The Process Communication Model

Over the past week, both Abe and I had a chance to learn the Process Communication Model–a very intriguing tool developed to enhance the effectiveness of communication. The training was taught by Nate Regier of Next Element Consulting.

The Process Communication Model (PCM) acknowledges the idea that different kinds of personalities respond to different styles of communication, and provides the tools necessary to identify those personalities and deliver your message in a way that recipient will respond to.

As a skeptic of most personality models, I went into the training with a relatively closed mind.  But through the course of the week I became increasingly convinced that this model has much to offer for practical application, whether or not you believe all of the tenants set forth (I should say that at this point I have no reason not to agree with everything that was taught!).

One of the most intriguing aspects of the model is its ability to predict behavior. It was amazing to witness everyone in the room light up when one person would start to explain scenarios from their personal or professional lives and the rest of the participants would be able to essentially finish the story for them, having never met any of the characters involved!

I would recommend working with Nate Regier of Next Element Consulting to anyone who is interested in improving their communication and relationship management skills.
