Episode description

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore talk about coaching Enneagram Type Eight. With Mario being a Type Eight himself, he provides personal insight on how this type strives to feel powerful, which makes them tough, strong willed and assertive, which can make them resist feedback. Rather than share more of what they coach to an Eight, they discuss how to speak to an Eight to gain the most results.
