Enneagram typing can get pretty “heady” and intellectual. Stop trying to type yourself or others based on traits or buzzwords or lifeless type descriptions. Learn to intuitively recognize the “vibe” that each Enneagram type gives.

Oftentimes you’ll read about the Enneagram types as a list of traits and behaviors, but what does it feel like to interact with each of the types? 

In this captivating episode with the “Enneagram Observers,” Elliot and Brett will take you on a journey filled with humorous and insightful stories, using clever similes to capture the unique “vibe” of each Enneagram type. 

Their goal is to bridge the gap between theory and experience, bringing the Enneagram out of the book and into your everyday life.

Throughout this episode you’ll learn to recognize the Enneagram types intuitively, allowing you to build positive connections with the people you meet built upon a deeper understanding of them. You’ll also learn how to recognize unhealthy versions of the types, and develop strategies for dealing with challenges that may arise.
