Episode #20: Lead with the Mind: The Power & Pitfalls of the Head Center
Every entrepreneur makes decisions through the lens of thought, strategy, and anticipation but how you relate to uncertainty determines whether your mind becomes a powerful ally or a source of paralysis.
In the third and final part of the three-part series Risk, Decisions & Action: How Your Enneagram Center Drives Your Business Moves, Margot explores the Head (Thinking) Center of the Enneagram—Types 5, 6, and 7. Discover how fear, foresight, and mental agility shape risk-taking, decision-making, and action, and learn to transform overthinking into confident leadership.
If you’ve ever delayed a launch until you felt more prepared, second-guessed a decision until it felt safer, or jumped to a new idea to avoid uncertainty, this episode will help you turn your mental patterns into a stabilizing force for your business.
