Steve Van Aperen

How can you tell when someone isn't being straight with you? That question drives Steve Van Aperen's presentations on investigative interviewing, behaviour and assessing credibility. His background is police work, and he trained in the US in polygraph examination and interviewing methods. At a conference he gets the audience involved, using examples from investigations to show what people give away through their words and their body language. He has also consulted for and trained government and corporate organisations, and he's appeared in the media talking about interviewing and deception. It suits any audience whose work depends on reading people accurately. He's based in Melbourne.
