You know that feeling when you’re trying on clothes in a store change-room with far too many mirrors?
When Dr Pam Roux, my friend and colleague who co-wrote a book on systemic healing with me, kept saying things like, “Oh, that’s because she’s a type 4… he’s an 8, that explains it… I think he’s a 3 or maybe a 7.” Even though I love and respect Pam, It took effort not to roll my eyes.
I’d be thinking, “Surely there are not 9 types of people… you can’t just go around labelling that way… I’m not interested in yet another personality system.”
Boy, was I missing out!
So when I had a dream where Pam was telling me that I was a 9 on the Enneagram I called her the next day to tell her.
“Col, that’s a very 9 way to find out you’re a 9,” she laughed. And now I was very curious.
With time to kill in a bookstore, I opened Helen Palmer’s book “The Enneagram” to Type 9 and read in horror.
You know that feeling of standing in your nickers in a store change room, the lights are too bright, and there are far too many mirrors? That’s how I felt reading about, well… not just 9’s I was reading about me.
Things that I thought were ALL exclusively Colleenness turned out to be very 9ness.
My ego was bruised and defensive, but I bought the book and was HOOKED. The Enneagram fast became one of the most helpful, empowering tools I have ever bumped into.
But here’s the thing, had I not discovered my type in a dream, I would have faced the wall of confusion most face when trying to work out which of the 9 is theirs.
I grew concerned as my knowledge grew (I devoured courses and books like a hungry person) and took the big tests.
- #1 The tests (even the best ones) were hit and miss and mistyped many people. I was typed as 2, an 8 and 3.
- #2 Learning the Enneagram was like untying a knotted ball of string; it was complex and frustrating.
Because the Enneagram gave me SO many gifts:
- Critical to my work as a coach and mentor.
- Pushing me to step up to my growth path (type 3).
- Showing me inner obstacles and blind spots to heal.
- Giving me different ways to parent my daughters (types 6,7, and 8).
I worked on decluttering the Enneagram so that I could help people really “get” their type far quicker and with greater depth.
For example, I removed the typical type labels replacing them with ennea-toons and infographics. I saw the triads as more than more keywords to learn, but as the deeper WHY behind each type, so I formulated the popular 3 Pearls process.
And perhaps most importantly, I created a reliable 8 Step Typing Method to coach the 9 types and help others to discover their types without needing tests.
- My InnerLifeSkills Enneagram 3 Pearls, 9 Polarities, 3 Maps for Growth and 8 Step Typing Method are now used worldwide in homes and boardrooms, coaching sessions and fun conversations.
May my story inspire your freedom.
Let’s help you discover your Enneagram Type
WITHOUT UNRELIABLE TESTS OR MEMORIZING CONFUSING LISTS
Did you know that tests neglect an entire sub-type called counterphobic 6? Every class, my team and I run a few people who have been typed as 8 and feel relief to find their true type CP6. Let’s empower you with a real understanding of ALL 9 types.
Let’s use the Enneagram as a powerful map for growth
THE ENNEAGRAM IS NOT AN EXCUSE—WHEN USED WELL, IT’S A POTENT MAP FOR GROWTH
Our InnerLifeSkills unique way of working with the Enneagram focuses on going beyond typing. When taught well, the Enneagram reveals a MAP for growth that we can use to remove our blindspots and claim our enlightened, empowered wholeness.
This Enneagram 101 course includes my 3 MAPS for growth, INTUITION, WHOLNESS and PURPOSE.
