Summary

Stop Accusing People of Lying. There’s a Better Way to Get the Truth. What if I told you that most "gotcha" moments in a negotiation are actually failures of leadership? In this episode, Mike Reddington, a certified forensic interviewer and author of The Disciplined Listening Method, reveals why you should never accuse someone of lying—even when you know they are. Mike has spent his career in high-stakes environments where evidence was often nonexistent, and he learned that a lie isn't an insult; it’s actually intelligence in disguise. If you want to stop being a "shallow strategist" and start earning the truth, this masterclass on disciplined listening is for you.
