The Enneagram Basics for Each Enneagram Number

Resources

Doesn’t it sound wonderful to serve and live from your strengths instead of worrying about your weaknesses?

I thought so too. Which is one of the many reasons I was drawn to the Enneagram.

Uncovering all the layers of your Enneagram number can equip you with a list of superpowers that make you uniquely YOU.

But, how do you know which number is yours?

Want to learn more about the Enneagram, which number you most relate to, and how you can use your number to feel better and more confident in everything you do? Join me for an Enneagram Life Coaching session!

During a one-hour Enneagram Life Coaching session, we’ll focus on discovering your Enneagram type and start to peel back the layers of who you are, what you’re motivated by, and how your fears may be leading your life.

We’ll go through the wings on both sides of your core number and uncover which one you are more likely living through. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We’ll break down your stress arrows and learn how you navigate life while in good health (mentally and emotionally).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We’ll also learn about one of my favorite sections to talk about…. the Triads/Instinctive Centers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Lastly, we’ll discuss how you process information and help you understand more clearly where your main decision making stems from and why.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

After the session, you’ll receive an email from me with a summary of what we learned and helpful tips to continue growing in your new knowledge about yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sessions can be done in-person if you’re local to Scottsdale, otherwise, they’re via video chat! Book yours here: https://alicialarkeylifecoach.pixifi.com/booking/lifecoach/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
