“What drives you to make the decisions you make? There’s intent. There’s motivation. There’s your personality…that profile is what helps you decide to do or say something.” – Lena Sisco

Lena Sisco, interrogator, joins the show to discuss ways to accurately detect lies, gain rapport, and ultimately get the truth from the people you interact with daily.

KEY TOPICS

• Reverse engineering conversations, so you get the answers you’re looking for.
• Cognitive overload and how it can reveal the truth.
• Denying, justifying, and qualifying lies – you may not even know you’re lying to yourself!
• The ingredients of rapport. The foundation of building trusting relationships.
