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.
