Merry Christmas! As you're unwrapping presents and celebrating this week, there's one last gift just for you... This replay episode of the podcast is a special one with a story and a song. As a Type 3 on the Enneagram, I connect with the 3-6-9 Harmony Triad. I also have a very strong Type 4 wing which invites me to be creative and original. From a very young age, I've loved to write music. As I've come to embrace the Enneagram as a tool for harmony and transformation, I learned how songwriting really invites me to be present in all three centers of intelligence as it engages: The body movement of writing the song The intellect of the words and lyrics coming together The expression of the heart This Christmas, I wanted to give you a FULL CIRCLE gift–one that's transparent, vulnerable, and straight from my heart to yours. May your Christmas be full of extraordinary moments! REALIFE Resources:If you’re ready to discover what matters to you, download our FREE Intro to REALIFE Needs and Values Assessment.

How can you identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to make decisions about what to do next? Our entire team joined me for this episode that we recorded together on our recent REALIFE Process® Team Retreat! Using the S.W.O.T. Analysis, we share some of our team’s discoveries as we answered these questions: What are your strengths that set you apart? What are your weaknesses? Where do you need to improve? What opportunities are open to you? What are your threats or competition? What are the factors outside of your control? Taking time to name what you do well and where you can improve can help you identify the projects you want to focus on next. I hope that hearing our team’s answers to these questions will help you as you process your own S.W.O.T. analysis, whether as an individual business owner or with your team.
