"transforming potential into success"

Personal Coaching Styles Inventory (PCSI)

Think of a time when...

• you experienced frustration when trying to talk to another person
• they just didn't seem to understand what you were trying to say, no matter how hard you tried

Now, think of a time when...

• you really connected with another person and amazing things happened
• you built off each other's ideas
• the conversation flowed easily
• you achieved the result you were hoping for

There is a reason for this is we all have preferences for the way we communicate.
The PCSI is an inventory which assess your communication style and provides pointers on how to communicate best with others for better results.

It is not a psychological/personality tool.  It is intended to be a self-inventory where people designate how they want to give and receive feedback and advice.  It is best used as a snapshot of how individuals can have effective communication in relationships.  While similar to other four quadrant styles it has the distinction of being beneficial to coaches. 

It was designed by coaches for coaches by Dr. Lee Smith and Dr. Jeannine Sandstrom for CoachWorks International.  It has been used since 1996 with thousands of individuals.  Drs. Smith and Sandstrom saw a need for understanding and mastery of interaction styles from the coaching context.
