Jenn Fortner is a mega Enneagram- enthusiast. She's spent a lot of time watering her lawn listening to Enneagram podcasts, has digested many books on the subject, and loves all the nuanced information about the Enneagram most don't take the time to read or learn about. Like, did you know, there are ACTUALLY TWENTY-SEVEN types, not just nine? And did you know a "wing" isn't just the number you lean toward, its more a shield for your personality? We didn't know these things either, until we heard Jenn give this talk during our Spring 2020 Gathering. SO. MUCH. INFO. (Thanks, Jenn).

In this talk given during our Spring 2020 Gathering, Katie Day discusses her WHY on the Enneagram and where it has taken her both personally and in her relationships. Yes, as the title suggests, she does talk about how it can be alienating to some, but if used with caution and as a lens to view others in a deeper and more meaningful way, it is a great tool for growth and acceptance. Katie is a person we'd listen to all day long if we could, and you can! She's got her own podcast called Shailey and Katie's Lemonade Stand -https://shaileyandkatie.simplecast.com/ .

In this episode we hit part 2 of 4 on the Enneagram by taking a deeper dive, and a more personal one. Michelle and Jenn discuss what its like being 4s, Kate discusses her 5-ness, and we all talk about how its impacted our relationships and knowledge of ourselves. (Note -- If you're starting here-- check out our previous podcast, part 1, and then move forward. Also-- we know the audio is rather shotty on this one. Apologies! We had some mic malfunctions but didn't want to re-record the whole thing!)

Here at the Bravery Board, we love the Enneagram. Its helped us a lot in the past year learn about ourselves and our loved ones. We also understand how the popularity of the Enneagram may be a bit daunting or even off-putting to some. In this episode, we discuss all things Enneagram (well maybe not ALL things since we have a part two of this discussion)-- including what it is, how we learned about it, and how knowing our numbers have impacted us. Below are some links to websites, podcasts, and books about the Enneagram that we discussed in the episode. if you would like to brush up on your knowledge or haven’t learned what your number is yet, read on!

In this talk given at our October 2019 Gathering, Michelle dives into the topic of Teamwork. Instead of just relying on her own experience with teams, she decided to do some research, and in that process found a rather surprising answer to the question, "what makes teams work?" It wasn't leadership. It wasn't the size of the goal. It wasn't communication... So what was it? Something she never expected, and you'll have to listen to find out.
