What's up, babe?! Welcome back to the Boldly Courageous podcast! Today, we're talking all about the Enneagram — one of the most powerful personality tools for understanding yourself and others. here are so many things you can use the Enneagram for, especially from a leadership perspective. Communication is literally at the core of everything we do as networker marketers, entrepreneurs, and coaches. As business leaders, we can utilize the tool of the Enneagram to speak the languages that our ideal clients and team can understand! I have an Enneagram expert here today to teach us why the Enneagram is so important, and how we can start using it in our daily lives. She's literally one of my favorite people: Tracy O'Malley.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Who Is Tracy O'Malley?
Tracy O'Malley is a business coach, speaker, Enneagram expert, and self-made millionaire determined to help you excel in your life unapologetically and with grace! Using the Enneagram, she teaches people to integrate their type effectively into business, sales, and leadership to maximize profits, culture strength, productivity, and passion!
As the Queen of Tough Love (with a whole lotta love), Tracy has facilitated soul breakthroughs and sustainable change in thousands of lives worldwide.
Her own transformation began with she checked herself into rehab. For almost 40 years of her life, Tracy had lived as a victim. Terrible relationships and soul-sucking jobs led her to an alcohol addiction. In her relationships, she struggled with codependency and outbursts of anger. One day, she decided that she wasn't going to live life this way anymore.
When Tracy was in rehab, her therapist introduced her the Enneagram, and it changed her life. After she understood the core motive behind all of her actions — to be in control of her life and protect herself from harm — everything made sense.
Through her journey of self-realization and recovery, Tracy is no longer a victim but a leader who helps others understand their personality through the Enneagram so that they too can be empowered in who they are! I am so excited for Tracy to share her wisdom with you, so let's dive in!
