Enneagram at Work
Welcome to Enneagram at Work, your Saturday leadership download. We're bringing you insights for your weekend so you're ready for Monday.
This is a podcast about understanding people at work and navigating professional relationships. We spend so much of our time at work, why not make it more enjoyable by working on creating more enjoyable relationships with our teammates?
Listen in each week to gain self-awareness, relationship management, leadership development, personal growth insights, and real-life application ideas through the lens of the Enneagram inside educational episodes and interview conversations.

190. Leadership Team Chemistry: Type 1, 2, & 8 with 3D Dentists and Raleigh Dental Arts Group
In this extra-special episode of Enneagram at Work, I’m joined by not one, but three guests from the leadership team at 3D Dentists:
- T-Bone (Type 8) – Owner of 3D Dentists and practicing dentist at Raleigh Dental Arts
- Meredith (Type 2/3) – Business Director at 3D Dentists
- Megan (Type 1/8) – Dental Hygienist and schedule master at Raleigh Dental Arts
I first met this crew at their high-energy 3D Dentists Summit in Nashville, and I knew they'd bring the fun and real-world insights. This conversation is part workplace case study, part leadership roundtable, and part “real talk” about working closely with very different personalities.
We dig into:
- How their Enneagram types shape their leadership styles, communication, and decision-making
- The pet peeves that can cause tension, and how they work through them
- Why trust, directness, and humor keep their team strong (even when they clash)
- Lessons they’ve learned about delegating, giving feedback, and balancing two intertwined businesses
- How understanding type dynamics has changed the way they work with each other and their broader teams
Whether you’re leading a practice, managing a department, or trying to navigate strong personalities on your team, you’ll walk away with practical takeaways for building trust, reducing friction, and creating your own version of a “dream team.”
