As an Intelligence Operative, identifying deception was part of my job. One wrong call could cost me my life. In fact, despite all my former training and experience, I nearly did lose my life on a couple of occasions.
Fortunately, there is significant science behind deception. Through experience, wisdom, training and lots of practice, I was able to master the art of recognizing lies and deception. My training extended far beyond listening to “gut feelings” or intuition, although both were helpful in many scenarios.
