Results

The former operations manager wrote in her testimonial to us:

“As I am sure you hear all the time, PCM has revolutionized not only our work with clients, but also the way we are able to work with each other, in this ‘pressure cooker’ environment. Hearing you describe the distress behaviours of the different personality types was almost comical, in that it so accurately reflected the dramas that we have seen play out under our roof for many years…I have seen relationships totally turn around after these conversations….Having the tools to show us how to meet the needs of our people, means that they are happier, do better work and more likely to stick around.”
