This week we’re continuing our Enneagram in Relationships series with a look at Type Five — The Investigator or the Observer.

If you’re a Five or if you love someone who is, this type is thoughtful, insightful, and deeply perceptive.  They see the world through analysis, curiosity, and understanding. Because they live so much in their inner world, their relational needs are often overlooked - or misunderstood - by others.

In this week’s episode we learn more about Type Five’s, how they navigate relationships and I share a few practical ways to better communicate with, support, and lead a Type Five.

Whether you love, work with, or lead a Type Five you will appreciate the calm, grounding presence, their in-depth knowledge and insights and practical help in different situations.
