S2 Ep29: Enneagram 101 -- Why It's Your Leadership Superpower
Most personality tools tell you what you do. The Enneagram tells you why — and that's where real leadership work begins. If you've heard the word thrown around but never quite understood what makes it different, or if you've taken the assessment and wondered what to actually do with your results, this episode is your foundation. This is the most-downloaded episode in The Work of You catalog, and it's back for good reason: August is going all-in on the Enneagram, and this is your on-ramp. Jen breaks down what the Enneagram actually is — a nine-point map of core motivation, not behavior — and why that distinction changes everything. She walks through the iceberg model, the three centers of intelligence, and the role of instincts in shaping how your type shows up in the world. Whether you're brand new to the Enneagram or have been sitting with your results without knowing what to do next, this episode gives you the framework to make the information mean something.
