Make it clear, concise, and specific. You'll get the answer you want and need.” “Be super clear, concise, direct, and deliberate in your questioning and communication.” “Just because you're asking these very direct, specific, pinpointed, good questions doesn't mean you have to sound like a robot.” “If your gut feeling is saying, ‘Don't trust them,' pay attention to that gut feeling.” “Be ready to lead when you have to, and be ready to serve when you have to.” BOOK MENTIONED: Leading Leaders: How to Manage Smart, Talented, Rich, and Powerful People by Jeswald W.

Big ideas and big visions are great, but you've got to have people who know how to put them together. That's where the details come into play.” “It is so easy to go in, lose your cool, act with disrespect, yell, and squeak. A two-year-old can do that. But show me somebody who has the skill, the emotional intelligence, and the mental agility to use all of our tactics and traits—remain respectful, build that rapport, and let everything coming at you just flow right off of you.” “The art of effective communication is how you sound. Body language, your tone of voice, and your personality—all of that plays a role.” “Interrogation is just a conversation and a story. You have a conversation with an intent and an objective. You are communicating with another human being for a purpose.” “Every possible thing that comes up that can create negative thoughts—you've got to get rid of it, work through it, and move past it.” “When you're writing nonfiction, you have to keep that person in mind that you're writing to. But the easiest person to write to is your formerly stuck self, because you know that person intimately.” “Negotiation starts with a mindset, and that mindset is critical to success and getting what you want because that's what negotiation is.” “I can do it when there's nothing stopping me from doing anything. So why not?” “If you know someone's personality preferences, it's going to make your communication so much more effective.” “Your role as a leader is to create the next leader.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.thecongruencygroup.com/ https://www.sectorintell.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lena-sisco-8a31b451/  https://www.instagram.com/lenasisco11/  https://x.com/lenasisco https://www.facebook.com/lena.sisco https://www.facebook.com/lenasiscoTCG https://www.youtube.com/@therealinterrogationroom "My Secret to Breaking Terrorists: Detecting Deception & Rapport" - TEDx Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9j8iJHSCbY&t=63s  You're Lying: Secrets From an Expert Military Interrogator to Spot the Lies and Get to the Truth (https://a.co/d/1kQm5eg) Marine Scout Snipers: True Stories From U.S. Marine Corp Snipers (https://a.co/d/94OrIqW) Honest Answers: Interview and Negotiation Skills to Get to the Truth (https://a.co/d/9g5VBK5)  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen     Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen     X - https://x.com/johnhulen     LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA     EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

Lena Sisco with Scott Cluthe Author of Your Lying ! Lena wrote You're Lying! because no matter what your profession or life circumstances, you need the skills to take control of a situation, detect deception, and reveal the truth. While you probably won't ever have to interrogate a detainee who doesn't want to tell you about an upcoming terrorist attack--as Lena has--You're Lying! will help you deal with that salesperson trying to rip you off, the kid bullying your child who claims innocence, a cheating spouse, or dissembling boss. As the adage says, knowledge is power. Lena interrogated numerous members of Al Qaeda and the Taliban while stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, then taught those skills to Defense Department personnel for years afterward. Her ability to build rapport, accurately read body language, and employ effective questioning techniques led to numerous successes that saved American lives. You will also learn her easy-to-follow five-step program on how to accurately detect verbal (both spoken and written) and non-verbal deceptive tells, how to conduct an effective line of questioning, and what to do after you identify the lies we all face every day. Take the knowledge in You're Lying! and empower yourself.
