132: A chat about enneagrams with Ellie McKinney
Friends, meet my new friend Ellie McKinney, in addition to being a fantastic wedding photographer, she’s also a coach for photographers and an enneagram enthusiast!
Full disclosure, I don’t know much about enneagrams and to be honest, I’m even a bit skeptical, but I know this is something that a lot of creatives are interested in, so in this episode, we are exploring this topic.
If you are like me and you are wondering what an enneagram is, here is the definition:
“The Enneagram is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people interpret the world and manage their emotions. The Enneagram describes nine personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-pointed diagram which helps to illustrate how the types relate to one another.”
So in today’s chat, Ellie shares her opinion (important to clarify this, as she even acknowledges that she’s an enthusiast, not a certified expert) as to why knowing your enneagram number is good for your business, and how you can use it as a tool to better your brand.
