THE POWER OF THE ENNEAGRAM 

​Yesterday I had a session with one of my matric career-coaching clients, which was a few weeks after we had done her Enneagram test feedback. And I was stunned. Her whole energy was lighter and brighter, she was more self assured and she greeted me with a big smile. 

And the change wasn’t only on the outside. When I last saw her, she was feeling isolated and different at school, and felt she couldn’t trust people, so she never revealed her true self. She couldn’t see her gifts and as a result she couldn’t see her future. 

But finding out her Enneagram type had allowed her to see herself for who she really is – for better and for worse – but much more than that, she now saw that there is no set way for the way things are. She had found a method that could change her life and putting it into practice had been so much more accessible than she had thought possible.

Her newly found self-awareness allowed her to change her mindset, which had changed the way she saw herself and the world around her. It allowed her to be more open minded, had shifted her attention from focusing on herself to focusing on others, and had made her aware that her overthinking had caused her to make assumptions about others that weren’t true. But, mostly, she had realised that she had the power to make real change. 

And once she started making small changes, people started responding differently to her. They actively sought her out and wanted to be her friend. She now has a whole friend group, is actually going to her matric dance and her group is planning to go away after matric exams. Making these changes has made her seek more change and got her moving in her life. 

And now, the task of finding a career path for herself is no longer daunting and out of focus. The power that emotional intelligence and self-knowledge has given her has helped to open up her life and her future path. 

I have an EQ-focused career-coaching programme for teens that can help them to not only find a career that resonates with their core drives and motivation, but gives them the gift of self awareness so they can make better decisions and choices in their lives. 

Bye for now,

Have a good week, Love Vanessa
