How To Be A Better Public Speaker Based On Your Personality Type

Gavin McMahon, cofounder of fassforward strategy and communications consulting group in New York, thinks that it's a fundamental mistake to see presenting advice as one-size-fits-all.

He's spent the last seven years collecting data from his company's work with clients like Microsoft and Estee Lauder. He's determined that presenters naturally have different ways of prioritizing words, pictures, and structure, and that these tendencies result in six distinct kinds of presenters.

While experienced speakers can utilize techniques from any of the types, McMahon finds that every speaker starts as one of the six, and he believes that amateurs should play to their innate strengths and correct for the accompanying weaknesses.
