    Understanding Your Enneagram Core Desire: What’s Really Driving Your Patterns? | Ten Minutes to Transformation

    Why do you keep repeating the same patterns... even when you know you want to change? In this episode of Ten Minutes to Transformation, we’re going one step deeper than simply noticing our patterns. We’re exploring the Enneagram core desires that motivate each of us and the automatic strategies we use to get what we want and need. Your core desire isn’t the problem. But sometimes the strategies you use to pursue it can create the very patterns you’re trying to change. As a quiet leader, understanding what’s underneath your behavior can help you move from simply knowing your Enneagram type to making meaningful, lasting change. In this episode, you’ll discover: What your Enneagram core desire is and why it mattersHow your core desire can influence your everyday patternsThe difference between a healthy desire and an automatic strategyFour questions to help you uncover what’s really driving your behaviorOne small shift you can practice this weekYour transformation practice: Identify your core desire, notice where it shows up, and get curious about whether the strategies you're using are actually working. Download the Ten Minutes to Transformation worksheet in the show notes and add to it throughout this 10-week series. And finally, be sure you join in with me and the Wholehearted Online Enneagram Summit, September 9-11.

    Why Do I Keep Doing What I Want to Change? | Self-Awareness, Patterns & the Enneagram

    Have you ever found yourself asking, “Why do I keep doing the very thing I want to change?” You know the pattern. You may even be frustrated by it. Maybe you've promised yourself you’ll respond differently, stop overthinking, speak up more, set better boundaries, or break a habit—yet somehow, you find yourself doing the same thing again. In this first episode of the series, we’re talking about why self-awareness is often the first step toward real and lasting change. Sometimes the problem isn't that we aren't trying hard enough. Sometimes we simply haven't yet understood what is happening beneath the surface. In this episode, we'll explore: Why automatic patterns can be so difficult to changeThe difference between noticing your behavior and understanding what's driving itHow self-awareness can help you make different choicesWhy curiosity and compassion are more helpful than shameHow the Enneagram can help you better understand your motivations, reactions, and patternsI'll also share a personal example of how becoming aware of one of my own automatic responses has helped me begin to respond differently. If you're tired of asking, “Why can't I just change this?”, this episode is an invitation to pause and ask a different question: What pattern am I noticing, and what might be happening underneath the surface? Because once we can see the pattern, we can begin to understand it. And as we understand it, we have the opportunity to make different choices. 🎧 In this episode, you'll also hear about the upcoming Annual Wholehearted Enneagram Summit, where I'll be joining other speakers to explore how the Enneagram can help us better understand ourselves, our relationships, and our faith. And be sure to download the companion worksheet for this series and begin exploring your own patterns.

    Quiet Strength: How to Lead Authentically Without Becoming Someone You're Not

    You don't have to become a different kind of leader to lead well. You can lead from who you are. What if you don't need to become louder, more forceful, or more outgoing to become a stronger leader? In this final episode of Quiet Strength: The Power of Heart Postures, Jilann brings together everything we've explored over 16 weeks and four heart postures: the steady heart, soft heart, courageous heart, and open heart. For quiet leaders, leadership can sometimes feel like a constant invitation to become someone else. Speak up more. Be more assertive. Take up more space. Be more confident. But authentic leadership doesn't require you to abandon who you are. It invites you to become a healthier, more grounded version of yourself. In this episode, you'll discover how these four heart postures can help you: Ground yourself when you feel overwhelmed or reactiveStay soft without losing healthy boundariesPractice courage when fear or self-doubt keeps you stuckRemain open to feedback, curiosity, and continued growthRecognize where the Enneagram can help you understand your natural patternsLead from your strengths rather than trying to imitate someone else's leadership styleJilann also reflects on the deeper message woven throughout this entire series: quiet strength isn't about becoming a different kind of leader. It's about learning to lead more fully from who you already are. If you've ever wondered whether your quiet, thoughtful, reflective way of leading is enough, this episode is an invitation to see your quietness differently... and to recognize the strength that's already there.

    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.

    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.
