Enneagram Insights on Coaching & Therapy with Chris 'Suds' Southard | Ep 31

The Driven Athlete

Have you ever wondered what's at the heart of your motivations, or how to unlock the potential of each unique individual you encounter? Join us as we engage with Chris 'Suds' Southard, whose mastery in guiding both lacrosse players and spiritual seekers sheds light on these questions. Together, we dissect the Enneagram personality system and its profound effects on understanding ourselves and others. Suds reveals the transformative power of psychology in coaching and physical therapy, emphasizing the tailored care and communication needed to cater to each personality type.
Embark on a journey into the core of Enneagram types with us, where fears and desires are the compasses that navigate our behavior. Witness how exploring these internal landscapes can help us confront suppressed suffering and lead to substantial personal growth. Through stories and reflections, we delve into the true self's battle to emerge from beneath the masks we often wear, unearthing insights that can dramatically reshape the way we lead and relate to others. Suds and I peel back the layers of personality archetypes, discussing their application from the playing field to the Winnie the Pooh characters, injecting a dash of whimsy into the philosophical depths of our dialogue.
Closing the conversation, we emphasize that enlightenment comes not just from understanding these insights but from implementing them. I share strategies for integrating self-awareness practices into daily life, aligning coaching approaches with team culture, and maintaining balance to prevent burnout. Suds and I agree: to shepherd others effectively, one must first shepherd oneself, using tools like the Enneagram to enhance relationships and lead a more harmonious life. Tune in to discover how you can apply these ideas for your growth and success, both on the field and off.
