Deep Diving into Enneagram Leadership Styles - Peacemakers

I’m back, refreshed, and rejuvenated after a wonderful two weeks in the Austrian Alps with my family. There’s something incredibly powerful about stepping away from our daily routines and immersing ourselves in nature. It’s a reminder that work-life harmony isn’t just a nice to have; it’s a necessity for thriving as leaders and as individuals. Now, I’m excited to return with a renewed sense of purpose and energy to continue our journey together.
