Today, he is a business negotiation coach, non-verbal communication expert and media commentator, as well as a non-fiction writer and Keynote Speaker.
With more than 30 years of experience managing challenging interactions and situations, he is now using his skills to coach businesses in sales and negotiation, constructive interaction, the correct interpretation of non-verbal communication and how to use it in different types of encounters effectively, and managing challenging encounters.
Sami’s coaching and presentations are consistently praised for their tangibility and immediate usefulness. Anyone who is involved with other people and wants to gain new insights into the interaction between people and their peers will benefit greatly from the coachings. They will deepen their understanding of the factors and mechanics that drive human behavior.
“I have always been interested in the human mind and how people behave and communicate in different situations. Over the years, I have come to understand that police and business elements and solutions in difficult encounters and operational situations are the same. There is no difference between negotiating in an undercover operation with an organized criminal organization, or whether you are negotiating a corporate partnership agreement. People act in a certain way and they reveal their thoughts and feelings through non-verbal communication in a certain way, regardless of their background.”
