Enneagram 8s are motivated by a need to be strong and in control. They are take charge, decisive, aggressive, power-oriented, and magnetic. Self-sufficient autonomy is essential to an 8, and they have their own way of influencing others, including within large and powerful organizations.

Those are their superpowers, but when they are in an unhealthy space or acting in their ego, those same superpowers can be like a wrecking ball on the life of an Enneagram 8.

So, how can Enneagram 8s overcome their fear of being vulnerable to realize the connection and intimacy they so desperately crave in their relationships?

Today, on The Leadership Formula, we're diving into everything Enneagram 8. I'll share some triggers Enneagram 8s face that can cause their self-protection defense mechanism to kick in and the blind spots they have that can leave others feeling unprepared, underappreciated, or unprotected.

Listen in as I share how Enneagram 8s can use their wings to connect with people and experience the nuances of life without judgment or jaded expectations for more playfulness and fun.

Plus, I'll share which type is the least expressive and the most armed of the three Eight subtypes and which is the most intense and charismatic.
