In a new interview in the “Anti Guru’s Corner” of the space, Pedro Espadas, professor and Enneagram expert, offers us an exciting conversation with Roberto Whyte, an entrepreneur who also specializes in the Enneagram. Together, they reveal how strong the influence of the Enneagram can be in our lives and personal development.
Pedro Espadas is known for his authentic and passionate approach to the Enneagram, and in this interview he reflects on his own journey, from his dreams in a small remote village to his experiences in the big capital. He describes how understanding the Enneagram has helped him overcome his fears and discover parts of himself that would otherwise have remained hidden.
What is the Enneagram for?
On the other hand, Roberto Whyte delves into how the Enneagram can be a powerful tool for understanding reality. He explains that correctly identifying personality types on the Enneagram can help us discover our deepest motivations and navigate the complexities of our personal and work relationships.
One of the most striking moments of the interview is when Pedro acknowledges how painful it was not to pursue his desires and dreams. In this sense, he began to understand that his fears and comparisons were limiting him. He learned to gradually step out of his comfort zone thanks to the Enneagram and to face his problems with more courage.
Roberto mentions that the Enneagram invites us to cross the doors of the unknown, not only when it is strictly necessary, but throughout our lives as a continuous growth experience. This gradual approach helps us to feel safe in all situations and to become emotionally stronger.
During the interview, they also discuss the topic of authenticity, as in today’s social and superficial world, it is easy to get distracted and lose authenticity. Peter says that the only way to not lose oneself is to use the enneagram, as it is a constant guide to remember why we are here in the first place.
This interview is a call to all those interested in self-discovery to learn about the Enneagram and begin their own journey with this tool. It will not only help to better understand oneself, but will also provide a map to navigate through emotions and relationships in life.
