPod: Fathoms | An Enneagram Podcast
