Description

If we meet a foreigner, as Dutch people we tend to automatically speak the other person's language. Subconsciously, we do this with the aim that the other person understands us better and so we communicate more effectively. As a trading nation, we have internalised this trait for many hundreds of years.
However when a rational person meets an intuitive person, it is not at all obvious that one of the two automatically speaks the "emotional" language of the other. The only thing they notice is that communication is not so smooth. Why that is, they are usually not aware of. So it would be helpful if one of the two could see what emotional drives the other. Is this rational, emotional or intuitive? In this example we simplify the model: everyone is a mix of the three emotions; however, there is one that is usually dominant.

Nice story you will say but how can I see which of these emotions is the driving sense of someone? This is where non-verbal communication can help you. The face tells us a lot about this, but so does the way you walk. Language is also different.

PURPOSE
Course participants learn to see by means of non-verbal communication what someone's emotional drive is. With this different way of looking at things, they learn to take this into account, adjust their behaviour slightly and appreciate what the person is saying. We do this with photos, videos, DVD and an interactive PC training
