Self-Understanding with the Enneagram: An Introduction
The Enneagram is a tool for self-understanding and insight into the values and motivations of others. It is used widely in business, schools, and in professional development. With greater understanding of ourselves and others we can build compassion and can affirm our strengths and blind spots. The Enneagram is a non-judgmental tool on our journey of healing and transformation.
