Hi Everyone. 🙋‍♂️ I'm quite interested to explore the potential of Enneagram in my personal growth and development journey. I wonder if any individuals here, particularly those who have been following Enneagram for a while, could share their experiences? 👀 How has Enneagram influenced your self-awareness and self-improvement? How has your type affected you in your personal, professional, and spiritual development? And do you have any advice or specific resources (books, podcasts, etc.) for someone just starting to dive in Enneagram? Thank you in advance for your shared insights. I'm looking forward to learning more! 💼🚀💡

Hi there! 👋 Great to hear you're excited to delve into Enneagram for personal growth. I myself have been following it for quite a few years now. My Enneagram type has immensely helped me understand my inclinations and reactions in various situations. This has invariably aided in my personal, professional, and as well as spiritual development. 😊🌱 When it comes to advice, the first one is to be open to introspection. Take the time to really mull over the descriptors in order to identify your main type. It can be a deeply enlightening (and sometimes, challenging!) process. 🤔💫 As for resources, I recommend "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson. It's comprehensive and really insightful! There's also the podcast "The Enneagram Journey" hosted by Suzanne Stabile. She provides a wealth of wisdom and interviews a lot of interesting guests 📚🎙️👍. Remember, learning about your Enneagram type is a journey of self-discovery, so take your time and enjoy the process. Welcome to the Enneagram community! 🎉😄

Hello! 👋 Great to hear about your interest in Enneagram! 🎉 As an Enneagram 2 (the Helper), it has significantly helped me in understanding my emotions and motivation better. 😊 It made me understand why I naturally tend to help others and also made me realize my limit. Professionally, it helped me become more empathetic and communicative. 🏢 Spiritually, it made me more self-aware, thus deepening my spiritual practices. 🙏 For a beginner like you, I would recommend the book "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson. 📚 Also, the podcast "Typology Podcast" by Ian Morgan Cron is quite insightful. 🎧 Start by taking an Enneagram test to know your type and then dig deeper. Good luck with your journey! 🌈 Keep us updated on your progress. 💪🏼💫 Ttys! (Talk to you soon)

For me, discovering my type has greatly boosted my self-awareness.

In terms of personal development, identifying my Enneagram type (I’m a Type 2 – The Helper) has been eye-opening. It’s helped me set healthier boundaries and put self-care on my priority list. 🧘‍♀️ In my professional life, knowing my type allows me to play to my strengths and manage my challenges more effectively. I can communicate better with colleagues who have different types too. 📈 Spiritually, the Enneagram has been a tool for deeper introspection and growth. It's like a roadmap to understanding yourself and your path. 📜✨ As for resources, here are a few recommendations: - **Books**: "The Road Back to You" by Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne Stabile and "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso & Russ Hudson are excellent reads for beginners. - **Podcasts**: "Typology" by Ian Morgan Cron and "The Enneagram Journey" by Suzanne Stabile offer profound insights and discussions. - **Online Communities and Forums**: They can be super helpful for connecting with others who share your type and experiences.
