Welcome to the 7th episode of Reach Minds – Thoughts for Your Life Journey podcast.

Today, we will explore how the Enneagram balances the intelligence of the head, heart, and body, and how to use them together effectively. We’ll discuss how the Enneagram can be a transformative experience, not just by knowing your type, but by using the process to choose tools that bring you more choices. Interestingly, while the Enneagram is rooted in modern psychology, its origins trace back to the Classical world and ancient Egypt.

Today, I am joined by Robert Hutchinson, a personal and professional development coach specialising in Enneagram-based self-awareness training.

In this podcast, we pose the following questions about the Enneagram:

• How did you get interested in the Enneagram?
• How do you integrate this work into your practice? Can you give a couple of examples?
• Can you tell me more about the centres of intelligence and what working with the Enneagram can reveal about them?
• Can we explore the Enneagram’s links to the Classical world and their significance?
• What can the Enneagram do for a person?
• What tips and resources would you offer?

Robert facilitates transformational leadership development that is both effective and sustainable. He helps clients decode their personality ‘operating system’ through a unique combination of world-class coaching and powerful self-discovery training. He is also the Co-Founder of The Gay Happiness Project, a popular mental wellbeing program for gay men.

In addition to his coaching work, Robert is researching the origins of the Enneagram in ancient Egypt. He has presented at conferences in Egypt and Europe and has written articles on the use of the Enneagram.
