Who wouldn’t want the ability to read people like a book — whether in a meeting, during a sales process, an interview, or at the negotiation table? Steve van Aperen is a media commentator, author, behavioural analyst and executive business coach who teaches organisations around the world how to read people, detect deception, and increase profits.

Steve developed his unique four-stage process and the hugely successful ‘60 Second Profiling Technique’ to assist police in homicide investigations, including two serial killer cases. Dubbed ‘The Human Lie Detector’ by the media, he has trained intelligence agencies, homicide detectives, and Defence personnel to analyse verbal, non-verbal and paralinguistic behaviours to detect deception.

Today, Steve applies the same system globally to CEOs, executives, recruiters, sales professionals, portfolio managers and customer service teams. His training helps organisations excel at negotiation, build deeper client relationships, and dramatically increase performance and profitability.

A dynamic and highly sought-after keynote speaker, Steve has presented to Fortune 500 companies and Australia’s top 100 companies at conferences, seminars and corporate launches across Australia, Asia, Europe and the United States.

One of the best speakers we have ever had at the Harvard Club. Clubs of New York City
Steve was excellent. Without exception he was a huge success, setting the tone for a very successful day. The consistent message from the 600 delegates was the desire to hear more … they found his information and his presentation ‘fascinating and relevant’. Steve has great presence and uses his time to maximum advantage. Very fluent and professional. National Employment Services Association
Steve’s knowledge and valued insight in behavioural interviewing with our FIDS practitioners in Hong Kong and Malaysia was outstanding. I have used Steve’s training services in Singapore, Chicago, Hong Kong and Malaysia on several occasions and the feedback has was excellent. Ernst & Young
Both workshop sessions were packed, the fact that the second one was full, means that delegates from first session let everyone else know that they should attend – very good sign. Steve was great. AMP
My colleagues and our internal stakeholders found Steve’s presentation refreshingly new, interesting and thought-provoking. I don’t think this style of presentation is out much in the market so the new-ness of it was great to see. When asked to rate the usefulness of Steve’s presentation for their work, 90% of respondents rated it four or five out of five. Congratulations. Commonwealth Bank
Steve van Aperen is a man who studies the way people answer questions and at the same time their body language. He makes his living out of sorting truth from deception. Mike Munro, Journalist and former 60 Minutes reporter
