Because some of you asked me to do some new posts on the subject of “What would the six PCM Personality Types do…”, here I come with a new one. I had fun creating this article, as I can clearly recognise many of these behaviours, strengths and needs in the people around me and, of course, myself. 

I hope you will resonate with it too and it will help you build better work relationships… with all the six PCM Personality Types 😉.

And remember: we have all six PCM Personality Types IN us, so it’s absolutely fine to recognise yourself or your colleagues in more than one!

My PCM Training Courses

If you want to get your own PCM Personality Profile, as well as a host of amazingly insightful information about yourself and others, come and join me for one of my Open PCM Training courses (see more info below) or find out if we can collaborate for an in-house PCM Training for your teams.

We go into the subject of PCM Personality Types and what they mean for your leadership approach, your communication and stress management, as well as many more interesting themes in my PCM training courses. I normally deliver PCM in-house, face-to-face or online, for organisations around Europe and the world.

However, twice a year (in early spring and autumn), I organise Open PCM Training Courses, where anyone can sign up. One session in English and one in Romanian. These are for all those who want to know themselves better and improve their relationships, their communication and their stress management.

The Open PCM Training Courses are organised as a 5-week programme: we meet online every week for 4 hours to learn and practice and then we have homework from one week to another to “play the detective” and practice again what we’ve learnt. If this interests you, check out the Open PCM Training Programme presentation page or schedule a virtual coffee with me to learn more about it.

PS: A big reason I write is to meet people so feel free to say Hi! on Linkedin here or follow my Instagram here, as I’d love to learn more about you.
