Words Tell All: Communicating in an age of deception
Presentation formats: Keynote, 1 hour, half day, full day, two day
A Hungarian proverb states “Man was given a tongue with which to speak, and words to hide his thoughts”. In public statements, interviews, and social media, deception has become a norm in communications in our digital age. With so many mediums to convey information (and misinformation) how is someone supposed to get to the truth? The language of lies is distinctly different from the language of truth. It has become vitally important for individuals from all walks of life and professionals in any field to learn the intricacies of detecting deception.
This highly interactive session uses high profile media cases to illustrate the signs of deceit. From politicians to celebrities, athletes to criminals, patterns of deception become clear when one understands the subtleties of speech. We use language not only to cloak what we don't want others to know, and even use it to convince ourselves of the lies we tell.
The key to being a highly effective communicator is having a keen sense of awareness as to what words reveal. If we can learn to understand the signals that people are sending us, we can decipher them and get to the real meaning of an issue. Most importantly, we learn to ask the right questions and listen for the right answers.
