Crystal's Notes 29 Mar

Have you ever stopped to wonder what really drives your decisions?

Do you decide based on your head, with its logic, analysis, planning, and fear of failure?
Or is it with your heart, with its dreams, emotions, imagery, and a deep desire to be loved or understood?
Or do you decide based on your gut, with instinct, action, and anger?

The Enneagram is a fascinating personality system that has helped me so much in both work and life. It goes beyond surface behaviours to uncover your core motivations, which are the unconscious drivers behind your decisions, habits, and even your blind spots.

There are 9 personality types, and each has a unique path to growth and success. Each type is also driven by a specific inner drive. The Enneagram doesn’t just describe you, it gives you a roadmap for how to level up.

Many people take free Enneagram tests online and end up mistyping themselves. This is not because the test is wrong, but because we often lack the self-awareness to recognise our deeper motivations, and it’s easy to confuse surface-level behaviours with internal drives.

For example, A and B might both seem like extroverted people-pleasers who love the good life. But A may be doing it to project success (Type 3 – The Achiever), while B may be chasing freedom and stimulation (Type 7 – The Enthusiast).

That’s why learning directly from an expert is so powerful. I couldn’t be more excited to bring one of my favourite Enneagram teachers, Jutka Freiman, from Sydney to Singapore to lead us in a very special retreat. She brings clarity, wisdom, and over 20 years of psychotherapeutic and Enneagram experience to help you truly understand yourself and others on a deeper level.

Whether you’re leading teams, managing change, or trying to understand yourself and others better, leadership starts from the inside out. When you know your own patterns and can spot the patterns in others, you show up with greater clarity, confidence, and presence.

The retreat will be cozy, intimate, and highly interactive, with no more than 20+ participants. This ensures plenty of space for sharing, reflection, and questions. If you're ready to stop guessing who you are, and start really understanding your patterns, this is the workshop for you.

Much love
