Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez

Abbi Rodriguezwww.abbirodriguez.com

Hey Enneagram Friend! I’m Abbi - an IEA Accredited Enneagram Teacher & Narrative Enneagram Practitioner. I teach Enneagram workshops with corporate and non-profit teams, and I also facilitate executive coaching as part of that professional development experience.


In this season of Enneagram Coaching with Abbi, I share live coaching episodes where we explore the dynamics of our Enneagram Type within the context of our work environment. For those in the workforce, we spend the bulk of our work week interacting with various personalities from our supervisor to co-workers to the clients & customers we serve. Sometimes those interactions with others are incredibly life-giving, but we can also find ourselves discouraged & exhausted by the personality dynamics in our workplace. In a recent article in Psychology Today, it was reported that over 50% of employees quit because of a bad manager, which creates a drain on resources due to employee turnover. A lack of self-awareness and emotional intelligence within the workplace has a direct impact on staff retention and the organizations ability to thrive in their industry. 


Not only will you benefit in an increased self-awareness from understanding your own Enneagram Type, but having more in-depth knowledge about all the nine Types fosters emotional intelligence & can dramatically improve your working experience with others. In a recent Forbes article, about 80% of millennial respondents indicated that emotional intelligence is something they actively focus on as they develop their careers. My intention is that this podcast, along with the corporate Enneagram workshops I teach, will be a resource in your personal and professional growth. 


The first episode in this fourth season of Enneagram Coaching with Abbi Rodriguez releases on March 13th, so follow along and subscribe for free wherever you listen to podcasts. In the meantime, reach out to me on my website at www.abbirodriguez.com to schedule a free consultation call to explore how a knowledge of the Enneagram will benefit your organization through team Enneagram Workshops and executive coaching.

Teaching | Self-Care by Type

In this teaching episode, I share with you some practical tips for incorporating self-care into your everyday rhythms so that you can move out of a place of just surviving each day. The concept of self-care is more and more common in our day and age, but often we are just pandering to our Enneagram Type and not our authentic self. When we think about self-care, we might have a list of self-soothing or comforting activities, but I want to explore with you how we might intentionally care for our h...
