Deliver to a DISC-tinctly diverse room
Hi!
Speaking to a room full of people can feel like assembling a puzzle, right?
Especially when you’re aware of the DISC style.
You now understand that each person absorbs information differently…
So you need to ensure your presentation can still speak to everyone.
How can you do that?
Let’s break it down in this email:
1. The Wholesome Mixture
When you've got a mix of D, I, S, and C styles in your audience, this means you need variety.
See, some folks want the hard facts…
While others are longing for the big picture or an engaging story.
To know how you can effectively convey your message to them…
You first need to know what makes each of the profiles tick.
2. The Variation
D (Dominance) personalities are your go-getters
They’re eager for results and bottom-line summaries.
So, when addressing them, be concise and get straight to the point.
They appreciate clarity and efficiency.
As for I (Influence) personalities, these people are the life of the party!
They thrive on interpersonal interactions and enjoy a lively, dynamic delivery.
So, engage them with anecdotes, stories, and a bit of humour.
S (Steadiness) personalities, on the other hand, cherish relationships and collaboration.
To engage them, create moments of understanding, reflection, and connection in your talk.
Maybe share a case study or a personal experience that resonates emotionally with them.
And for C (Conscientiousness) personalities, data, accuracy, and details light up their world.

When diving into topics, back up your points with solid evidence and statistics.
They value thoroughness and precision.
3. Blend it All
Now that you know the key things about each DISC style…
The key is to sprinkle in each element throughout your presentation.
You could start with an engaging story for the I's…
Then move to data for the C's, followed by a concise summary for the D's.
Finally, wrap it up with a moment of reflection for the S's.
Remember this:
Understanding your audience is half the battle won.
When you respect and cater to their diverse ways of processing information…
Not only will you make your message resonate but you’ll also leave a lasting impact.
