In this episode of Enneagram at Work, Joel and Jim talk with Megan Burton, owner-partner of A Field Middleburg, about how understanding her Enneagram type and instinctual stack has shaped the way she leads and builds a business.

Megan shares how identifying as a Type 8 with a Hunter-Farmer-Teamer stack helped her better understand her intensity, need for autonomy, leadership style, and the kinds of people she needs around her as the company grows. The conversation also explores communication with employees, working alongside a Type One business partner, recognizing what is underneath our reactions at work, and building...

In this episode of Enneagram at Work, Joel and Jim talk with Halie Howells, owner of Wellspring Center for Counseling, about how the Enneagram has shaped her growth as both a therapist and a business leader. Halie leads a growing counseling practice with more than 30 therapists across multiple locations.

As an Enneagram 2, Halie shares the challenge of moving from being everyone's helper and cheerleader to actually taking up the role of boss—setting clear expectations, having difficult conversations, and learning that caring for people doesn't mean doing everything for them.

In the first episode of our Enneagram at Work series, we talk with Shawn Cook of Advocate Wealth Management about how he uses the Enneagram with clients—including how understanding a client’s instinctual stack can help inform an investment strategy that fits the way they naturally approach security, resources, risk, and relationships.

What if everything you believe about why you are the way you are is only half the story? In this episode, Joel and Jim take on the most common explanation people give for their own personality: I am this way because of what happened to me. It is not wrong, they argue. It is incomplete. Personality forms from a mix of what you were born with, the environment you interacted with, and what you keep building in response.

From there the conversation opens up into why so much growth work quietly fails, the difference between healing and...

Joel Hubbard and Jim Zartman explore the Enneagram’s three centers of intelligence: Head, Heart, and Body. They discuss the function of each center, what happens when it is overused, what it costs us when it is missing, and what becomes possible through integration. Head thinks. Heart connects. Body acts.

In this episode, Jim and Joel return after a break to explain the deeper work happening behind the scenes at The Art of Growth. They revisit the foundations of the Enneagram, clarifying what they mean by “type” through three key components: core motivation, schema, and expression.

They also introduce a major shift in their current work: moving beyond the idea of nine types with separate instinctual subtypes and toward a more integrated model of 54 types, where each Enneagram type is inseparable from its instinctual stack. Along the way, they discuss why some older Enneagram descriptions no l...

In this episode of The Art of Growth, Joel Hubbard and Jim Zartman sit down once again with therapist Michelle Pruett to explore “faux wisdom” in the therapy world—those phrases, concepts, and quick fixes that sound good but miss the heart of true healing. Together, they unpack how readiness, resistance, and relational depth play vital roles in transformation. They also revisit the importance of calibrated support and challenge, the misuse of trauma language, and how timing matters more than advice.
