The Enneagram | Part 3 | Beyond my Type, Learning to “Borrow” in order to Grow
Audience: Anyone who has completed or re-watched Part 1 & 2
Prerequisite: Completion of Part 1 and 2 or basic Enneagram knowledge
Duration: 3 hours
Overview:
Now we know our type and understand others a little better, what now?
If we only act from our type, it is like walking on a tight rope with our arms tied behind our backs, we will
inevitably fall. As such, we naturally lean on other behaviours to help keep us upright, in Enneagram
terms, that is (usually) leaning to our wings and/or lines connected to us. However, if we don’t lean (or
borrow) intentionally, we can overdo it and carry their burden too (trust me, the burden of one type is
more than enough). Learning to borrow from other types allows us the freedom to choose how we respond
with the knowledge of other types without losing ourselves in the process.
Key Topics:
● Learning about wings (we have both within us)
● Accessing the lines connected to us (we go to both in good and not good)
● How to “borrow” without losing yourself
● Choosing to wear a mask rather than it wearing you.
● Connecting learnings from part 1 & 2
● Further exploration of the symbol of the Enneagram and its wisdom
Takeaways:
● Confidence using the Enneagram to enhance client insight and therapeutic alliance
● A deeper appreciation of the human experience through nine lenses
● Tools to tailor interventions and support long-term change
