What I liked best about the Enneagram workshop I have gone through with Mind Evolve is that they ask our people to speak about their life through their Enneagram Types and that helps me see how each Enneagram Types’ traits look like in real life. Now I can understand why certain people behave in certain ways using the lens of the Enneagram.
