I’ve been working on something I’m excited to bring to the Next Level Founders community. I’ve run this with several groups of founders before, and I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it becomes when a small group comes together, not just to talk about what’s happening, but to actually work through it in a deeper way. This is an opportunity to build real skills, expand your perspective, and be in a room with others who are also navigating meaningful challenges in their business and life. What this is: The Next Level Circle is a small group that meets regularly to support each other’s growth, both professionally and personally. Traditionally it meets monthly but we may meet more often for shorter until we have a more regular group. You bring a real project, situation, or challenge, something that actually matters to you. Not something surface level. Something that has complexity, unknowns, and requires you to grow in order to move it forward. From there, the group works with you. Not by giving advice or trying to fix it… But by helping you see more clearly, reflect more deeply, and access a broader way of navigating what’s in front of you. Over time, you begin to develop a different level of awareness, effectiveness, and self-trust in how you lead and operate. What we focus on: This isn’t about solving technical problems. Most of what comes up tends to be around: • How you’re showing up in your role • The decisions you’re navigating • Relationships and coordination with others • The capabilities required for what’s next • The gap between where you are and what’s being asked of you We work on both effectiveness and fulfillment, not one or the other. And we do it by learning how to see and respond from a deeper perspective. What a session looks like: Each session will have a simple structure: • Time to reconnect, reflect, and build coaching skills • Dedicated time for each person to be supported by the group • A closing to reflect on what shifted and what you’ll take forward

This was how I was introduced to the inner work. I wanted to start bringing it here to share with you all. I even made a NotebookLM video to introduce it. How about that? My favorite part is that the enneagram is not even pictured in the video, yeah me! The diagram is attached below for reference. I could create a 40 hour class on this topic so take this super lightly and let's start the conversation here. I think this work of awareness building is the first step before any inner work. It gives us a common language to work with and patterns that we can see in our lives. Please hold this very lightly and try not to grasp too hard to it. Another disclaimer is to let others type themselves. It is their work to do so please don't tell someone that they are a particular type. The Enneagram is a map of how we move through life. The first shape is a circle. That represents wholeness. The part of you that isn’t stuck, isn’t reacting, isn’t trying to become anything. It is already here. You are already here and complete. The first breakdown is the triangle from 3-6-9. This represents the differentiation of heart centered, head centered, or body centered. More on this in the next post I create. That points to something deeper. The way we get caught in loops, and how awareness begins to open us back up. Within the circle are nine points. Each center has three types. Each point is a different way of seeing the world, a different pattern of thinking (head), feeling(heart), and acting(body) that we tend to default to under pressure. This isn’t about putting yourself in a box. It’s about seeing the box you’re already in. Your type might have been most noticible in your 20s and may have softened as you developed over time. And once you can see it clearly, something starts to shift. Curious… as you listen to this, what do you notice about your own patterns?
