How would you define good communication?


Communication & The Enneagram

[FIRSTNAME GOES HERE], one of the many powerful aspects of the Enneagram for understanding ourselves and each other is its ability to delineate what communication means and looks like for each of the Types. For instance, Ones perceive good communication as being correct, while Fours value authenticity in their communication. And while some may view the Enneagram solely as a tool for personal growth, its impact extends deeply into team dynamics as well.

For example, I recently curated a Team session for a business partnership with a Type 2 (good communication is just being in communication) and Type 3 (good communication is quick and efficient), focusing on their unique Team dynamics. It was insightful for them to observe that despite both belonging to the Heart Triad and sharing a Wing, their perspectives on meaningful communication were very different. By the end of the session, they left with a deeper understanding of each other and actionable steps to improve their communication.

One partner later shared, "It was enlightening and helpful in a deep way for better communication. We are already doing better check-ins. Thank you Linda for your, compassion, kindness, and understanding as we tread in waters of being uncomfortable and back! I felt better understood.

Have you been feeling like your communication could be better but aren't quite sure where to begin? Personal Enneagram Coaching is designed to help you grasp your personality type and unique communication style with actionable steps for your personal learning.

January 2025 Illuminate Reader. Two massive topics to tackle in one series—Eve and wisdom. What was I thinking? I’m already realizing eight sessions are NOT going to cut it. When we studied Genesis last year, I planned for 12 sessions and ended up with 15. Now, before we’ve even started Women of Wisdom, I can already tell—eight sessions won’t be enough. After digging into the material these past few weeks, we clearly need more time to give these two topics the attention they deserve. So, it...

January 2025 9 Lumens Reader if you’re anything like me and want to know right away, “What’s this email about?”— (I see you 3s, 7s, and 8s) It’s about Tyler Zach’s EnneaSummit at no cost! The focus is on Spiritual Formation, and I’m sharing this because I KNOW it will be SO GOOD. How do I know? Because the lineup features so many of the resources I already use with my clients (like Marilyn Vancil), people I’ve learned from personally (like Pastor Adam Breckenridge, and he’s giving away a free...

Illuminating Scripture for Women to beEncouraged, Equipped, and Engaged Reader I haven’t sent an email to the whole Illuminate community in a long time! The last email was in June letting the group know I’d be ghosting communication to focus on our son’s wedding. It was a lovely, perfect Portland, Oregon, August wedding day. The ceremony was beautiful (as was the bride), and the reception turned into a super fun party—which is exactly what they wanted: to celebrate WELL! So, here’s our family...
