Most personality tools tell you what you do.

The Enneagram asks Why.

Why you react the way you do under pressure. Why some situations bring out the best in you — and others bring out something you'd rather not see. Why knowing your type, when it's accurate, feels less like a label and more like a homecoming.

Introduction to Your Inner Compass is a five-module video course that gives you a clear, practical foundation in the Enneagram — without the complexity that usually comes with it.

No wings. No subtypes. No personality soup.

Just the core framework, the nine types, and a direct connection between who you are and how you actually live — in your body, your relationships, and your daily patterns.

What you'll cover

Module 1 — Why Most Personality Tools Leave You Stuck

Why the Enneagram is different, why traditional approaches fall short, and what the ENRG framework adds that's always been missing.

Module 2 — Meet the Nine Types

A clear portrait of all nine types — including how each one moves under stress, in growth, and where they tend to hold tension in the body.

Module 3 — The ENRG Framework

Energise, Nourish, Restore, Grow — a practical bridge between knowing your personality and actually using that knowledge to live better.

Module 4 — Your Type, Your Stress, Your Body

How your type connects to the way your body holds and expresses stress — and how the lines of integration and disintegration work as real, daily tools.

Module 5 — Your Pathway Forward

What comes next. How to get accurately typed, and what the deeper ENRG modules offer once your foundation is in place.

What's included

• 5 video modules (~2 hours total)
• Student workbook — a companion PDF with key concepts, type reference guide, and reflection exercises for every module
• Lifetime access

This course is for you if...

• You've heard of the Enneagram but found it overwhelming or confusing
• You've typed yourself online and aren't sure the result is accurate
• You want to understand why you do what you do — especially under stress
• You're interested in the connection between personality and physical wellbeing
• You're looking for a genuinely practical starting point, not more theory

This course is not...

A deep dive into every type's full profile — that's what the more comprehensive ENRG modules are for, once your type is confirmed. This is the beginning. A compass needle. The orientation you need to make everything that comes next actually land.

About Jen & Ian Martin

We're the founders of ENRG Perspective, based in the Central Highlands of Tasmania. Ian conducts all professional typing sessions and has a rare gift for seeing past surface behaviour to the type underneath. Jen brings the framework to life through teaching, writing, and the ENRG courses.

Our approach is deliberately simplified — core type and lines only — because we believe the Enneagram is most useful when you can actually use it. When things get hard.

Ready to go deeper?

After completing this course, the natural next step is a professional typing session with Ian — a photo, a questionnaire, and a 30-minute interview that cuts through the guesswork and gives you an accurately identified type to build from.

Everything becomes more useful — more specific, more personal — once that foundation is in place.
