Coaching Type Four

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore talk about coaching Enneagram Type Four. Even though it’s not a common type in Mario's and MJ’s line of work, they discuss how they would approach coaching by addressing their blind spots and accelerators as Creek shares personal insight as a Type Four.

“Yeah, I think that this is not self-interest. It’s identity. It’s like whatever I take in must say something about me, so what is this saying about me?” -María José [14:23]

“The Fours who do really well are the ones who are able to continue to grow into their ability to recognize what really matters and what really doesn’t.” -Mario [22:57]

“Another thing to never say to a Four is can’t things just be ordinary and mundane? Yes, of course they can, but it’s like, but it’s not. To me, ordinary and mundane is just the things we haven't spent time thinking about.” -Creek [29:09]
