185. The Type 6 and Type 8 Leadership-Team Dynamic
This weekend, we’re diving into one of the most common (and possibly the most fascinating) team-leadership dynamics we see in team training sessions: the relationship between Type 6 (Striving to Feel Secure) and Type 8 (Striving to Feel Powerful). It shows up again and again: Type 8s in leadership roles who are focused on getting things done, moving fast, and protecting their teams... and Type 6s (often the largest group on the team) asking for more clarity, more information, and more certain...

183. Getting off Track at Work as a Type 9 [Derailer Series]
Derailers (the things that can get us off track) can be some of the most challenging aspects of our personality patterns to confront. For Type 9s, growth often begins with the realization that peace doesn’t mean disappearing. True harmony includes your voice, your priorities, and your presence. Nines are the calm in the storm — steady, supportive, and easy to be around. But that same go-with-the-flow energy can become a derailer when it leads to avoiding conflict, deferring decisions, or mini...

182. Getting off Track at Work as a Type 8 [Derailer Series]
For Type 8s, growth often begins with recognizing that strength doesn’t always mean control. It takes a different kind of strength to soften, to be vulnerable, and to trust others without having to test them first. Eights are natural leaders — bold, decisive, and unafraid to take charge. But when that powerful energy is driven by a need to protect or dominate, it can unintentionally shut others down, create conflict, or block the very connection they crave. These derailers represent common ch...

180. Getting off Track at Work as a Type 7 [Derailer Series]
Derailers (the things that can get us off track) can be some of the most challenging aspects of our personality patterns to confront. For Type 7s, growth often starts with the willingness to stay — to stay with the hard thing, the boring thing, or the uncomfortable emotion, rather than jumping to the next exciting idea or distraction. Sevens are known for their energy, optimism, and visionary thinking. They bring lightness to heavy moments and possibility to stuck places. But when that drive ...

179. Getting off Track at Work as a Type 4 [Derailer Series]
Derailers (the things that can get us off track) can be some of the most challenging aspects of our personality patterns to confront. For Type 4s, growth often starts with the realization that your depth, creativity, and emotional insight — the very qualities that make you so uniquely powerful — can also become obstacles when left unchecked. It’s not always about changing who you are, but rather noticing how your patterns show up at work. Do you find yourself withdrawing when you feel misunde...
