Deception Detection Techniques

Pamela Barnum

Liar, liar, pants on fire—from devastated relationships to bad business deals, we have all been burned by deception one way or the other. But have we really gained any significant skills in protecting ourselves from dishonesty and betrayal? We guess, trust our gut, or stay on the defensive just to be sure, but does this actually help us navigate our personal and professional life successfully?

It’s time to gain some real savvy in this area! Join Pamela as she breaks down the verbal and non-verbal communication revealing deception and truthfulness. Acquire tried and tested tools used by law enforcement and other professionals, where a split second judgement can mean life or death.

Stop being a gullible victim. Stop wondering if your kids or spouse (or potential spouse) are just feeding you a line. Gain confidence in reading the intentions of the person across the table during negotiations, leading to a better outcome for your organization. That boss or co-worker you’ve suspicioned has been stringing you along with empty promises or lying to cover themselves—wonder no more!

The applications are endless, but the tools are the same. If you need better deception detecting skills, join Pamela in this one of a kind workshop!

Don’t Balance. BOUNCE!

Trisha Miltimore

Can you guess what Trisha’s number one conversation is with every single one of her female clients?

 “I’m working hard and trying to excel in every area of my life, and I’m exhausted, frustrated and living in constant struggle.”

Our determination to do it all well makes it easy to lose sight of WHO we are, and WHY we are doing it—the results are often pure chaos and a general sense of overwhelm. This in turn causes us to miss opportunities, diminishes creativity, and suffocates our personal and professional potential.

Ouch. Not what we are looking to accomplish!

In this two hour workshop Trisha will help you sort through personal self-reflections as you take the time to listen to yourself and reconnect with YOU. Your passions. Your purpose. Do you even know what success means to you? With a tad of courage this self-reflection will translate into a powerful self-realization, leaving you clear on what success is to you, based on your own expectations and priorities.

You will leave with a refined to-do list—and a solid “do-less-well” list too!

If you are looking to cut through the CRAZY and live your life with more intention and fulfillment, jump on board with Trisha!
