    Stop Assuming, Start Getting Curious | A Better Way to Lead as a Quiet Leader

    What if the story you're telling yourself isn't the whole story? Quiet leaders often spend a lot of time thinking, processing, and trying to understand what's happening around them. But sometimes that thoughtful processing can turn into assumptions... about what someone meant, why they didn't respond, what they're thinking, or what a situation says about us. In this episode of Strength in Numbers, Jilann continues the Quiet Strength: The Power of Heart Postures series by exploring the power of choosing curiosity over assumption. You'll discover how an open heart allows us to pause, ask better questions, and stay open to perspectives we may not have considered. Using the Enneagram's Hornevian Stances - Dutiful, Assertive, and Withdrawn - Jilann explores the different ways we may naturally respond when we're uncertain or trying to make sense of other people. You'll learn how your natural stance can influence the assumptions you make and how curiosity can help you communicate more clearly and lead with greater openness. In this episode, you'll discover: Why we so easily fill in the blanks when we don't have all the informationHow assumptions can affect leadership and relationshipsHow the Enneagram's three Stances influence the way we process uncertaintyWhy quiet leaders can sometimes process internally instead of communicating outwardlyHow to replace assumptions with curiosity and better questionsThree simple questions to help you pause before creating a story about someone elseIf you've ever replayed a conversation, wondered what someone really meant, or realized you may have made assumptions without having all the information, this episode offers a practical way to stay open, communicate more clearly, and lead with greater confidence.

    When Defensiveness Closes Your Heart | How Quiet Leaders Receive Feedback and Keep Growing

    Why do we become defensive when we receive feedback... even when we genuinely want to grow? In this episode of Strength in Numbers, Jilann continues the Quiet Strength: The Power of Heart Postures series by exploring one of the biggest obstacles to an open heart: defensiveness. Whether feedback comes from a trusted friend, a difficult conversation, or an unexpected life circumstance, our first instinct is often to protect ourselves instead of remaining curious. As the podcast celebrates four years, Jilann reflects on one of the biggest lessons she's learned: growth doesn't happen because we have all the answers. It happens because we're willing to keep learning. Drawing on the Enneagram's Centers of Intelligence, you'll discover how different personality types naturally respond when they feel challenged and how greater self-awareness can help you receive feedback with humility instead of fear. Why defensiveness is a natural response; and how it can quietly limit your growthHow the Enneagram reveals different defensive patternsWhy feedback is information, not your identityPractical ways to respond with curiosity instead of self-protectionHow an open, teachable heart strengthens your leadership and relationshipsReflection questions to help you grow through feedback rather than resist itIf you're a quiet leader who wants to lead with wisdom, humility, and confidence, this episode will encourage you to embrace growth, even when it's uncomfortable. Join our next Quiet Strength Gathering!

    The Power of an Open Heart | Why Teachable Leaders Keep Growing

    What does it really mean to have an open heart? Many of us think an open heart simply means being kind or emotionally vulnerable. But what if it's actually about something deeper? What if an open heart is a teachable heart... one that's willing to stay curious, listen well, and continue growing throughout every season of life? In this episode of Strength in Numbers, Jilann begins the final month of the Quiet Strength: The Power of Heart Postures series by exploring how curiosity and humility shape healthy leadership. Through practical insights and the Enneagram's Harmony (Harmonic) Triads, you'll discover how your natural response to challenges can either keep your heart open to growth or slowly close it off. If you've ever found yourself assuming you already know the answer, becoming set in your ways, or struggling to remain open to new perspectives, this episode offers a gentle invitation to lead with curiosity instead of certainty. What an open heart really is, and what it isn'tWhy curiosity is one of the greatest strengths of a quiet leaderHow the Enneagram's Harmony Triads influence the way you respond to life's challengesHow humility and teachability strengthen your leadership and relationshipsReflection questions to help you remain open to growth in everyday lifeWhy staying curious creates trust, deeper connection, and lasting personal growthYou'll also hear about the Quiet Strength Gathering, a monthly online community where quiet leaders connect, reflect, and encourage one another as they continue growing together.

    Caring Without Carrying It All: Protecting Your Soft Heart as a Quiet Leader

    What if the reason you're exhausted isn't because you care too much but.... because you're carrying too much? In this final episode of The Power of a Soft Heart series, we explore a challenge many quiet leaders face: the tendency to take responsibility for things that were never ours to carry.

In this episode, you'll learn: The important difference between caring and carryingWhy compassionate people are especially vulnerable to emotional overloadHow the Enneagram's stance triads (Dutiful, Assertive, and Withdrawn) carry burdens differentlyHow to recognize responsibilities that don't actually belong to youWhy healthy boundaries help protect a soft heartHow quiet leaders can care deeply without becoming exhaustedIf you've ever felt responsible for fixing everyone's problems, managing everyone's emotions, or carrying the weight of outcomes you can't control, this episode offers a gentle invitation to set down what was never yours to hold. ✨ Plus, sign up here for the Quiet Strength Gathering, a monthly community for thoughtful leaders who want to grow in self-awareness, connection, and authentic leadership. 🎙 Strength in Numbers is a podcast for quiet leaders seeking personal growth, Enneagram wisdom, emotional health, and practical leadership tools to lead with confidence, compassion, and authenticity.
