Dr Peter Collett

Peter is a psychologist and a former Oxford don. For many years he was a member of staff at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford University, where he taught and did research on a range of topics, including body language, culture, management style and television audiences. 

Peter has written a number of books and presented several programmes on television. He has spoken at numerous conferences and events, and he has provided consultancy and training workshops to a broad range of organisations. 

Peter is widely acknowledged to be a world expert on communication. The Guardian called him a “body language guru” and the Mail on Sunday described him as “a grand master of the secret code of fleeting gestures, signs and expressions that give us all away.” Reviewing one of Peter’s books, Sir Peter Ustinov wrote that he “displays razor-sharp observation ... There can hardly be a more astute and mischievous handbook than Peter Collett’s.”
