September 08, 2021 A deep dive on the Enneagram with Jeremy Smith - how he first got interested in the Enneagram, the changes it has made in his life, and suggested resources for learning more
On this episode of Virtual Coffee, I sat down with my colleague, Jeremy Smith, to chat about the Enneagram. Be sure to check out episode 66 of the podcast for a solo episode introducing the Enneagram - that's also where I shouted Jeremy which hopefully played a part in convincing him to be a guest on today's episode.
Jeremy is a very talented designer who really focuses on bringing a human element, empathy-first mindset to his designs. He bases all of his work on user research, and he is an incredible colleague and friend. In the office, we often discuss the Enneagram and how to apply it to our day-to-day lives, and that’s what we dive into in this episode. Jeremy discusses how he first discovered the Enneagram, how he applies it to his life and work, and resources he suggests for anyone wanting to learn about the Enneagram themselves. You can connect with Jeremy on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremysmithdesign/. Happy listening!
