One key to success is the ability to know what your motivators are and how to leverage them for positive outcomes. This course will teach you about the Enneagram and how you and others are driven by one of 9 core motivations. Deeper than personality systems which merely describe our behaviors, the Enneagram shows why we exhibit those behaviors, and indicates pathways for personal growth.
