PARTNER BIRTHDAYS

ANNIVERSARIES

Ian Ferreira worked for SAPS for 12 years, then he trained in Micro and Subtle Facial Expressions using Paul Ekman’s training tools. Ian gives workshops and lectures on Nonverbal Behaviour Analysis at NMMU, among other places. This training provides one with the tools to improve emotional understanding and enhance one’s ability to read people in various situa-tions such as interviews, sales negotiations, etc. He is currently training CCTV operators to look for body language that signals that the person is about to com-mit a crime, so that they can be pre-emptive and stop this from happening.

93% of our communication takes place non-verbally, and only 7% via our words. Therefore we need to master the art of observing people, as different gestures and facial expression provide vital information about the person. These non-verbal signals are completely involuntary – from the limbic section of our brains. The lips, for example, can give you a really good idea as to what the person feels – ‘guilty lips’ or ‘I’m not going to do that lips’ or ‘contempt lips’.

We see, hear and smell via the limbic brain, which controls all our conscious and unconscious behaviour. It reacts in real time instantaneously. IT IS ALWAYS ON! This manifests our true thoughts and feelings. As the body re-acts, physiological changes occur within the body - either the heart rate in-creases or the breathing rate increases depending on the stimulation. There are five channels of ‘cognitive domain’ - emotions and spontaneity, facial expres-sion, voice, verbal style and body language. We can pick up clues in all these spheres.

Sadness or happiness are universal facial expressions. However, if people start with ‘pacifying movements’, or they start to um and ah, it’s more than likely that the person is not honest. Contrary to perceptions, if somebody is lying, they look you in the eye more than normal to see if you are falling for what they are saying! Tell-tale signs are also found in the eye movement, for exam-ple, if the eye focus is directed away from the person, so that it is as if it did not happen! The person distances himself from what happened by virtue of eye movement. It’s a pity we didn’t have an extra 2 hours to hear more!

Mahindra / Rotary Solar Lights Mahindra SA donated 90 solar power lights and a stationery pack to 90 Grade 12 pupils at the Sisonke Secondary School in KwaNobuhle, yesterday

As only 64 of the 90 learners from last year passed into Grade 12 this year, we have another 26 lights to donate to another matric class. A suitable school is being researched by S’bo Tsiu.

Thanks to Thandi Ndzombane and S’bo for their excellent speeches to the pupils!
