Our relationships, our work, money management, the whole basis of our life is built on trust. Trust is based on the ability and sincerity  to deliver on promises and keep agreements.

Your ability to know when others are deceiving you, to evaluate the credibility of what people say is a critical skill.

This program will develop your skill in recognising and responding to  the emotions and thinking behind  deception. It brings forty years of research to the thinking and emotions involved in truthfulness and deception, and is essential for anyone who wants and needs to be able to evaluate  trust.

Four day international certification program

All our actions are based on our thinking and our emotions, so understanding truthfulness and deception involves understand the thinking and emotions of others.
Do they  make sense?
Are they congruent?

The program covers the psychological model behind truth and lies, so you can identify ‘hotspots’ – where there is a strain and  incongruity between the words, the body language and the emotions because of possible deception.

You will learn to read emotions and possible deceit through the five communication channels:

• Facial expression (Including micro expressions where the emotions are shown on the face for fractions of a second.)
• Voice tone  (How voice tone can change when lying.)
• Verbal style (The characteristic pattern of how people speak naturally.)
• Verbal content (Words spoken including slips of the tongue.)
• Body language (How body language reflects thinking and emotion)

There is a good deal of misinformation and confusion about these, especially body language.
This course has only clear, researched and proven science. The course is fast, fun and interactive and extremely practical.

You will learn and practice the skills in a safe environment with a Paul Ekman approved trainer.

There is a graded international certificate on successful completion of the program.
