Are you more of an extrovert, an introvert, or an ambivert? There’s a strength here that you probably haven’t noticed. An introvert typically finds energy in solitude and enjoys the company of a small group of close friends.
Thinking things through before speaking is one of an introvert’s natural strengths. An introvert typically wants to make sure that his contribution is worthwhile, which encourages preparation—a necessary component of a good public speaker.

A Nigerian lawyer named Temi Badru says an extrovert is a person who gets energized around other people and that speaking in front of large groups of people comes naturally to them. As a result, extroverts are likely to put themselves out there and speak in public, even when it’s impromptu.
“There’s a third category, ambivert, are people who usually display the qualities of introverts and extroverts depending on their context and goals. They are sometimes called ‘outgoing introverts’. They are also flexible,” Badru said.
The lawyer further noted that whichever personality one leans towards, it is essential to recognize personal strengths and leverage them in one’s public speaking journey. Also, identify areas a person needs to improve (weaknesses).
“You can be an introvert willing to put him/herself out there confidently or an extrovert who pays attention to details and prepares. There are so many great public speakers and event hosts with different personalities. Never allow your ‘personality’ to limit you,” the lawyer added.

“So if you’re an introvert, spend time with extroverts so you can speak confidently wherever you are. If you’re an extrovert, spend time with introverts to learn how to observe your environment and people around you,” Ohonsi said.
