Author of Seeing People Through: Unleash Your Leadership Potential with the Process Communication Model®

Leadership Keynote Speaker Dr. Nate Regier | Next Element (next-element.com)
About the Book: Assessments like MBTI, DiSC, and StrengthsFinder are popular for understanding personality. Unfortunately, the results often isolate people in neat boxes rather than build bridges across their differences. The Process Communication Model (PCM), finds common ground between individuals. According to PCM, we all have a feeler, a thinker, a believer, a dreamer, a rebel, and a promoter within us; it’s the proportions that vary. We default to communicating with our strongest part, when we should be communicating using the part we have most in common with others.
