Tracy O’Malley’s superpower: The ability to talk to anyone How she cultivated the ability to talk to anyone The nuts and bolts of learning to talk to someone How to determine your Enneagram type Adapting your energy to the person you’re with Adapting how you communicate with your children What it’s like to be able to talk to anyone Use the Enneagram personality test as a starting point

 

Tracy could always read people, even as a little girl. She saw things that other people didn’t. Looking back, she sees it as an intuitive gift. For most of her life, she used that skill to protect herself and manipulate others. Now, her intuitive abilities come from a genuine and authentic place of love and compassion—not protection and guardedness. Those are the skills she uses today to help change the world and help others step into who they are.

 

But how do you get to that place? Tracy had to learn to realize the motive behind how she was communicating with others. The Enneagram helped her put together a framework to understand who she was. It helped her understand that “Everything that I do, everything that I say, every way that I communicate is coming from a place of ‘Tracy doesn’t want to be backed into a corner, be vulnerable, or rely on anybody.’” You have to understand that and have compassion for yourself.

 

Tracy was originally hesitant to take the Enneagram test. She didn’t want yet another label. Now, Tracy is vocal about how important the test is and believes it’s one of the greatest tools you could ever use in personal development. It can help you get out of the box the world has put you in. It can open your eyes to things that haven’t made sense to you.

Do you want your message to be received?

 

You don’t want people to adapt to you because they’re afraid of you. That doesn’t build a connection—it builds fear and divisiveness. If you’re choosing to be a leader in your home, business, or the world, you must be willing to adapt first. There IS a way to be effective. You can adjust your tone, the words you use, your posture, and body language.

 

Tracy realized that if her kids—or whomever she was interacting with—weren’t receiving the message she wanted to convey that it was on her to change. If they can’t receive your energy you must choose to adjust if you want your message of love to be received. Tracy shares some deep and insightful stories of how she learned to communicate and connect with her kids in a meaningful way. So, keep listening!

Awareness is the key to transformation

 

Making deep and meaningful changes is going to require some radical honesty with yourself. You can’t pick what looks good on paper. The enneagram is a roadmap that helps you decide where to go. If you have the wrong coordinates and wrong compass, you’ll be going the wrong direction the whole time. It’s only effective if you are honest with yourself.

 

Each Enneagram type has its own superpower. You can’t operate on the superpowers that you aren’t. Own who you are, look at the whole package and have compassion for yourself. You must remember that developing self-awareness is the key to all transformation. The Enneagram test is simply a tool that helps you become more self-aware—but it can be life changing.

 

Tracy used to thrive being in-control. As a child and even as an adult she never felt seen, heard, or understood. The ability to see that in others is giving them a gift, whether or not they see it. She can see past their shields. It is her greatest superpower, without question. Because it’s coming from a place of love and compassion for humankind. If you’re ready to find your superpower, listen to this episode of My Extra Mile!
