About this listen

We’re kicking off our new Lost in Translation series, all about how what you say isn’t always what the other person hears.

This week, we focus on Enneagram Type 1: what they hear, why it happens, and how to speak in a way that builds connection instead of frustration. Learn the hooks that trigger them, better ways to phrase your thoughts, and how curiosity can soften their inner critic.

You’ll learn:

  • The common “hooks” that trigger Type 1s (and why phrases like “It’s not a big deal” can be landmines).
  • The deeper reasons Type 1s misinterpret certain messages.
  • Practical phrases to use that validate their passion and preserve the relationship.
  • How curiosity can help soften their inner critic and lead to better mutual understanding.
  • Why both speakers and listeners share responsibility in keeping communication clear.

Whether you’re a Type 1, live with one, or work alongside one, this conversation will help you avoid getting lost in translation.

Next Week: We explore Type 2 in our Lost in Translation series.
