Last time we reviewed how introverts could become more effective in times of stress. For an introvert, stressful communication can happen anytime - whether in a social setting or workplace interaction. Verbalizing can trigger a fear of judgement because their brain takes more steps to process incoming information. For an extrovert stimulation is processed straight-forward and can be immediately received. This means any formal or social interaction can be rewarding and fun. In communication extroverted speakers often employ the following habits that make them engaging and influential. Whether you are a natural introvert, extrovert or something in-between, practicing these 6 steps will help anyone become an influential communicator.

These skills are intended to guide natural speakers in their innate habits, and to give more introverted speakers specific tools to practice. Regardless of where you identify, keep these habits in mind as they have influence in communication. Becoming an effective communicator is a skill that can be learned, and is not reserved to the naturally extroverted. There is no one-size-fits-all communication style when it comes to working with others or managing teams. Introverts, extroverts and everyone in between require different management styles and offer different skills.
