Summary of the course

In other words, when you meet someone for the first time, you need to be on top of your game from the very beginning. The key is to build rapport. Rapport is the lubricant for social communication. When rapport is established, communication barriers go down and you will have the opportunity to make a lasting connection. This practice is used actively by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to get interviewees to open up and human intelligence (HUMINT) can be collected! Don't fall for those tricks! Throughout this course you will understand their tactics, so that you can use them to YOUR advantage!  

Who should enrol?
You need to build rapport for any effective negotiation; this crash course teaches you the most important step of any negotiation - BUILDING RAPPORT.  This finding is popularised by Chris Voss author of 'Never split the Difference'. 
Whether you're meeting new connections, clients, class mates, team members or potential employers, I've put together a framework - based on scientific evidence - to help you put your best foot forward and make a positive and lasting first impression.

Why should you enrol?
This course goes well beyond the frequently heard tips: smile, be on time, put your phone away, look the other person in the eye, give a firm handshake and show genuine interest. In this course you will learn to BUILD RAPPORT , with human intelligence tactics, in the most challenging situation - the dreaded FIRST IMPRESSON. 

I’m fully convinced of the benefits, but I don’t see why I should learn all this from you.
True, let me explain by giving you an overview of my experience:
- Parttime PhD Candidate (7 years - present). I read the science, you'll get the knowledge! What more do you want? 
- Chief Information Security Officer (present). Managing Security, Privacy and Quality professionals. Responsible for implementing and maintaining a well balanced organisational risk posture;
- Software quality consultant (6,5 years). I've advised many managers of large / small IT projects on various software related aspects. 
- Unlike most other courses, you may actually claim 1 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) after finishing this course completely

Besides experience as a consultant I hold the following certifications:

  • International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB)

  • Certified Secure Software Lifecycle professional (CSSLP)

  • Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)

  • Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA)

  • Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP / Europe)

  • Certified SCRUM Master

  • Togaf Foundation

  • ISO 27001 Lead Auditor

  • ISO 27001 Lead Implementer

  • Leading Scaled Agile Framework

  • Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)

  • PRINCE 2 foundation

Keep learning about Cyber Security, increase HUMINT to prevent Ransomware thought by a CISO!

The course material is well-researched and backed by scientific principles, providing practical techniques to enhance one's ability to read and influence others during crucial first encounters.

By Oanh Phuong PHAM on 11/14/2021

L'alternance entre le contenu d'apprentissage et le quiz est très bien, cela me fait mieux comprendre ce que l'enseignant essaie de transmettre. Cependant je n'apprécie pas le cours. Le contenu est détaillé mais le mode de communication est difficile à comprendre

By Andrés Francisco Garay on 10/1/2021

Muy buen curso, para saber los tips más importantes a tener en cuenta en cualquier tipo de relación personal.

By Alexandre Souza on 9/16/2018

Great course, but the sound of videos is very very bad. Sound is very low.

By Anonymized User on 9/11/2017

Soerin has a pleasant tone of voice throughout the course. Although the lectures are not consistent in volume, he can still be heard. The lecture videos are high quality and help to deliver the content of this course. I like that the instructor has included some additional sources of information to further and broaden one's understanding of several of the topics being spoken about.

By Pamela Call Johnson on 8/27/2017

Nice course. The sound varies quite a bit so I had to keep adjusting it, but there are some very good points well organized and well presented.

By Saikat Mandal Tanu on 8/22/2017

His sound is not good quality

By Paweł Plichta on 8/19/2017

Cons: Sound, too quiet... You could add more practical examples. Pros: Short consice videos. I like it. Thank you.
