  • Coaching Type Three: Reframing Achievement and Worth

    Coaching Type Three: Reframing Achievement and Worth
    Jul 9 2026
    In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Skora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore talk about coaching Enneagram Type Threes. Type Threes – Striving to Feel Outstanding – display high integrity and genuine drive, but get painted as deceptive phonies in most Enneagram writing. The hosts push back on these misconceptions and share what they’ve learned from the Threes that they've coached. They’ve shown high integrity, strong goal orientation, and real desire to contribute, but the actual problem isn't fakery but a broken sense of worth. Mario and MJ break down the connection points through the "duck on the pond" dynamic, smooth on top and frantic underneath. They also break down why most Threes they've coached display high integrity and genuine drive, and what actually blocks them from real leadership.“I can’t tell you how many times people have assumed that I’m a Type Three because I am self-employed and I have a lot on my plate. It’s like if you’re busy, and if you’re in some way entrepreneurial and self-employed, then you must be a Three. ” -Creek [09:06]“I think the client’s level of maturity has an impact on this. When a Three is immature or insecure, they often fall into the trap of highlighting. It’s like I’m not sure if you’re seeing what I’m doing so I’ve got to make sure that you see it. So I’m going to talk about my accomplishments, and I’m going to talk about great things and possibility and that sort of thing. And then as they grow and mature and settle into themselves a little bit, they just don’t feel the need to make the point anymore, because their actions speak for themselves.” -Mario [19:45]“Threes have this built-in assumption that they have to demonstrate their worth, and maturity has to do with that, with understanding that they don’t.” -María José [22:49]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:10] Striving to Feel Outstanding[06:31] Dismantling the misconceptions of Type Three[10:46] The connecting points[16:46] Guarding their true self[21:46] Showing people their worth[29:47] The subtypes[35:21] Recent example of the ATA process[40:18] Purpose as the Accelerator[43:04] Final thoughtsConnect with us:Awareness to ActionATA on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodYouTube: ATA Podcast NetworkEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MoviePod: Thinking Well & WhySubstack: mariosikora.substack.comBook: How to Think Well, and Why: The Awareness to Action Guide to Clear ThinkingMaría José Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional OptimismPod: International Enneagram Association PodcastPod: Thinking Well & Why

  • Type Five: Why Detachment Isn't About Avoiding People

    Type Five: Why Detachment Isn't About Avoiding People
    Jun 25 2026
    In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Skora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore tackle coaching Type Five. This type – Striving to Feel Detached – is often misread as cold as they create an emotional buffer between themselves and the messiness of the world. The hosts break down their key insight which is that Fives aren't unfeeling. They're often highly sensitive and defend hard because they care. Mario and MJ discuss this type’s strengths, such as objectivity, perspective, and sharp advisory work, and their blind spots, which are intellectual arrogance, passive-aggressive communication and treating abstractions as safer than actual people. Coaching Type Five to move toward real engagement without sacrificing the boundaries they need helps them create space instead of overwhelm and shift how they operate.TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:58] Why Fives are deeply misunderstood[08:06] The hidden sensitivity behind the detachment[12:25] The Connecting Points[16:45] Intentional engagement over avoidance[23:58] Other strengths and weaknesses[31:33] Redefining healthy detachment[35:21] An example with the ATA Process[39:30] Difference between Type Five and Type Nine[41:25] The Accelerator: conscious practiceConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodYouTube: ATA Podcast NetworkEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionATA’s Subtypes And Instinctual Biases Two-Day Workshop: thesubtypes.comMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MoviePod: Thinking Well & WhySubstack: mariosikora.substack.comBook: How to Think Well, and Why: The Awareness to Action Guide to Clear ThinkingMaría José Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional OptimismPod: International Enneagram Association PodcastPod: Thinking Well & Why

    Jun 10 2026

    Thinking Well & Why, a new podcast on the Awareness to Action network hosted by Mario Sikora, Lee Fields and Seth “Creek” Creekmore, will tackle critical thinking, reasoning, and intellectual honesty – not as abstract disciplines, but as practical tools for making sense of life. Your biggest obstacle to being right is trying not to be wrong. The same cognitive biases that shape every area of life show up in your Enneagram work. The hosts promise no guarantees, but will offer sharp, direct conversation about the thinking skills worth defending.

    Powerfully Coaching Enneagram Type Eights
    May 28 2026

    In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Skora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore talk about coaching Enneagram Type Eight. As this type strives to feel powerful, Type Eight can be fairly extreme in pretty much everything that they do, but they tend to end up in leadership positions. But this could mean they’re great leaders or toxic ones. Mario and MJ discuss their approach to coaching this type by coming up with their own strength to match their energy.

  • Connecting with Enneagram Type Twos Through Coaching

    Connecting with Enneagram Type Twos Through Coaching
    May 14 2026

    In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Skora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore talk about coaching Enneagram Type Two. They examine how this type strives to feel emotionally connected to others, clarifying the common misconception that all Twos are helpers. Twos build rapport through noticing others and creating closeness, but a common coaching challenge with a Type two are the boundary issues, where they either violate others' boundaries or fail to maintain their own. The coaches explore the "make you love me" dynamic and provide practical insights for working with this relational and emotionally aware type.
