00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.400
You spend a lot of time learning how to understand your students.
00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:09.119
But what about understanding the adults that you work with every day?
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:17.280
This might be the coworker who wants to talk everything through, or the administrator who just wants to make a decision.
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:29.760
It might be the teacher who needs time to think before answering, or the teammate who's maybe already wondering what could go wrong before you've even finished explaining your idea.
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:35.119
Because education is about students, but it's also a workplace.
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:46.000
And behind every classroom, school, and district, there are people trying to communicate, collaborate, lead, solve problems, and make it through some really demanding days together.
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.399
And that is exactly where the Enneagram can help.
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.240
My name is Sarah Wallace.
00:00:52.320 --> 00:01:01.840
I'm the founder of Enneagram MBA, where I've spent almost the last six years bringing the Enneagram into workplaces and teams.
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:12.560
And I'm Tani Hall, and I've worked across education from supporting students in the classroom to working with families and now leading and coaching a team of educators.
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:22.000
And Tani and I have decided to team up, and together we're going to be bringing the Enneagram into the world of education.
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:33.040
Yes, but it's not just to learn your type, but to better understand yourself, the people you work with, and what might be happening underneath the moments when you just don't seem to understand each other.
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:59.120
In these episodes that you're hopefully going to be tuning into, we're going to be talking about communication and conflict and leadership, stress, all kinds of relationships, and those everyday moments, situations that can make working in education both incredibly meaningful and at other times incredibly hard.
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:06.079
So we hope you'll tune in to our short practical conversations that you can take with you on your way to school.
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.080
And hopefully use before that final bell rings.
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:19.360
So with that, Tawny joined me in welcoming our listeners to any groom for educators.
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.479
And class is almost in session.
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.879
We hope that we'll see you inside.
