#71 Enneagram Collaboration Global Keynote: Unlocking the Blind Type
This keynote is hosted by Enneagram Collaboration Global (ECG). ECG is a global collaborative network connecting Enneagram teachers and practitioners across traditions, with a shared commitment to dialogue and ethical Enneagram practice.
In this keynote, Flemming Christensen explores the concept of the Blind Type in the Enneagram and its role in personal growth and self-awareness.
The Blind Type refers to aspects of the Enneagram that are not typically recognised or integrated by an individual. Rather than being simple blind spots, the Blind Type represents qualities and capacities that remain underdeveloped due to lack of awareness.
By identifying and integrating the Blind Type, individuals can access untapped potential, expand their perspective, and develop a fuller presence in both personal and professional life.
In this keynote, you'll hear more about:
✔️ What the Blind Type is – and how it differs from blind spots
✔️ Why the Blind Type holds untapped potential
✔️ How discomfort and resistance point toward the Blind Type
✔️ The role of reflection and dialogue in identifying it
✔️ How integration supports balance, leadership, and authenticity
