70: Resolving Conflict with the Enneagram with Lauren Gray
Think about the last time you had a conflict with someone. How did it turn out? Did you feel like the other person was misinterpreting your words, your actions, your need for space (or your need to face the conflict head-on)? Do you wish you knew how to approach conflict better? In Episode 70, Daniel and Christina continue their interview with Lauren Gray (certified Enneagram coach) about how each type communicates and how to approach each type when you are in conflict with them. If you missed part one, make sure you tune in to Episode 69 for all the details about Enneagram types 1 through 5.
