About

Sophie Zadeh, Behaviour Analyst and Nonverbal Communication Specialist

With a unique blend of art and science, I specialise in the fascinating and often overlooked aspects of communication and behaviour—body language, facial expression, vocal delivery, and personal presentation.

  • Looking for a unique corporate retreat venue in South West France for your team? I offer bespoke corporate team activity retreats and professional development training holidays tailored for English-speaking organisations and UK companies.

  • Sophie Zadeh is a keynote and conference speaker, expert nonverbal communication specialist, and behaviour analyst. She empowers audiences worldwide to elevate their communication skills by unlocking the secrets of body language, facial expressions, and vocal delivery. With her unique expertise and captivating presentation style, Sophie delivers science-based, engaging, and accessible talks that provide actionable insights for personal and professional success.

  • I provide expert forensic behaviour analysis to organisations and individuals, specialising in the detailed examination of nonverbal communication cues such as body language, facial expressions (including micro-expressions), voice analysis, interactive style, statement analysis, and psychophysiological behaviour.

  • Drawing on my unique experience in nonverbal communication and the arts, this course is specially designed for artists and anyone curious about the fascinating world of facial expressions.

    In this course, you’ll gain a solid foundation in the mechanisms behind facial expressions. You’ll learn how to accurately recognise, capture, and convey emotional expressions in your artwork—no matter the medium you work with.
