Perception is our “frame of reference” through which we experience reality, how we most easily enter relationships with others and, most often, expect others to build relationships with us.

The personality building, the Condominium, has six floors. Each floor has a different perception, a different energy. We reach each floor/perception by elevator, which when we press a certain button, unhindered through the building in I’m OK – you’re ok position.

The elevator always strives to be anchored on the first floor, where it is most comfortable because that is our Base, where our Character Strength is more pronounced.  On this floor, we use the energy that makes it easier to connect with others. The hardest thing for us is to push the button for the sixth floor, and when we get up there, we stay for a short while. The perception on that floor is the least developed.

The floors in our Personality Building are interdependent, affecting each other. Our uniqueness lies in using different energies to different extents and in our way.

And that’s why, when we say he’s a Harmonizer or a pure Persister, it’s not exactly 100% true. The sequence of floors, as well as Phase, psychological needs and motivation, way of entering stress, Drivers, and Preferred Environment – provide guidelines by which we dip the personality and its behavior.

Personality is a rich potential.

Through PCM, we become aware of our potential and how to consciously use it by exerting a positive impact on others.

How many times have you recognized that for the process of logical thinking, you need data facts, to connect them, to take a firm stance about the outcome, to stick to your beliefs, but also to come up with the best solutions by letting your imagination run wild, spontaneously and when you make a decision, to implement it, because the decision requires action,  and in the end, we wouldn’t be human if there wasn’t an emotional component, our feelings, to show compassion, empathy.

Our personality is a synergy of different potentials that we use consciously or unconsciously.

The Process Communication Model is a suitcase full of tools for getting to know yourself and others.

A PCM profile provides a wealth of information that allows us to understand ourselves, and our behavior when we are in an OK/OK living position.  It allows us to predict behaviors when entering into stress – we get out of the OK position, that is, we unconsciously put on our mask with which we hide our authentic emotion to protect ourselves from discomfort, and uncertainty.

When we adjust the perception, channel, and style to the energy on another person’s floor positively and healthily, chances are that we build healthy relationships and be happier and more successful in achieving our goals.
