Leadership begins with self-awareness and understanding. The Enneagram is a scientific-based system of 9 distinct leadership styles. In this 90-minute interactive workshop, Orbis consultants will discuss how this tool helps use our strengths and gifts to find meaning in our work, gain perspective on what it is like to work with us, and how to better collaborate with others.
