The Nine Modes

---

The Nine Modes are nine recurring ways the mind organizes attention during conversation.

They are not types of people or personalities, but configurations of thought that emerge as conversations pursue different goals. 

Each of the following articles explores the modes, how to recognize them, what each contributes, and why understanding them changes the way we communicate.

Each article is available to listen to in podcast format through Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Simply search “Nine Modes.”
