In the realm of leadership, two perspectives matter: how you see yourself and how others experience you. These two views can often collide, causing frustration, miscommunication, and lower team morale. The Mirror represents  your inner motivations, the drivers behind every decision you make. Through the Enneagram — a robust personality framework — you’ll gain clarity on what fundamentally motivates you,  whether that is the pursuit of success, the need for harmony, or a desire for security. By recognizing your core type, you discover the “why” behind your actions. This deeper self-awareness lays the groundwork for consistent, genuine leadership.

The Megaphone represents how you amplify your presence and message in a group setting. The Fascinate® system uncovers the unique ways you naturally command attention and respect. Perhaps you convey passion that sparks excitement, or you embody a steady reliability that fosters trust. Learning which of the seven Fascinate Advantages® resonates with you helps you capitalize on what already makes you compelling, ensuring your external influence aligns with your internal values.

Why This Matters for High-Performing Teams

When leaders only focus on one aspect—internal reflection without external expression, or vice versa—they create imbalance. Self-aware leaders who don’t know how to project their strengths can come off as timid or inconsistent. Leaders who only amplify their outer persona without exploring their inner motivations risk appearing superficial or untrustworthy. Striking the right balance is crucial for inspiring teams, setting clear expectations, and forging a culture where innovation thrives.

Why Should You Attend

Have you ever sensed that despite all your hard work, your team isn’t achieving its full potential? It’s frustrating to pour energy into leadership strategies—one-on-one meetings, open-door policies, or reward systems—only to watch your people remain disengaged. That’s the fear: realizing that there might be a deeper issue you haven’t addressed, and it could be blocking your team’s performance.

Uncertainty creeps in when you suspect that you don’t fully grasp the “why” behind your actions—or your team’s. Are you pushing hard because you want results fast, or are you trying to ensure everyone feels included? Do your team members understand your real intentions, or are they misinterpreting your drive as micromanagement or indifference? That’s the uncertainty: not knowing whether your true motivations are aligned with how you’re showing up as a leader.
Doubt sets in when misalignment between intention and perception erodes trust. You might doubt whether you have the emotional intelligence to inspire and not just demand, or whether your communication style fosters genuine collaboration. When the intent behind your leadership doesn’t translate into a positive impact on your team, everyone suffers. That’s the doubt: worrying that you’ll never bridge the gap between your motivation and your influence.

The key? Understanding your own motivations (the “Mirror”) and harnessing them for authentic impact (the “Megaphone”). Once you align internal intent with external influence, you become the kind of leader who drives success and cultivates a high-performing, engaged team. By confronting these fears head-on, you can refine your leadership style and eliminate  guesswork, empowering your team to reach new levels of excellence.

Topic Background

Today’s workplace demands more than just expertise or a flashy title; it requires leaders who understand their own core motivations and can effectively communicate those strengths to inspire others. When leaders are misaligned between their personal values with their outward behavior, team performance suffers, and organizational goals take a hit. By integrating insights from the Enneagram (the “Mirror”) and Fascinate® (the “Megaphone”), leaders gain a dual perspective on how they can better see themselves and how others perceive them. This holistic approach marries self-awareness with strategic influence, creating an environment where people connect authentically and work cohesively toward shared objectives.
