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

Discover how to get the most out of your Intrapersonal Learners at work. Engagement and team building Motivational Speaker Tyler Hayden shows you how

You’re an intrapersonal learner if you prefer learning alone. So, how can someone who prefers learning alone use their learning style to increase team engagement? Intrapersonal learners excel at self-reflection and self-management and are often highly independent.

To make sure that you are able to perform at your best, try this:

Tell your team members and management that email is the best way to correspond with you
Set aside time to reflect and collect your thoughts before and after meetings
Take notes and use them frequently; many intrapersonal learners keep journals, so find a way that works best for you

Bonus: You have the ability to see how your role connects with others. Use that knowledge to make sure you are using yours and the skillsets of your peers to accomplish larger tasks.

This can look like taking a portion of a project to the side to work on it alone before coming back to collaborate with your team. It can also look like taking the initiative to be the one who plans the project, as making and organizing plans is another thing you excel at.

As an intrapersonal learner, how do you make sure you are staying engaged with your team?
