You've mastered powerful presence skills! Now let's add the final layer: adapting your communication style to different personality types.
The same message delivered differently can land powerfully with one person but fall flat with another. Adaptation is your secret weapon for universal connection.
Engagement Message
Think of two very different people you know—in one word, what would you adjust when speaking to the second person?
There are four main communication styles: Analytic, Driver, Amiable, and Expressive. Each responds to different approaches and has unique preferences.
Your job isn't to change who you are, but to flex your delivery to match their natural communication style.
Engagement Message
In one word, how do you feel when someone communicates in a way that perfectly matches your preferences?
Analytic types love data, details, and logical structure. They want facts before feelings, and time to process information thoroughly.
With analytics, slow down your pace, provide supporting evidence, and use your signposting skills heavily. They appreciate organized, methodical explanations.
Engagement Message
Have you ever spoken with an analytic?
Driver types want bottom-line results fast. They're task-focused, direct, and prefer concise communication without extra fluff.
With drivers, get to the point quickly, focus on outcomes, and use confident body language. Skip the small talk and lengthy explanations.
Engagement Message
In one short sentence, how would you start a conversation with a Driver?
Amiable types prioritize relationships and harmony. They want to feel connected and need reassurance that everyone's needs are considered.
With amiables, use warm eye contact, build psychological safety first, and show how decisions affect people. They respond well to collaborative language.
