Grow With Soul Ep. 31: Using Enneagram For Self-Awareness With Jessica Uys
Today I’m talking with Jessica Uys, a personal growth coach who uses enneagram to help people release old habits and live an uncompromised life. If, like me, you may have seen people mention their enneagram type online, but not really known exactly what they’re talking about. I think that, especially when you’re starting and running your own business that any self-awareness you can gain will have a huge impact on you and your work, so I wanted to get Jessica on to talk about this form of self-awareness and how we can all use it.
HERE IS WHAT WE TALK ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE
Jessica's business journey and how she got into Enneagram
What is Enneagram and its history
The outward benefits
Personal Development
Finding your Type
How to use your Type to change your patterns
Reflecting and observing your Type day to day
How it works within work scenarios
The impact it has on your daily life
Stereotyping
Miss-typing and digesting your Type
Checking intentions and listening to your body

Online test
Integrative Enneagram is the one I have personally chosen to work with given their typing accuracy and detailed reports.
If you decide to choose one of the tests that provide you with a list of your “top types”, that’s usually an invitation for further exploring, so use as a starting point rather than a definitive result. Be aware that many of the free ones available can result in mistyping so use them cautiously!
