Interpersonal Learners: Here's how to take advantage of your learning style and increase team engage

Learn from Motivational Speaker Tyler Hayden how to engage a team with Interpersonal Learners - based on his tool Multiple Intelligence Quotient.

You’re an interpersonal learner if you enjoy learning through communication and interaction with others. You’re a people person, a people learner, let’s say. And your unique learning style can be used to encourage your team to connect and engage with each other.

Here’s how:

  • Give (constructive) personal feedback to your peers and encourage them to do the same for you.
  • Propose group work for daunting tasks and complicated problems.
  • Encourage discussions, presentations, and mentoring between team members.

Bonus: As an interpersonal learner, you are very conscious of how others use verbal and non-verbal language. Use that skill to determine when other team members will be receptive to your ideas so that you can present them at the most effective times.

Remember that not everyone is a people person, so make sure you are paying attention to those who would prefer to collaborate in a low-pressure way (such as via email) and giving them what they need as well.
