Deception costs businesses over $994 Billion per year, approximately 7% of annual revenue. In the presence of deception, transaction costs are substantially increased for human resources, research and development, due diligence, and management.

Deception detection is a 21st-century skill that can dramatically improve one’s professional and personal effectiveness. In this course on using interview skills to spot lies and get to the truth, participants learn to identify motivations for deception as they discover methods to spot deception and elicit the truth by carefully analyzing narrative statements. They also learn to  profile their interview partner and use a simple but powerful framework for connecting deeply and coaxing the truth from any subject.

Interviewing and Getting to the Truth introduces a four-step framework for eliciting information from the most challenging subjects and outlines eight expert questions that can be successfully applied to reach the truth in any interview, negotiation, or conversation.

THE CLASS: The second course in the two-part series on Deception Detection, Interviewing and Getting to the Truth, this video-driven class is the most advanced course of its kind that offers a systematic framework for getting to the truth. This course includes 22 engaging videos, case studies, and a detailed workbook. 

Once you sign up, you will have access to:

  • Six course modules, containing videos, animations, reflections, and case studies

You never know when you’re going to be on the wrong end of a lie, and I’m so grateful to know that I am prepared for those moments when they inevitably come.”

Pamela Meyer (Harvard MBA, Certified Fraud Examiner) is the world’s leading expert of detecting deception. Pamela’s TED talk, “How to Spot a Liar,” is a worldwide sensation. With over 30 million views and translated into more than 40 languages, it is the 13th most-watched TED talk of all time. The talk is based on her bestselling book, Liespotting: Proven Techniques to Detect Deception. Pamela brings years of knowledge – previously found only in the intelligence community, police training academies, and universities – to the effort to uncover the truth and build trust. She synthesizes her C-Suite business savvy with the critical deception detection skills she’s accumulated: advanced interviewing and interrogation techniques; facial micro-expression reading; body language interpretation; statement analysis; facial microexpression analysis, and behavior elicitation techniques. These techniques were developed by our national espionage, intelligence, security, and law enforcement agencies over the last 75 years. They were refined by the top psychologists and psychiatrists at leading American research universities and think tanks. The result is a specialized body of information developed specifically to help accountants, business executives, managers, investment professionals, social workers, human resources specialists, lawyers, insurance professionals, corporate officers, and others detect deception and get the information they need to successfully conduct their most important interactions/transactions and build trust. Pamela’s work and her method for detecting deception have been featured in Business Week, The Atlantic, Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, The New York Post, The Washington Post, Forbes, The Huffington Post, ABC News, Portfolio, Fox Radio, Cosmopolitan, and numerous syndicated radio and television programs. Pamela is the founder and CEO of Calibrate, in Washington, D.C. which trains businesses on fraud detection, deception detection, inside threat mitigation, and security awareness. Pamela holds an MBA from Harvard, a master’s degree in Public Policy from Claremont Graduate School, and is a Certified Fraud Examiner.
