Have you heard of the enneagram? What wisdom does the enneagram hold for you? Can you unveil and give voice to aspects of yourself that you did not know how to articulate before? In part 1 of this 5 part mini-series, Billy and Brandy Eldridge talk to Jackie Coban about all things enneagram! Meet Jackie Coban Jackie is a triple-certified coach in Life Coaching, Enneagram Coaching, and Neurolinguistic Programming. She is the founder of Table For 9 Coaching and the host of the Table for 9 podcast. She is a quick-witted, passionate, fire-cracker woman whose personal philosophy is that it IS possible to see people win in life, love, and work. Jackie is a coach who works with various individuals and groups to help them embrace who they are and what they bring to the table, no pun intended. She is well-balanced in where she has worked: law offices, anti-sex trafficking movements, the non-profit sector, human resources, finance, and the like. She had one thing in common in all places: the pull to “make it work” for everyone. After leading 5+ teams simultaneously at a non-profit organization, she realized what everyone brought to the table was truly different and equally valuable, and she wanted other people to see it, too.

In This Podcast Summary * What is the enneagram? * Enneagram history What is the enneagram It is like a personality typing system. What I really like about it is it’s a road map to your essence, to this virtue inside of you. There’s a person at your core that your experience has not manipulated yet, the pain, the joy, the experiences of your life, there’s a person deep under there who is beautiful and flawless and pure and divine. What the enneagram does is says ‘here are the things that you are, here are the things you can be held back by, here are the lenses you need to work on to get to that divinity inside of you. (Jackie Coban) It boils people down to 9 main personality types and branches out from there. It discusses your core fears, your desires, your childhood wounds, the way you hear things from other people. It is essentially a road map to understanding yourself. Enneagram history It comes from pre-colonized South America. It is deeply rooted in culture and has been passed down through oral tradition over thousands of years. Since the enneagram has undergone a resurgence in recent years, it is sometimes warped to fit a new modern model and some people mistreat the wisdom behind the enneagram, however, at its core, the wisdom remains as potent as always. A piece of wisdom to remember when it comes to the enneagram; the personality type that hurts your feelings the most may be the one that belongs to you.
