Description

What does it mean to be a quiet leader, and how does the Enneagram help us understand that role more deeply?

In this episode of Strength in Numbers, I’m setting the stage for our new series: Quiet Leaders & the Enneagram. Over the next nine weeks, we’ll explore how each Enneagram type expresses quiet leadership: the strengths, the blind spots, and the growth opportunities.

You’ll hear why quiet leaders are often underestimated but powerfully influential, and how the Enneagram can give you the language and courage to step into your leadership with confidence.

Whether you’re leading a team, a family, a classroom, or a community, this series will help you see your unique impact more clearly.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why quiet leadership matters more than ever

  • How the Enneagram helps uncover your influence

  • What you can expect in the upcoming type-by-type episodes

  • A simple journal prompt to reflect on your own quiet leadership

Because leadership doesn’t always look like the loudest voice in the room. Sometimes it looks like steady presence, deep listening, and authentic influence.

And don’t forget—there’s strength in numbers!

This week's journaling prompt: As you think about your own leadership, where do you see your quiet influence showing up most clearly? And where do you notice yourself holding back? How might the Enneagram give you language or courage to step into leadership in a way that feels true to who you are?
