Process Communication Model (PCM) is the tool to make a daily difference
Can Process Communication Model really help? You have meetings, take calls, and stay up-to-speed with e-mails and apps. But how can you truly connect in a world that’s always on? And how can you create an environment in which your team will thrive and build on each other’s strengths? The Process Communication Model® (PCM) is the premier tool for decoding human interactions. As leaders and colleagues, you can learn to speak each other’s language and contribute to a workplace that leverages differences for the better.
Practical results, every day
Process Communication Model is practised in 54 countries by leading organizations, such as NASA, L’Oréal, Pixar, and BMW, serviced by a network of over 4,000 certified trainers and coaches.
Here’s what Process Communication Model can do for your organization:
Inclusive, individual leadership
If you know each of your team members’ unique set of needs, you’ll know how to connect to and motivate everyone in their own way.
Less stress, more energy
Practising PCM will help your employees turn potentially negative conversations, situations, or actions into positive, productive work.
Increased operational effectiveness
Reducing miscommunication leads to more efficient teams.
Less confusion, more clarity. Less talk, more action.
Discover the art and science of adaptive communication
Process Communication Model was developed by world-renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Taibi Kahler, who discovered that stress behaviour can be predicted and turned around. Working with NASA, he developed a validated inventory, which became the Process Communication Model.
Practice PCM in four steps:
- Be aware of your personality: Understanding your preferences means knowing what you need to be in a good place and how to fulfill those needs. In doing so, you can manage your stress and take care of yourself.
- Recognize what other people do, say, and show: Observing other people’s recognizable behavior reveals their preferences and the best way to approach them.
- Adapt your communication style: Based on what you observe, you will know what to do, say, and show in response so that you can make a genuine connection that works for you both.
- Build stronger relationships: Enjoy the benefits of positive daily interactions at work, in meetings, video calls, presentations, social situations – and at home, too.
PCM differentiates among six personality types, which we all have within us: Thinker, Persister, Rebel, Promoter, Harmoniser, and Imaginer. Each type has its own strengths and preferences. A different combination of the six types takes centre-stage in every one of us.
