Enneagram Twos are our first type and they are warm people who love to shepherd their audience along.  They lean into the connection with the audience.  The challenge for the Two is balancing the warm, caring with details and facts.  Twos act on emotion and adding facts to their talks will enable them to reach more.

Enneagram Threes are motivational speakers at heart and are excellent at reading the room.  They know when to lift the room up and when to bring it down a notch.  The Threes don’t find it easy to share failures and can focus only on their successes — which makes it difficult for an audience to connect. 

Enneagram Fours are our romantics — and where the Threes tend to gloss over failure, the Fours will share all their failures.  The Fours show us how to handle disappointment and tragedy.  The challenge for the Fours is to move out of the failure and into the next phase.

That’s our Heart Triad — next week is our final part to the series, the Head triad.  Join me and Jenn as we talk about types 5,6 and 7.
