#43: INsights to Enneagram 7: The Enthusiastic Visionary

Written By Heather Hodges

Welcome back to the Enneagram Series! Today we’re wrapping up this solo series by exploring Type 7, The Enthusiast, The Epicure or The Enthusiastic Visionary.

Sevens bring joy, energy, and possibility wherever they go. They are spontaneous, optimistic, and endlessly curious. They are always looking for what’s next. But beneath that enthusiasm lies a deep desire to avoid pain and a fear of being deprived or limited.

·     

In this episode, Heather explores:

·      What drives Enneagram 7s: their Basic Fear, Desire, and Motivation

·      How the passion of gluttony shows up as an insatiable hunger for experiences

·      The difference between 7s with a strong 6 wing and 7s with a strong 8 wing

·      What 7s look like at work; their strengths, blind spots, and leadership style

·      How 7s handle stress (Type 1) and growth (Type 5)

·      Practical tips for 7s to grow in self-awareness, emotional depth, and follow-through

Whether you’re a 7 yourself or have a 7 in your life or workplace, you’ll come away with a new appreciation for the joyful, visionary spirit they bring, and a deeper understanding of how to support their growth journey.

Key Takeaway:
When Sevens slow down, stay present, and follow things through, their creativity and optimism become powerful forces for transformation.
