Why SCAnS®

Replace body-language myths with a method.

Most “body language” tips recycle outdated myths that can cost you the truth. SCAnS® — the Six Channel Analysis System — replaces guesswork with a research-driven framework, used on the Discovery Channel’s Faking It and in real criminal, security and corporate cases worldwide.

Whether you lead investigations, close deals, hire talent, coach clients or simply want next-level people skills, SCAnS® gives you the science to read behaviour accurately and communicate with power.

  • Spot inconsistencies
  • Build rapport fast
  • Control conversations
  • Manage biases
  • Read facial cues
  • Master body language
Show me the system

One framework, six channels.

SCAnS® is used worldwide within the military, law enforcement, intelligence, business and recruitment.

  • Verbal and non-verbal

    Use all six channels together to build a complete analysis of human communication — and see what a single cue can’t tell you.

  • Statement analysis

    Weigh the authenticity of what people say by evaluating linguistic cues, speech patterns and subtle inconsistencies.

  • Conversation management

    Hone active listening, empathy and questioning so you can steer difficult conversations with confidence.

What you’ll learn

Notice what matters.
Know what to ask next.

When someone’s words and behaviour don’t seem to fit, what do you do next? SCAnS® Online gives you a structured way to notice the mismatch, consider what could explain it and ask questions that move the conversation forward.

How you’ll build the skill

Learn the approach. Practise observing. Put it into conversation.

  1. Build your foundation

    Give your judgement something solid to work with

    Learn to compare behaviour with what someone is saying, what is usual for them and what is happening around them. Explore how emotion, assumptions and context can affect the way you interpret what you see.

    Your takeaway

    A clear way to decide what deserves a closer look before drawing conclusions.

  2. Develop your observation skills

    Hear and see more of the conversation

    Learn to connect facial expressions, body movement, voice, words, interaction style and visible physical responses. Work through expert examples and practice sessions to notice changes and consider how they fit together.

    Your takeaway

    A fuller picture of how someone is communicating, with specific changes you can describe and explore.

  3. Move the conversation forward

    Turn an observation into a better question

    Learn to prepare for important conversations, build rapport and listen with your full attention. Practise exploring gaps and checking possible explanations without putting words into someone’s mouth.

    Your takeaway

    A practical approach to getting fuller answers in interviews, client meetings and difficult conversations.

  4. Bring it all together

    See the whole approach applied to a real case

    Follow a full recorded SCAnS® case analysis to see how observations are brought together and interpreted. Pause, revisit the detail and consider which points you would want to explore further.

    Your takeaway

    A worked example of the complete approach, helping you connect the individual skills you’ve been practising.

A clear path.

Learner reviews

What people say about SCAnS® training.

The workshop provides both interesting theoretical know-how and practical skills with the Six Channel Analysis System (SCAnS) for behaviour analysis in a motivating and application-oriented manner.

Elvis Benkovic

The delivery and the content was absolutely on-point and very professional. My critical take away is to not search for cues but to observe and let points of interest come naturally.

Tremaine KentSecurity Consultant

It’s difficult to find adequate training in this field, and EmotionIntell do an amazing job at providing that education and training. If anyone is interested in nonverbal communication, I highly suggest this academy!

Logan PortenierObserve

Incredibly interesting, informative and engaging. I’ve learned a lot and I’m eager to learn much more.

Jovana Oljaca

Extremely valuable and enjoyable. The content is well structured and adapted even for non-native English speakers like me.

Mladen Dryankov

Thoroughly enjoyable and interesting — I think it would benefit anyone. The instructors have a deep understanding of the subject and their passion is catching.
