Knowing Yourself Deeply: The Enneagram, Neuroscience, and the Art of Being Human with Hayden Lee, MCC
What does it really mean to “know yourself deeply”? In this illuminating conversation, Master Certified Coach Hayden Lee joins host Lyssa deHart to explore how the Enneagram and neuroscience come together to reveal the patterns that shape who we are, and who we can become.
From his early career in acting and education to his leadership as co-founder of the Master Mind Institute, Hayden shares how curiosity and courage drive both personal and professional transformation. Together, Lyssa and Hayden dive into topics such as passion as a cultivated practice, the balance between vulnerability and authenticity, and the power of aligning intent with impact.
Listeners will gain fresh insight into why inner work matters just as much as outer success, how the brain’s wiring influences growth, and how leaders can build the self-awareness needed to create psychologically safe and thriving organizations.
