The lie-detection skills Ms. Meyer has mastered reveal the deception epidemic plaguing our society. Studies show that you encounter an average of 10-200 lies per day. As a result, Ms. Meyer believes that everything a CIA operative knows about deception, you should know too. Used by business executives to identify the truth in high-stakes situations, the techniques she teaches are pertinent to managers, investment professionals, human resources specialists, lawyers, insurance professionals, and corporate officers  that must make hard decisions based on critical facts. After a session with Pamela Meyer, you’ll be armed with sophisticated tools for better negotiating, selling, protecting, and interviewing.

In her keynote speeches, Pamela Meyer provides her audience with detailed scientific findings on which personality types lie, how deception is expressed in e-mail, on the phone, and in person, and how to detect deception through body language. She also teaches statement analysis, interviewing techniques, and interrogation, and negotiation strategy, using rich, entertaining real-life examples.  She is known for keeping her audience laughing while they learn, and she presents a path toward trust that emphasizes integrity, maturity, honesty.
