Our core modules
Building on the life's work of Dr Paul Ekman over the last 40 years, Paul Ekman International plc has been established to make emotional skills and deception programmes accessible across the world.
With a head office in Manchester, UK, we are building a network of quality assured Licensed Delivery Centres who will provide the training for individuals and for organisations across public, private and voluntary sectors.
Emotional Skills and Competencies (ESaC)
This three-day core programme centred on cutting edge
behavioural science, that prepares people with the knowledge,
skills and approaches to evaluate verbal and non-verbal
communications from others. It covers the knowledge, understanding,
skills and application of emotional skills. The course is designed
to help you become aware of your own emotions (before they get you
into trouble!), as well as read the true emotions in others to help
you build and maintain constructive, successful
relationships.
You will learn how to read facial expressions, plus the other four
channels that we need to pay attention to in others if we really
want to know what they are saying: body language, voice, verbal
style and the actual words spoken/written. You will practice and
hone those skills in a safe environment with a Paul Ekman Approved
Trainer. A graded Certificate of Competence will be awarded to you
on completion. >>more>>
Evaluating Truthfulness and Credibility (ETaC)
This is a four-day programme based on the same science, designed
to develop a person's ability to understand and manage their own
emotions as well as the skill to recognize emotions in others so
that they can understand and engage with them constructively. It
covers the psychological models behind truth and lies, plus the
skills required to identify 'Hotspots' - instances when the strain
between what we are thinking and what we are feeling produce
observable/audible leakage across the five channels. The course is
designed to help you to read others and evaluate the degree of
truthfulness and credibility in what they are communicating to
you.
You will learn how to read facial expressions, plus the other four
channels that we need to pay attention to in others if we really
want to know what they are saying: body language, voice, verbal
style and the actual words spoken/written. You will also learn
about memory, and how you can work out whether a statement of an
event is remembered or being constructed through scientific content
analysis. You will practice and hone those skills in a safe
environment with a Paul Ekman Approved Trainer. A graded
Certificate of Competence will be awarded to you on completion. >>more>>
