How to Speak So Your Engineers, Designers, and Stakeholders Actually Hear You
Product management isn’t about writing specs — it’s about getting alignment across people who think, speak, and work very differently.
Engineers want clarity. Designers want meaning. Stakeholders want confidence.
When communication breaks down, sprints slow, trust erodes, and decisions stall.
In this highly interactive 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn how to communicate in a way that actually lands — using the Process Communication Model (PCM), a psychology-based framework trusted by NASA, Pixar, and Fortune 500 companies.
Rather than generic “soft skills,” PCM gives you a practical system to decode communication styles, recognize stress signals early, and adapt your message in real time — especially under pressure.
You’ll work through real product scenarios, decode difficult stakeholders, and practice conversations you’re currently struggling with.
What You’ll Learn & Practice
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
Identify the 6 PCM communication styles (Thinker, Persister, Harmonizer, Imaginer, Rebel, Promoter) in yourself and others
Recognize early stress signals before they turn into conflict or disengagement
Adapt how you communicate with engineers, designers, executives, and customers — without overexplaining or overselling
Decode a real communication challenge you’re facing right now (manager, teammate, or stakeholder)
Use simple self-regulation techniques to stay grounded and clear in high-pressure meetings
