d.  Program Summary:  That old saying: “actions speak louder than words” speaks volumes about what this one-hour training telecast has to offer about detecting deception.  By learning how to read a person’s body language and facial expressions, you will gain new insight about what a person is actually saying and most importantly, what he or she is NOT saying. 

We’re human and we can’t control some of our emotions. That’s a really good thing when you’re trying to figure out if someone is telling the truth. Our bodies give us away. Learn how body language, eye assessing movements, and our nervous system speak for us.

Also, viewers will learn how to be a good listener and what types of questions work best for certain situations.

This telecast has something to offer anyone – from a parent to a police officer - who wants to learn how to tell if somebody is lying or telling the truth.

e.  Program Objectives:

·         Learn about body language that gives us away

·         Find out what causes body language and other responses

·         Learn how to listen

·         Find out what questions to ask

·         See how to avoid common pitfalls
