Communication Styles
The PCSI is a tool to assess your communication style and provide pointers on how to best
communicate with others for better results.
* This inventory is not a psychological or personality tool.
* It is intended to be a self-inventory where people designate how they want to give and receive feedback and advice.
The Benefits Of The PCSI®
• It provides a short, simple snapshot of unique styles that can change over time.
• It provides a means for building rapport by flexing styles.• It gives individuals a way to interact more easily with
each other.
• It can eliminate miscommunications.• It gives you a framework for understanding people.• It fosters respect for unique differences.• IT BUILDS ON STRENGTHS, NOT WEAKNESSES.

Without awareness of what we are saying and doing, we can’t change our thinking or our behavior.
Get honest with yourself about what communication strengths you have
and what areas you want to build on.
