The Most Important Question You’ll Ever Ask Yourself
Who are you?
It's one of the most powerful questions we can ask ourselves, yet it often feels unsettling, even uncomfortable. In a world full of labels, expectations, and comparisons, have you ever truly stopped to ask yourself—who am I, at my core? If someone asked you this today, would it catch you off guard? Or would you finally embrace the answer, with a sense of clarity and peace?
Knowing yourself is a gift. It’s not just a luxury—it’s the key to unlocking your deepest potential. You are uniquely wired, and understanding your own lens on the world can transform the way you relate to others. If only we could help our younger selves—and the next generation—discover this earlier. It would prevent misunderstandings, foster empathy, and most importantly, ignite a compassion within us for ourselves. We could stop running from who we are and start embracing the very essence that makes us whole.
The impact of truly knowing yourself extends far beyond personal growth. It reverberates through every area of your life—especially in leadership and team dynamics. The simple act of understanding who you are can open the door to transformational collaboration and a stronger, more cohesive vision. It can lead to success in ways that go beyond numbers—creating powerful connections, overcoming challenges, and sparking innovation. It’s the secret ingredient to unlocking true potential.
And yet, the question remains: Who are you?
This is where the Enneagram comes in. It’s a tool that helps you see yourself—your fears, your motivations, your hidden patterns. Unlike other methods of self-discovery, the Enneagram reflects back your deepest truths, the ones you often overlook or deny. What drives you, and what are you protecting yourself from? This tool doesn’t just help you answer the question, "Who am I?"—it helps you feel, think and know it in your bones. And with that insight, you’ll be able to see not just yourself, but those around you in a whole new light.
As we approach a new year, filled with fresh possibilities, the question of who you are is more important than ever. New beginnings. New goals. New risks and rewards. What if this year, the greatest goal you set is to deeply know yourself, so that you can show up as your most authentic self in everything you do?
I’d love to help you embark on this journey—the journey of truly becoming who you were always meant to be. And to help your team do the same. Together, we can make 2025 the year that marks the beginning of an entirely new chapter, one where you embrace who you are and let it guide you to greater heights. Because when you know yourself, there’s nothing stopping you from becoming the person you were always meant to be - authentically you.
