Learn how to turn any conversation into a good one

Communicating effectively with everyone around you is one of the most difficult tasks there is. In the PCM Fundamentals Seminar, you’ll learn to decipher the logic behind human behavior and build more sustainable relationships.

  • By approaching the needs of the person you're talking to without making any assumptions
  • With the six types of perception that allow you to reach everyone, 
  • To experience the best in yourself and others more quickly and with greater joy

After the introductory seminar…

… get to know yourself for the first time

Using your personal PCM profile, you can view yourself from the perspective of your strengths and needs. With this insight, you’ll see everyday situations in a new light and be able to make decisions that align with what you truly need and what’s good for you.

… make it easier to build genuine connections

Thanks to your newfound self-awareness, you’re able to understand the behavior and motivations of others as well. You recognize what the person you’re talking to needs at that moment and know exactly how to respond.

… know how you and others can reduce stress

You recognize the signs of miscommunication early on and know how to address them. This means you’re able to interact successfully, even (or especially) when the person you’re talking to is testing your patience.

Your questions,
our answers

The key difference between the Process Communication Model® (PCM) and DISC is that DISC primarily captures superficially observable behavior—that is, the way a person comes across to others. PCM, on the other hand, goes much deeper: It decodes the underlying personality architecture, individual psychological needs, and predictable patterns of distress.

How deeply you delve into the Process Communication Model® (PCM) depends on your goals. For everyday life, the PCM 1 – Fundamentals Seminar (3 to 4 days) lays the foundation, allowing you to decipher your personality architecture. The PCM 2 – Advanced Seminar (2 to 3 days) builds on this for advanced conflict management. If you’d like to apply PCM professionally, certification as a PCM Coach takes 3 months, while certification as a certified trainer takes 8 months. What makes PCM special, however, is that while the theory is concise, its true impact becomes evident from the very first day through daily application in the here and now.

PCM makes a clear distinction between productive stress and destructive distress. Your personal profile shows you exactly what your individual and predictable stress patterns are when under pressure.

With this toolkit, you’ll be able to recognize early warning signs right away, in the here and now. You’ll learn to positively meet your basic psychological needs in a timely manner, actively break destructive stress cycles, and remain composed and capable of taking action even in times of crisis.
