Lying

People differ in how and when they lie, deceive, or betray others.  Sometimes a company culture can encourage such deception, say by stressing bottom-line thinking at the expense of integrity or by being too unforgiving when errors occur.  Learn how to detect and deal with deception in your workplace and in your life.
This program focuses on when, how, and why people lie, and how to deal with lying and deception in your personal life or in your organization. The program can include experiential exercises, role playing, simulation games, small group discussion, problem solving, experiences on detecting and responding to lies, and more. It also includes a Lie-Q test, so participants can discover how they rate in lying compared to others.  Each program is customized for your group with special handouts and other materials.
