T’s Guide to Aligning Your Enneagram with Your Career Path.
Have you ever felt like you’re not where you’re supposed to be in life yet?
The fear of making the wrong choices can be overwhelming.
I know that feeling all too well.
While optimism about what the future holds seems like the obvious choice, every decision we make impacts our lives. Not having a clear direction can make this feeling worse. However, having insight into the career that would fit our personality traits can make it easier to handle. So, you may ask, how can we know? Well, I use the Enneagram to indicate that.
The Enneagram is a personality framework that can help us understand our core motivations, fears, and strengths. It can be useful in finding a career path that aligns with our unique personality. The Enneagram doesn’t give a strict set of rules, but it can give us insights into potential career paths that match our natural talents and abilities. I will go through the nine Enneagram types and see which career paths may resonate with each type.
