RELATIONSHIPS & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Most of our success in life is about relationships at work and at home.
And the two impact each other.

RELATIONSHIPS & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Our relationship with others is a reflection of our relationship with ourselves.

Use the Enneagram personality system to understand yourself and the others in your life. Peel back the layers of the onion to uncover the roots of underlying motives.

See the gifts in our dark that we need to harness constructively to move into our light. Our dark gives us fuel for needed change.

Our challenges are but two sides of the same coin with our gifts. For example, the challenge of doubting oneself is also the gift of open-mindedness or loyalty. The challenge of stubbornness is also the gift of determination – sometimes amazing determination. One trait fuels both sides. We never get rid of our challenges completely – and after all, would you want to wish your gifts away? But there is a way to grow the gifts into their full potential and minimize the challenges.

Our humanity lies in being perfectly imperfect. Without suffering, there can be no growth in empathy or wisdom. Without having the gifts dispersed among us, we would not need each other – there would be no push towards the joys of connection. There would be no push towards interdependence and the amazing creative potential in synergizing.

Lean into the ripple effect. We cannot change others, but we can change ourselves and the ripple effect will create a more positive Universe for you. Life tends to mirror back to us what we put out. The more we come to love and accept ourselves, the more others will accept and be supportive of us.

Instead of having time and energy sapped by conflict, discover how you can embrace the challenging opportunity conflicts in relationships provide, to grow enlightened, savvier, stronger and softer. Feel supported rather than drained. Communicate constructively with insights and tools, so that setting limits does not have to be scary. Boundaries prevent resentment building up and free you up to be more loving. Understand where you need to respect boundaries. Constructively administered boundaries are the way to have hope of deep, secure connections. Using firmness and kindness, you will grow into your power with grace.
