Toni looks at the psychological aspects of public speaking and the importance of understanding the different personality traits and learning styles that are present in all individuals in this fascinating episode. You will connect more with people who are from the same group as you so the challenge as a speaker is connecting with those with different styles within the room. If you understand both your own and others modality of learning then it is possible to make sure your presentations connect with everyone present, ensuring engagement and involvement when you are delivering. Listen in and begin by finding out what type of learner you are.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The DISC profile is an assessment tool that focuses on the 4 main personality traits - Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness.       A dominant person is a big picture thinker and target focused, driven and direct. An influencer often looks for solutions through collaboration with others, it’s all about relationships. Those who are steady are the people who are dependable, work at their own pace and are calm and sincere. Conscientious people enjoy their solitude, like working things out on their own and effectively use data and analysis to work towards the perfection they seek. People also have a dominant learning style. Visual – learns best through visuals and will describe things by how they look. Auditory – focuses on sound, learns better through auditory instructions. As a speaker, you will focus on tonality and the words chosen. Kinesthetic – focuses on feelings and the physicality of feelings.
