Nagy on Fire Coaching (@nagyonfire)

“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” – Saint Catherine of Siena

Personality and temperament is a concept that has always intrigued me! So fascinated with the motivations of human behavior, I went to school to get my psychology degree. Understanding the WHY behind behavior is more valuable than simply observing and describing behavior and the Enneagram is the best tool to address just that! Once you become aware of your own motivations and have an explanation for the things you are trying to make sense of, you find the patience, forgiveness, and grace to replace the guilt, shame and confusion. I am thankful for this tool that helps us navigate relationships, work, life, and faith! Even better though, the Enneagram is not just for awareness but it is also a map with directions for growth and healing.

Due to my own experiences in my self-awareness exploration, I am empathetic to and equipped to help those of you who: have no clue where to start, those who have searched and haven’t figured it out yet, those who have gotten confused and overwhelmed, and for those of you who have mistyped and realized you have been wrong (I’ve mistyped a couple of times!). It is a process, and I am here to let you know that it is okay to embrace whatever track that you are on. My job as a coach is to help you navigate that specific track, in whatever stage of life you are in. I have helped all ages discover their type from adolescents to 70 year olds because it applies to every single one of us! It would be a joy and privilege to help you too.

Testimonials

“Amanda introduced me to the Enneagram several years ago. My first experience was typical, trying to identify my type by taking a free internet test. I was comfortable with the result until she encouraged me to take a deeper dive based on my motivations, not my behaviors. That led to lots of twists and turns around the Enneagram until I finally settled into a type I resonated with. I credit her coaching for the resulting emotional, spiritual, and psychological growth, something I couldn’t have done without her!” – Ric, Type 3
