Update: 2025-10-29
Description
Kelly and Damon unpack how a Type 9 processes “Be assertive” and why it can feel like a threat to calm rather than an invitation to contribute. Together they map common misreads, offer gentler phrases that work, and give Nines a simple reframe to keep their voice in the room.
What’s inside:
- How “be assertive” can land as “start conflict” (and what to say instead)
- Gentle prompts that invite a Nine’s perspective without pressure
- A self-check for Nines: “Are they attacking my calm or making space for my voice?”
- Workplace & family scripts you can use today
