I've been reading Refining Your Style: Learning from Respected Communicators. The book lists 13 styles of communication along with a featured communicator that uses that style. Here are the 13 styles, the purpose, and the featured communicator:
- Creative Storyteller (The Listener's Imagination) Max Lucado
- Direct Spokesperson (The Listener's Will) Franklin Graham
- Scholarly Analytic (The Listener's Logic) Tim Keller
- Revolutionary Leader (The Listener's Passion) Erwin McManus
- Engaging Humorist (The Listener's Funnybone) Ken Davis
- Convincing Apologist (The Listener's Worldview) Lee Strobel
- Inspiring Orator (The Listener's emotions) Kribyjon Caldwell
- Practical Applicator (The Listener's Habits) Bob Russell
- Persuasive Motivator (The Listener's Attitude) Zig Ziglar
- Passionate Teacher (The Listener's Mind) Liz Curtis Higgs
- Relevant Illustrator (The Listener's Common Sense) Gene Appel
- Cultural Prophet (The Listener's Conscience) Chuck Colson
- Unorthodox Artist (The Listener's Senses) Rob Bell
I'm not sure what category I fit into. If you've heard me speak, why not leave a post and pick a category that you think fits me. If you are a public speaker, leave a post describing which category fits you.

I think you would fit into a couple of those categories but If I have to choose I would say the persausive motivator.
