How many of us have taken a personality, behavior or workstyle assessment and crossed our fingers it would finally tell us something different than all the other tests? Well, my hand is up, and I share that in common with this week's guest Dr. Sasha Shillcut. Sasha is the Vice Chair of Strategy and Innovation, Department of Anesthesiology, University of Nebraska Medical Center; Founder, Brave Enough, a community to empower women.

Sasha is a trained Enneagram facilitator and uses it to help empower the women she coaches to know themselves better and empower them to find what motivates others they interact with personally and professionally.

We discuss the lightbulb moment Sasha had with Enneagram about embracing her core motivation to control their own life. But, it can be confused with others thinking it means she wants to control everything. Funny enough, Sasha and I are both Enneagram 8s and share this motivation. She discusses how difficult it is as a woman to embrace having a strong personality paired with a passion for challenging the status quo.

Listen in as we dive into what you can take away from knowing your Enneagram.
