FAQs about my body language and communication services

1. Do I need to be a leader or public speaker to benefit from these sessions?
Not at all! I work with professionals, entrepreneurs, parents, students, job seekers, and anyone who wants to communicate with greater confidence. Whether you’re preparing for an interview, leading a team, speaking in meetings, or simply wanting to feel more confident in everyday conversations with your teenager, the sessions are tailored to your goals.

2. Will you teach me to fake body language?
No, not at all! My approach is evidence-based and focuses on helping you communicate more naturally and authentically. Rather than teaching “tricks”, I help you understand how your behaviour may be perceived and how small, genuine changes can improve your confidence, credibility, and impact. Successful communication is authentic communication.

3. How is a Signature Presence Audit™ different from communication coaching?
The Signature Presence Audit™ is a one-off, in-depth assessment that provides insight into your communication style, body language, and personal presence. If you’re looking for longer-term support and lasting behavioural change, the Communication, Presence & Confidence Programme builds on those insights through personalised coaching over three months.

4. Is this based on science?
Yes. My work draws on more than 25 years of experience alongside evidence-based research in communication, behavioural science, body language, and credibility analysis. I hold a PhD in Communication Sciences, an MSc in Behaviour Analysis, and am certified in SCAnS©, a scientifically supported behavioural analysis system developed at the University of Manchester.

5. Will I receive practical feedback?
Absolutely. Every session is designed to provide practical, personalised recommendations that you can apply immediately. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your strengths, opportunities for development, and specific strategies tailored to your personal or professional goals.

6. Will I receive practical feedback?
The topics featured here are examples. If you’re looking for a speaker on communication, body language, behaviour, parenting, credibility, influence or cross-cultural communication, I’d be delighted to discuss a talk tailored to your event.

7. Can sessions be delivered online?
Yes. The Signature Presence Audit™ and the Communication, Presence & Confidence Programme are delivered online and are available worldwide. The VIP Communication Confidence Day takes place in person in Paris.

8. Do you believe you can accurately read people’s body language?

Despite what you may have seen on television, no one is a mind reader (although wouldn’t that be fun!). Behaviour provides information, not certainty. My work isn’t about “mind reading” or spotting liars. For example, I may be able to tell that someone is feeling nervous or uncomfortable discussing a particular topic, but that doesn’t mean they’re lying. They may simply be anxious about being misunderstood or worried that they’ll be perceived as lying. Human behaviour is complex, and there is rarely a single explanation for what we observe. My role is to help you become a better observer. You’ll learn how to recognise patterns, consider context, and understand communication more effectively, so you can ask better questions, avoid jumping to conclusions, and make more informed decisions.

9. Is everything confidential?
Yes absolutely! All sessions, discussions, assessments, and written feedback are treated as strictly confidential, providing a safe space for honest conversations and personal development. Trust is fundamental to my work. As a member of professional ethics and coaching organisations, I follow strict ethical standards, and everything we discuss remains completely confidential.

10. I’m not ready to commit right now. Do you offer any lower-cost options?

Absolutely. I regularly offer affordable digital resources covering topics such as body language, communication, confidence, public speaking, and understanding behaviour. And I run special offers on a regular basis. You can also subscribe to my newsletter or follow me on social media for free tips, insights, and details of upcoming events.
