Join an inspiring conversation with Dominic Petty, a coach who helps high achievers find deeper purpose. Explore how self-awareness and understanding your Enneagram type can reshape your relationships and life.
What if everything you were certain about wasn't actually true? In this profound conversation, coach Dominic Petty reveals why increasing our self-awareness may be the most transformative journey we can undertake.
Drawing from his upbringing in South Chicago and his evolution from corporate leadership to becoming a coach for high-achievers, Dominic shares how our rigid perspectives often limit our relationships and happiness. "The only true wisdom is to know you know nothing," he reminds us, challenging the certainties we cling to that may be causing unnecessary suffering.
The discussion takes a fascinating turn when Dominic explains how many successful people use insecurity as fuel—constantly chasing external validation through achievements, status, or possessions without ever feeling "enough." This endless pursuit can never satisfy because it fails to address the core issue: how we see ourselves. Instead, Dominic suggests developing radical self-acceptance and understanding our triggers through tools like the Enneagram personality system.
Perhaps most valuable is Dominic's insight that relationships are skills to be developed, not abilities we naturally possess. "You get what you tolerate in this world," he observes, explaining how understanding our boundaries transforms our connections with others. Dr. B and Dominic also explore the differences between therapy and coaching, concluding that while therapy helps resolve past trauma, coaching provides actionable solutions for those ready to move forward.
If you're seeking deeper self-understanding, more fulfilling relationships, or simply wondering why success hasn't brought the happiness you expected, this conversation offers a roadmap to greater consciousness and joy.
