The document discusses the importance of H2H (human to human) interactions in the corporate world and introduces the Enneagram personality model, which identifies nine personality types: Reformer, Helper, Achiever, Individualist, Investigator, Loyalist, Enthusiast, Challenger, and Peacemaker. Each personality type has its own strengths, weaknesses, and improvement tips to enhance personal and professional effectiveness. Understanding these personality traits can help individuals unlock their potential and foster better relationships.

In this ever growing corporate world the real growth Mantra
is not B2B or B2C.
“The core success factor is H2H ( Human to Human) . Imagine
the power one can experience if we know the strengths and
weaknesses of all the people that we know”
