5. Using the Enneagram to relate to others
When dealing with others, especially in pressured situations or
when conflict arises, ask yourself
the following questions:
1. What expectations am I placing on the other person as a
result of my own Enneagram type?
2. Where would I place the other person on the Enneagram?
What core values does this type have?
3. How can I appeal to those values and ‘speak their language’?
Questions
• Has there ever been a time when someone has made life easier
for you by speaking the language of your type and appealing to
your core values rather than theirs?
• Have you ever succeeded in doing this for someone else? How?
