Description

People - friends, family members, colleagues, salespeople - lie to us all the time. Daily, hourly, constantly. None of us is immune and all of us are victims. According to studies by several different researchers, most of us encounter nearly 200 lies a day. Now we can do something about it. "Liespotting" links three disciplines - facial recognition training, interrogation training and a comprehensive survey of research in the field - into a specialized body of information developed specifically to help business leaders detect deception and get the information they need to successfully conduct their most important interactions and transactions. Some of the nation's leading business executives have learned to use these methods to root out lies in high stakes situations.
