Summary: What can you learn about your internal motivations and drives from the Enneagram? We’re kicking off a series on this fascinating personality theory. In this introductory episode we will explain what it is, and then talk through each type with writer and enneagram enthusiast <a href="http://www.leighkramer.com">Leigh Kramer</a>.
