03 / The founder
Depth of practice. Discipline of judgment.
Jonathan Choufany founded Humans Decoded to bring specialist communication training into real-world professional settings.
His background includes body-language education, micro-expression training, instructional practice, public speaking and coaching.
The method is grounded in careful observation, contextual thinking and effective questioning—not claims that a gesture or expression can prove someone is lying.
Our philosophy
Read what is observable. Question what is assumed. Communicate with intention.
