Detecting Deception Courses

One Day Course in Detecting Deception

This intermediate course teaches those attending the basics in how to recognise the tell-tale signs of deception. People often lie by omission rather than commission. What people don't say is often more important than what they do say! Steve demonstrates how we use language, paralinguistic styles, changes in tenses and body language to deceive others and how to recognise when people are engaging in such behaviours.
