Here you can find a list of the conferences I give at the moment:
Breaking Pinocchio: Detecting Liars At The Workplace
On average, a person lies three times during a ten minute conversation; yet only 15 percent of employees are caught in a lie at the office. With the Lehman Brothers and Bernard Madoff scandals, and the massive fraud by the executives of Enron, it is imperative to learn proven and concrete techniques to spotting deception and lies of the business world.
Nicolas Fradet, an ex-professional poker player, best-selling author and the head of his own company for the past ten years, will guide you through a liar’s the most common signals. Whether it is via gestures, facial expressions, the tone of the voice or by word choice, Nicolas will show you his “Barracuda Formula”, a step-by-step guide for detecting lies face to face, over the phone or even in emails.
Following Nicolas’s presentation, you will never look at other people the same way ever again, and you will be better equipped to detect lies of the many “Pinocchios” around you.
Stand Out And Own The Room
Every time we communicate with others, our underlying goal is to influence them. Whether it is because we want to sell them on our product or service, or simply to sell them on our idea, advice or opinion, the way we interact with them, and most importantly how others perceive us can mean the difference between being just another grain in the sand, or standing out like a diamond in the rough.
In this presentation, Nicolas goes through all the gestures, facial expressions and other non-verbal displays that we should all have in order to get the respect and trust of people around us. Most importantly, he defines all the displays we should remove from our repertoire as we communicate with our colleagues, clients or business partners.
Following Nicolas’s presentation, you will hold the key to long lasting business relationships, based on trust and respect, and you will truly stand out and own the room.
