What can you gain from behavioral profiling?
Behavioral profiling consists of observing and analyzing the behavior, emotions, and appearance of people around us. The acquired knowledge allows us:
In the past, these competencies used to be employed by intelligent services only. Currently, such a comprehensive knowledge is advantageous both in business and daily life.
My clients include sales people, negotiators, psychologists, lawyers, expert witnesses, IT employees, research and development employees, as well as parents, schools, universities, individuals working with autistic individuals, and survivors of toxic relationships.
All these groups share one thing – the desire to see more than others do.
What is behavioral profiling
For that reason behavioral profiling has become a powerful tool. In recent years it has emerged in the security world and in the world of business – helping managers, negotiators, recruiters, IT and R&D departments to assess and understand people more effectively.

Opinions
Unique know-how delivered by a unique professional. Diana combines extensive scientific know-how with years of personal experience in the field. I highly recommend Diana as a Key Note Speaker for bigger audiences and as a trainer for small group workshops. Extreme professionalism combined with top sense of humor and creating powerful learning experience. Behavioral profiling changes the way we act in business and private life.
It was a perfect training! In the beginning, I was really sceptical. Finally, after the training, I can say, that it is a huge advantage if you are able to include your knowledge from this training in your daily work. We are always able to step in behaviour assessment traps, but with this training, I am able to recognize more of them. I am able to understand deceptive behaviour and body language better than before. Thanks for that useful knowledge. I really can recommend it, it is for sure no waste of time!
At their daily work, all law enforcement must deal with different kinds of situations and people in a quick of a second. The tool with which Diana provides you is more than significant not only because you can be able to detect lies or suspicious actions, but also because it can help you to detect vulnerable people and dangerous profiles. Her pedagogy and deep knowledge attract your attention from the very beginning and leave you the desire and even the need to go deeper into this challenging issue.
I recommend the course on behavioral profiling to everyone, regardless of profession or expertise. The training was always clear, engaging, full of surprises, easily understandable, never boring. This course improved my previous knowledge and my way to work, reaching tangible results in my profession. The knowledge of behavior recognition and body language is necessary for many fields. After the course, I think that I have the full feeling of understanding and recognizing most of them. Those skills gave me an extra value to my profession, thanks to the exclusive and involving training conducted by Diana Nowek.
In 2019 I had privilege to be part of one of Frontex’s trainings. Diana Nowek was one of the trainers and her topics were very interesting to all of us. For me, personally, part with Diana’s topic -Body language was very useful because I am using that knowledge every day in my job and also in conversation with my children. They can’t lie to me anymore about grades. I discover a few secrets of my wife, but not all ☺️. I hope that I will have the chance to be part of one of Diana’s future trainings again and to learn something new. Thank you a lot!
Diana Nowek has a very high level of professionalism. She was able to teach me the complicated
subject of behavioral recognition in a very easy way. She made me improve my skills in lie detection
and non-verbal communication, especially in the field of victim recognition and behavior of victims.
I absolutely recommend participating in her trainings in order to improve non-verbal communication
skills and behavioral analysis.
Thanks to those trainings on behavioral profiling I gained new observation and communication skills. Very professional, great atmosphere! Additionally, cultural communication workshops raise awareness and communication skills. Cultural differences are easier to recognize. Very helpful and practical in everyday work. Thank you!
The training delivered by Diana Nowek was an inspiration. Scientific quality paired with practical relevance, up-to-date and future-oriented.
