Talking comes naturally to some people, while others prove to be good listeners. And yet, having engaged, effective interactions takes effort. Practicing PCM — short for Process Communication Model® — teaches us how to adapt what we say, do, and show to make the most of every conversation and situation. Along the way, we learn how to leverage our differences to make a difference at work, at home, and in the world.

A not-so-secret decoder

This is how it works

PCM is the premier tool for decoding human interactions. Practicing PCM teaches us how to observe our behaviors, which in turn lets us identify the communication strengths and preferences of ourselves and others. This understanding is based on differentiating six personality types that we all have within us: Thinker, Persister, Rebel, Promoter, Harmonizer, and Imaginer.  A unique combination of the six types takes center stage in everyone. You can practice PCM in four steps:

01. Be aware of your personality

Understanding your preferences means knowing what energizes you and what ticks you off.

02. Recognize what other people do, say, and show

These observations inform you about people’s preferences and the best way to connect.

03. Adapt your communication style

In order to make a genuine connection that feels good for both of you.

04. Build happier relationships

With everyday interactions, at work and at home, every day.
