Next week, I'm very excited to tell you I sat down and talked to Beatrice Chestnut, one of the biggest names in the Enneagram world.
NadineHOST
And the reason I do the work that I do...
NadineHOST
I shared with Bea that when I was first introduced to the Enneagram, I thought I didn't want to be put in a box.

Welcome to the Art of Growth and a very special episode with the fabulous, the wonderful, the amazing Beatrice Chestnut, who is doing some really interesting work that we're going to chat about a little bit and catch up from the first conversation we had now nearly seven years ago.

Before we get into that, the hub of all our work is at theartofgrowth.org. That's the place to find our Enneagram or Instincts assessments.
Jim ZartmanHOST
Look at having us work with your organization, reach out for coaching or the best dang Enneagram certification around.
Jim ZartmanHOST
And if you subscribe to the newsletter there, we will keep you up to date.
Jim ZartmanHOST

But we had a conversation with you back in 2019, it has now been.
Beatrice ChestnutGUEST
And what we really need is to wake up and that the Enneagram is really about more than anything else, helping people wake up to who they really are and manifest all of their potential.

Joel HubbardHOST
And man, you really brought it.
Joel HubbardHOST
Lots of great, great stuff here for our listening audience.
Joel HubbardHOST
So Beatrice Chestnut, thank you so very much for your gracious and generous offering here to us.
JoGUEST
But also, yeah, there's real beauty about both wings and a real balance, I think, to both.
DaveHOST
Yeah, I mean, Beatrice Chestnut talks about the fact that we shouldn't say that we're so-and-so with a wing.
DaveHOST
So we should have balanced wings.
DaveHOST
But that's where your growth is once you've kind of got those balanced wings, which is really interesting because most people will say what they are and then say what their wing is.
