Adaptive Communication

A proven program for optimizing every interaction.


The behavioral communication methodology known as the Process Communication Model® (PCM) can be used in every aspect of life, with every person with whom you interact. PCM combines a scientifically-validated theory of personality structure and development with proven techniques for improving your communication and management skills.

PCM begins with learning about yourself. You'll discover your preferred perceptual language and communication style, along with the motivational needs, behaviors and other traits uniquely associated with that language and style. You then learn how these characteristics differ in other people and how to identify them through observation. We'll teach you to adapt your language and speaking style for each person with whom you interact to develop rapport, communicate effectively, predict and influence behavior, and get your own motivational needs met, reducing dysfunction and negative conflict in your life and helping others to do the same for themselves.

How Process Communication began...

Taibi

While at Purdue University in the early 1970's, Dr. Taibi Kahler made a series of remarkable, award-winning discoveries.

Dr. Kahler discovered a process involved in verbal communication - specific speech patterns that were sequential, measurable and predictable. He found that by listening for these patterns, interactions could be identified, objectively, literally second-by-second, as being either productive (communication) or non-productive (miscommunication).

Dr. Kahler also discovered that by listening to how someone was speaking, he could predict how they would behave under different types and levels of stress. Later research showed that each of the speech and behavior patterns also was uniquely correlated to a way of perceiving the world, a perceptual language, a communication style, a set of positive character traits, one or more motivational needs, as well as other characteristics. Dr. Kahler concluded that each mutually exclusive set of characteristics and behaviors constituted a unique personality type, all of which are found in each of us and one of which is predominant. He developed the Personality Pattern Inventory, an online assessment that determines the order and strength of each personality type within an individual's personality structure.

From these foundations, Dr. Kahler built the Process Communication Model to equip people to transform their communication and relationships for the better.
