  • There are four personality archetypes: Explorer, Organizer, Connector, and Analyzer. Everyone has elements of each archetype and it’s important to consider the context and situation in communication.
  • Assess the situation and the people involved, look for cues to identify their personality archetypes. Align with the purpose of the conversation and the receiver's needs. Adapt by adjusting the words, pace, and tone of communication to match the receiver's style and context.
  • Apply adaptive communication by observing and listening to cues from the receive and adapting your communication style to match the receiver’s needs. By applying this, you’ll be able to connect to people and make them feel heard, which leads to positive outcomes.
