Emotional Intelligence and the Process of Change for Types 4, 5, and 6

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth "Creek" Creekmore continue their conversation about the process of change by talking about types Four, Five and Six. They discuss how each is framed in Mario’s book, “Awareness to Action: The Enneagram, Emotional Intelligence, and Change” and the emotional intelligence that is required for each of those to engage in the ATA process.

“I like to think of what happens for each of the types, for all of us, is that we break down on our fault lines.” -Mario [16:12]

“Like everyone else, they can be really good people and be trying hard to do what’s needed. Sometimes don’t know or miss some cues, mainly emotional, I would say.” -María José [31:18]

“I’ve seen Sixes striving to feel secure, but through constantly changing. They are adapting to every minute, little detail and change.” -Creek [38:15]
