Adapt your communication style according to your audience’s information-gathering tendencies. For example, some people are more focused on the “here and now” and come to understand things by tangibly seeing, touching and feeling. They ask for specifics and like order. Therefore, in communicating with them, be orderly and direct (i.e., show steps in a process), and provide details–facts, figures and evidence. On the other end of the continuum are people who are more intuitive—they look for the big picture and relationships, work in bursts, and are more future-oriented. Therefore, discuss the main idea first, avoid details unless asked and emphasize the possibilities.
