Ian Morgan Cron is an Enneagram teacher, host of the Typology podcast, and author of the new book, The Story of You: An Enneagram Journey to Becoming Your True Self.
Every person has a story. You’ve got a story. I’ve got a story. And not just a story of what actually happened, but a story we tell ourselves to help make sense of our lives.
In this episode, Ian Morgan Cron helps us understand that the stories we bring into adulthood often aren't helpful. As leaders, we need to write a new, healthy story.
