Steve Van Aperen

Expert on human behaviour, body language and detecting deception

Who, during a meeting, the sales process, an interview or during a negotiation wouldn’t love to have the skillsets to read people like a book and gain the upper hand or advantage in the process? Steve van Aperen is a media commentator, author, behavioural analyst and executive business coach who travels around the world teaching organisations how to read their customers, detect deception and watch profits soar.

In order to help police read people Steve developed his unique four-stage process together with his hugely successful ’60 Second Profiling Technique’. After assisting police in 68 homicide investigations and two serial killer cases, the media gave Steve the moniker ‘The Human Lie Detector’. Steve has trained intelligence agencies, homicide detectives, the Defence Security Authority and Department of Defence personnel in how to read people and detect deception by analysing verbal, non-verbal and paralinguistic behaviours.

That same process is now taught by Steve throughout the world to CEOs, business executives, recruiters, portfolio managers, the banking and finance industry, customer service reps, investigators and sales professionals to do their jobs better. A successful business is one in which individuals relate well with each other and their clients so Steve’s training helps them to succeed at the negotiation table, read people like a book, cultivate deeper relationships and dramatically increase profits.
