The Enneagram at Work with Erik Dominguez and Chelsea Laub

In this episode of the Evoke EQ podcast, host Whitney Warne is joined by Enneagram facilitators EriK Dominguez and Chelsea Laub to discuss the motivations of the nine Enneagram types in the workplace. They explain that the Enneagram is different from other personality assessments because it cuts to the core of why people do what they do, rather than just describing their behavior. The hosts provide an overview of the body types (8, 9, and 1), the heart types (2, 3, and 4), and the head types (5, 6, and 7), and discuss the motivations and the motivators for each type. They emphasize the importance of understanding and valuing the motivations of team members in order to create a positive and productive work environment.
