Synopsis

How to Identify Someone’s Personality and Build Better Relationships Quickly, even if Your Social Skills Could Use Some Work…

It may be the central irony of our technologically advanced, connected digital age that many people report not feeling sufficiently connected, in the traditional sense, with other people.

Why would you even want to leave the house?

  • Tinder finds you a perfect romantic match.
  • Skype connects you with your friends around the globe.
  • And Instagram shares your friends“ vacation experiences.

Connection, or bonding based on a meaningful, shared affinity or experience, is key for developing vital relationships with others and ourselves.

The value of solid relationships can’t be overestimated. Strong relationships mean meaning, community, and influence. They meet our deepest needs and support us through thick and thin.

According to researchers from the University of California, we are suffering from an epidemic of loneliness. Their studies found that 3 out of 4 Americans feel lonely.

Could you use more real-life relationships? Could you stand to strengthen the ones you already have?

What gets in the way of this desire?

Full disclosure: relationships aren’t easy (at first). And they can be frustrating when you first start trying to cultivate them.

The good news? These skills can be learned. And once you do, it’s like magic. People start responding to you differently. You feel the love and hear “yes” a lot more than before. It’s a great feeling, and it doesn’t take much to get there. Just a little awareness and shift in how you do things.

The typical response to a challenge is to look to the latest trends… Maybe we should be looking to the past instead?

Looking into an ancient system that goes back thousands of years could be the answer to your loneliness.

The Enneagram System defines 9 personality types and every human being fits predominantly into one of these.

By identifying where you and others fit, you can establish their default ways of being, situational responses, and what they value most.

If you can establish their type, you can quickly uncover new insights about them and engage more effectively. And voila! You have another rewarding relationship.

The Path to Connection clearly walks you through it and roots you in the fundamental concepts and types.

In Path to Connection, you’ll discover:

  • Inventory of strengths and weaknesses for every personality type to identify your untapped potential and greatest risks
  • Practical steps you can apply immediately to build better relationships from the moment you meet someone
  • Relationship styles for the different types and how to effectively interact with them
  • Critical do’s and don’ts for each type to find the opportunities and avoid the pitfalls
  • How relationship dynamics change by the types involved in a particular interaction… and how to effectively position yourself
  • Methods for identifying a person’s Enneagram Type (including your own) to spend your time with the right people

    And much more.

    Some people are resistant to learning about the Enneagram Personality Types because it seems complicated initially or they don’t see how it works.

    The key is to get the fundamental concepts down first and then everything else becomes straight-forward from there. It actually doesn’t take much information before you can start applying it.
