How to Speak a Type 9’s Language (And Why “Sure” Isn’t Always Yes)


Listen Later

We’ve made it to the end of our Enneagram communication series—and it’s Damon’s turn in the hot seat as we talk all things Type 9!

In this episode, Damon wrestles with “Nine doubt,” shares why he’s skeptical about gentle communication styles, and admits he might be a secret One. Kelly unpacks what truly drives the Peacemaker’s calm exterior, and why the word “sure” doesn’t always mean agreement.

Together, they explore how Nines communicate, how to draw out their hidden opinions, and the lifelong challenge of choosing between peacekeeping and peacemaking. It’s equal parts insight and laughs—and a perfect wrap-up to this series!

  • Damon confesses his “Nine doubt” (and wonders if he’s really a One)
  • What “sure” actually means when a Nine says it
  • The difference between peacemaking and peacekeeping
  • Why decisions—even small ones—feel like conflict to Nines
  • How Nines can practice healthy conflict and assertiveness
  • Journaling, Netflix, and Damon
  • Kelly’s tips for drawing out a Nine’s true thoughts and feelings
  • The hilarious story of Damon’s fireworks plan
  • “What Nines want you to know”—straight from Damon himself
