The Process Communication Model

How to individualise both your management and your communication to get results.

Your professionalism as a Manager or a Salesperson relies both upon your technical expertise and your aptitude to communicate effectively with your collaborators and your partners. PROCESS COMMUNICATION is a tool for communication and understanding personality: It was developed in the beginning of the 70s by Dr Taibi KAHLER, Ph.D. PROCESS COMMUNICATION has numerous applications in management, recruitment, training, sales, negotiation, team building, etc. The basis of this model was awarded the Eric BERNE scientific prize in 1975. The diversity of use of the model ranges from NASA for the recruitment of its astronauts, to Bill Clinton to build his speeches. PROCESS COMMUNICATION is an invaluable asset for all executives wishing to understand and manage their interpersonal communication effectively.

2. Basic principles of PROCESS COMMUNICATION

Process Communication is a tool for communication and understanding personality.

PROCESS COMMUNICATION rests upon 2 basic principles:

For the effectiveness of the message The way we say something is more important than what we say. Process & Content.

Although each individual is unique, we all have 6 characteristics in common. Each of us has a specific combination of these characteristics and knowing this gives us precise tools, to enable us: to develop positive communication skills.

The Process Communication seminar is built around the study of participants Personal Profile Inventory (PPI) which is received confidentially during the seminar. The PPI gives an objective and non-judgemental image of your personality and psychological needs. With Process Communication, you get a valuable knowledge of your own dynamic as well as the ability to assess those of your staff.
