“Your professional development session on nonverbal communication was probably the best PD I have attended in my time as a teacher in WA. Thank you for the skills you have taught me that will optimise my performance as a teacher.”
Sophie Zadeh, Nonverbal Communication Specialist and Body Language Expert, Perth, Australia

My professional development training is designed and delivered using proven neuroscience and psychology principles that optimise engagement and learning outcomes.

I collaborate with organisations to provide interactive training workshops focused on communication skills, behaviour analysis, and emotional intelligence development.

Specialising in the fascinating, yet often overlooked areas of nonverbal communication, including body language, facial expression, and vocal delivery, my sessions offer fresh insights and practical skills. These captivating topics make for impactful training that equips teams with unique knowledge to enhance workplace communication and collaboration.

“I highly recommend Sophie as a trainer and speaker because she will hook your audience and will keep them entertained in addition to providing them with a wealth of knowledge that they will be able to apply immediately to their business and personal lives.”
“Thank you so much for coming in on Monday and sharing with our staff. I am very sorry I had to duck out after about 30 minutes but was engrossed myself and upset I had to leave. I have had nothing but very positive feedback from those who attended – one Head of Department popped his head in to “see what it was about” for 15 minutes and ended up staying for the whole presentation!”
“Sophie has that rare blend of professionalism and strategic focus combined with best practice delivery within Training.”
“Sophie has an empathetic style, tailoring the training to my skills and knowledge, never making me feel overwhelmed or anxious. I walked away from the training feeling competent and ready to face my new role within the organisation. From my experience of 20 plus years of sales, I highly recommend Sophie as one of the few trainers who has been able to change her style to meet the needs of the individual and has given me new skills and renewed confidence in a high end sales role.”
“Sophie was able to deliver complex and a high volume of information in an easy to understand format.”
“Sophie provided an expert understanding of body language and offered skills to present our ‘best self’ through her workshop. She took the time to understand our context and tailored her program to best meet the needs of our organisation. Personally, I apply the knowledge I gained through Sophie’s presentation on a daily basis—it has been invaluable. I highly recommend Sophie’s work to anyone who wants to grow as a person and a leader and has a desire to create positive team environments.”
“We all thoroughly enjoyed the session and some of the key points that Sophie mentioned really resonated with the team as they continue to mention them. I consider myself a communications expert, unlike the target audience, and can’t believe how much I took away from the session.”
“Sophie is an outstanding trainer! She is an out of the box thinker and uses her creativity to make her training fun and engaging which makes it more memorable and meaningful.”
