#13: Enneagram 9 INsights

Written By Heather Hodges

In this episode, we continue our Enneagram series by exploring Type 9s – The Mediator or Adaptive Peacemaker. As part of the Gut (Anger) Triad and the Withdrawn Stance, 9s are easygoing, patient, and accepting but can struggle with inertia and avoiding conflict. Beneath their calm exterior, they struggle with inertia, indecisiveness, and unexpressed anger. Join me as we explore their core motivations, blind spots, workplace behaviors, and pathways for personal growth.

Core fear: Loss & separation


Strengths: Trustworthy, kind, creative, and natural mediators


Growth: Assert yourself, set priorities, and express your needs


Work & Leadership: Consensus-driven, stabilizing, and quietly influential

As leaders, 9s have the power to unite and lead in a way that fosters harmony and collaboration. Tune in to learn how to harness the strengths of this compassionate and steady type!
