Communication training (verbal or non-verbal)
Verbal communication: Have you always dreamed of becoming a great speaker? This training is for you! During this training, you will learn the techniques to speak in front of an audience with ease and clarity, keeping your personality and without overplaying. Non-verbal communication: When we communicate, our non-verbal language can make up 70% of the message we spend. Our attitude and our actions are therefore essential for a good handover and understanding of our ideas. During this training, we will teach you the most effective non-verbal communication techniques to improve your interpersonal relationships.

Lie detection - reading emotions and seeing through lies
We have all said that we have been lied to sometimes... and we sometimes tell a white lie ourselves. Please note that there are no warnings and even those that you see in your computer information. Eleven courses are now available in the Emotion Detector! So I can't learn to play, but I also proved my debate and presentation technology course (a television course), communication, singing, improvisation, "physical acting", detection, hypnosis, management, or even more! The natural view on the gel: I go further, I will study the course, I go further. Register for one of several lessons, after which you can also take the entire course. "I'm not upset because you lied to me, I'm upset because I can't believe you from now on." Friedrich Nietzsche Learning to see through lies & emotions We've all been there: someone has lied to us in the past or hid the truth for so long that he or she has hurt or otherwise harmed us. So we know that the light is gone and we are talking about the corner, we know that we are going to see our colleagues who are on the eleventh of their reputation. Thanks to our lie in emotion detection course, you will learn to see much better when someone is lying to you... and what he or she might really be thinking. However, this course is much more than that: you learn to see and interpret emotions, often through small signals. Now we don't have all the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), the system that we used in the series 'Lie to Me', but we can also learn about it and it's possible to listen to it and listen to it in the intonation use. It is important that we test the lessons of someone like Professor Ekman - the man who invented FACS and the fiction series was renamed Lightman - and other techniques against the scientific evidence about what works and what does not. Neither detail nor system immerses even the universal in the same way it works. This means that we have new lessons in which we can learn more about our courses. From the study of the world to the emotions we have in mind, we have to take into account the growing theory of all the courses we have learned, but the words we have learned are very practical in nature and are the ones that have been studied in the past. Do I want to learn to recognize emotions very quickly and see what is going on behind someone's facade? Then be sure to register for your two courses!

Italian ↔ English conversation with chatty Italian living in Belgium
Want to impress your partner with newly discovered romantic Italian compliments? Want to showcase your wine knowledge to your in-laws during a family dinner? Want to be able to order a caffellatte macchiato con latte di soia without having your waiter scoff at you while traveling around Italy? Then starting a conversation with me will be your answer! I will guide you through the amenities of the Italian language, coming from someone who grew up with it. I am a Bioprocess Engineer, currently employed in Gent at an industrial biotech company. I studied and lived (mostly) in Italy until I was 20 years old, then I moved to Copenhagen to continue my education. I am an Italian native speaker, and I use English in my daily personal and working life. Talking to someone is the best way you can practice new languages. When I was a teenager I moved to Canada for six months to learn English, and even if I struggled at the beginning, pushing myself to have crooked conversation with friends was the perfect way to start mastering the language. We can talk about current topics, family, hobbies and the like. If you have specific requirements or interests, we can indeed explore those. Let me know, a presto!
