"Great framework for understanding why conflict in the workplace may occur, and how to diffuse it through understanding of personality types, their motivators, and stressors."

PCM NUGGET

Eat a healthy breakfast.  Get enough sleep.  Exercise.  Read a good book.  Self-care is about filling your own "tank" (physically, emotionally, spiritually) in healthy ways so that you can be fully available to others.  In PCM, this means getting your psychological needs met on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.  Doing this allows your "elevator" to move more freely so you can experience the wonderful gifts in all the other floors of your personality condominium as well as appreciate those gifts in other people.

As PCM Trainers, this is something we can not express enough. Look again at the personal and professional action plan in the back of your profile - and be intentional in getting your psychological needs met in healthy ways. If you went through a PCM seminar with a co-worker, spouse, or friend - find someone that you can be accountable to in an open, persistent and resourceful way, and set some goals based on meeting your psychological needs, each and every day. - JR & NR

NE CORNER

So many exciting things are brewing here at NE.  The NE-OS (Next Element Outcomes System) is nearing the end of validity studies and is standing tall against all measures.  This self-efficacy self-measurement is the first of it's kind to measure these scales in a variety of contexts.  Interested in becoming licensed? Call us!

Jeff and Jamie enjoyed a great day recently facilitating a group of Wichita State University Executive MBA students on the Bethel Discovery Adventure Course.  Based on their comments at the conclusion of the day, their participants enjoyed it too...

• “Excellent, I would highly recommend!”
• “Great course, I highly recommend. Great thought-provoking questions, I will recommend to others.”
• “Best course of this type I’ve done in the last 10 years.”
• “Great experience. I’d highly recommend it.”
• “Wonderful job, thank you for a great experience.”
• “Great course and facilitator!”

Fall weather is also looking great.  Book your group for a fun, insightful, learning experience on the Bethel Discovery Adventure Course!

More development is in the works for Process Man, and what's that I hear...?  A PCM App for my smart phone?  Intrigued?  Keep it tuned right here for updates!!

WHITE PAPER

People say that it feels inauthentic to adjust their communication and leadership style in order to connect with and motivate others. They say that it’s more important to stay true to oneself than to be shifty and fickle. In this White Paper, "Authenticity and Process Communication," Jeff shares how each of us has all six personality types within us, and therefore we can be “true to ourselves” and access any part of our personality, even though this may require energy and feel inauthentic at times. While we may have less energy in the less-visited floors of our personality condominium, they are no less a part of who we are.
