I’m a big believer that the transformation is completely different than change. The Enneagram is not about the behavior. It’s more about where are you coming from. And once you connect with where you’re coming from, you can take yourself and take your life to beyond your limitations and beyond what you expect.

Islam Abokandil quotes from the Episode
Beyond limitations
Islam Abokandil:
“I’m a big believer that the transformation is completely different than change.
The Enneagram is not about the behavior.
It’s more about where are you coming from. And once you connect with where you’re coming from, you can take yourself and take your life to beyond your limitations and beyond what you expect.”
A platform for coexistence and Enneagram Enthusiasts
Islam Abokandil:
“As a sponsor I hope the IEA Conference in Egypt will be a platform for connecting people, a platform for exchanging ideas, exchanging thoughts, a platform for cooperation and coexistence, and a platform for understanding how things happen in our world.
We want Enneagram enthusiasts from all over the world to come together so we can talk, exchange ideas and we can open our hearts and our minds and put everything on the table and take it from there.”
The Loops and the coaching of Flemming Christensen
Islam Abokandil:
“First you identify a loop and the new habits that you need to integrate, so you are not falling in that loop.
Second question is what motivates such a previous habit, and how can you change it.
To work with that, you need to work with the three kinds of energies that the Enneagram is telling us. You need to work with the active energy, the receptive energy and the reconciling energy. And as we all know, the type 3 is more into active energy. So now how can I use the receptive energy more? How can I listen?
And listening is starting from the inside, not only listening to the people outside. How can I listen to my deep feelings?
What prevents me from getting into my deep feelings and listening to it? The type 3 belongs to the heart center and the heart center is connected with the heart.”
