Education: Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire: Business Advice from a Body-Language Expert
Presented by Traci Brown

Deception is rampant in the business world today, says body-language expert Traci Brown. In a tough negotiating environment, meeting planners and suppliers are more apt to bend the truth or omit important facts to seal a deal or skirt a problem. In this fast-paced and participatory session, Brown reveals the verbal and physical clues that subconsciously coincide with lying.

Participants will learn: 

  • How to identify the telltale signs that someone is lying
  • Clever ways to elegantly uncover the truth
  • Ways to appear more trustworthy in your own business dealings
  • How to avoid becoming a victim
