Winning
We all want to win. After all, winning is better than not winning. In a game, a win is defined. But life is not a game. And winning in the most important areas of our lives isn’t always clear. So, how do we win?

ENNEAGRAM
What Number Are You On The Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a system of personality typing that describes patterns in how people conceptualize the world and manage their emotions. The Enneagram model describes nine different personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-pointed diagram which helps to illustrate how the types relate to one another. The name Enneagram comes from the Greek: Ennea is the Greek word for nine and Gramma means something that’s drawn or written.
