What We Miss When We Overfocus - By Enneagram Type
Show Notes

Enneagram type is frequently described as a lens through which we see the world. This lens often causes us to overfocus on certain things and completely miss other things! What if we could shift our focus to see what we’re missing?

This episode was inspired by my own thoughts around what I tend to overfocus on and what that causes me to miss, and as I reflected on this idea, I realized that I’d experience more balance, fulfillment, and freedom if I could shift my perspective.

So what about you? What do you tend to overfocus on? What does that cause you to miss? What would be different if you shifted your focus?


Key Takeaways:

  • The Enneagram as a camera lens rather than colored glasses
  • What we overfocus on by type
