In this episode of The Doubtless Podcast, host Julian chats with Chad about the Enneagram—a powerful tool for understanding personality. Julian dives deep into the topic with Chad, an Enneagram expert, exploring how it helps reduce doubt and increase self-awareness. They discuss the nine Enneagram types, centers of intelligence (body, heart, and head), and how this ancient system can foster personal growth and calmness. Tune in and learn how to embrace your true self and grow beyond the limitations of your personality type.
After receiving his Masters of Divinity three years out of college, Chad went on to get an M.A. in Literature, and a Ph.D. in Creative Writing. Since then, Chad has worked as a solopreneur in publishing, a freelance writer for various trades, and as a reporter, analyst, and broadcast specialist for a logistics startup. Chad has come out the other side as an Executive Coach. Chad's latest book is an investigation and practical application into the Enneagram called, Shock Point: The Enneagram in Burnout and Stress. He is a certified professional Enneagram practitioner with the Chestnut-Paes Enneagram Academy, as well as a trainer and teacher from Jerome Wagner’s Enneagram Spectrum Certification program. Chad has completed the Newfield Network coaching certification program.
