It was 2022 and I was so frustrated. Half of my colleagues had left after the post-Covid job influx and I felt stuck with people whom I could not get along with. I’d tried everything – the soft approach, the hard approach, the bribe-with-food approach (usually works with me, but alas, these people were hard to crack!)
I needed new tools to interact and communicate with them.
That’s when I was reintroduced to the enneagram and coaching. I discovered a blueprint of HOW people were different from me and what made them tick. With my coach, I uncovered more ways to interact with them that still felt genuine and ‘me’.
Fast forward to today: Some of the most challenging relationships are now the people I look forward to talking to the most. Each day, I make a choice to see the world from their lens and how this influences their behaviour. Understanding their positive intentions gives me a breathe of empathy, freeing me from my frustrations and gifting flexibility in my interpretations.
What if you could have this freedom too?
