Deception EVERYWHERE!
Posted on 05/23/11
UGH. I am just so saddened by the latest rounds of celebrity conundrums....I mean sure, the antics of folks like Charlie Sheen, Arnold Schwatzenegger and Lance Armstrong certainly give me plenty to discuss, analyze and disect.
However, I do think that the proliferation of infidelity, mental illness and drug abuse that appears to be permeating our world is crossing over into our everyday lives. At least, judging by the lack of empty seats at my Detecting Deception classes, lies and dishonesty are problems for people everywhere - whether celebrity or not.
In fact, its a trend that I've noticed over the course of several years. At nearly every appearence, lecture or the like, I am constantly asked to expound upon how to detect deception. Whether being asked by a wife who suspects her husband of cheating, a manager that worries his employees are pilfering valuable company resources, or a parent concerned their child is on a path to destruction - I am always moved by their concern and their heartache. Which is why I've not only developed a series of classes focusing on this timely topic - but I am also writing a new book that will delve deep into the skills and knowledge YOU need to detect deception - before its too late.
It's clear we are all in need of these valuable skills - its amazing how often we miss the silent cues, the minute details or the evidence that is piling up. There are many ways in which you can protect your heart, your health or your finances - it just takes the desire and the willingness to hone your communnication skills - and put that knowledge to work for you.
Stay tuned in the comng months. As we begin our investigations - we will be seeking case studies. We need examples of how ordinary people overcame the deception in thier lives - and I'd be honored to share your trials and triumphs with my readers.
Perhaps the story you share could help another person from traveling that same path.
