I really enjoyed this video. I think that the older we get, the easier it is to spot a liar. Everyone lies as kids and if you look back on it, it is so easy for parents to know we were lying. They have the experience that we didn't. It is important to focus on different mannerisms to spot if someone is lying or not. I wish that lying would leave our culture but we should just accept that it isn't. This video was very informational when teaching us how to spot a liar.

I learned a lot from this video. I had no idea all the similarities that can arise in lies. She mentions there is qualifying speech, like distancing yourself from this issue, or being extremely firm in your answers. She mentioned how some liars are happy that they get away with things, which was kind of scary. What I found the most strange is how lying comes so natural. Even babies can start to lie, or the gorilla that she mentioned told a lie. I would definitely want to learn more about this topic, I found it very interesting.

There's so much I want to say about this video. Of course there are flaws in what she said but that's only because flaws exist within us. Not everyone behaves the same way, and not every behavior means the same thing to everyone. But I think these are very useful hints to spot for when really wanting the truth from someone. I've become a lot better at spotting lies from reading or watching past examples similar to this. Some people really are good at hiding the truth, or maybe with some people you become a lot more blinded as to what the truth is because you want to believe the lie.

We have all told a lie in our lifetime if we admit it or not, even if you think it's a "little white lie" it's still a lie. I try to be the most honest person I can be but I'm guilty I'm telling white lies such as "Yeah I'm about to leave my house right now" when I'm running late and know it won't be another five minutes until I will actually leave or even when someone asks how I'm doing and just saying "good how about you?" Even when your having a horrible day. I don't agree with this video by the way that she says you can spot a lier by their body language, the way they speak, etc because we are all different and we all have different habits. These could be used as tools but I believe they will cause more problems then they will solve.

I enjoyed this video! I was always a fan of that "Lie to Me" show that she spake of, so this was right up my alley. Lying is such a large problem in our society today. Not only is it in business, but it is also quite rampant within our personal lives and relationships. Lying can be the thing that completely destroys your reputation and trustworthiness, which is something that is extremely hard to gain back. I don't know about anyone else, but I am going to start studying these different techniques to see if I can become more aware of any deception and lying around me. I think an effective leader is someone who can spot a lie, but also strategically acknowledge that lie, while gaining the truth in the process. This was a very cool video and I will certainly share it with my dad.

Even though this video is pretty long in length, I think that it has a lot of interesting material to offer. Lying has become such a common habit in our society that it is truly sad. As children, we are taught to never lie, but many of us see our parents telling little white lies and as we get older we begin to tell those little white lies. Eventually, those little lies turn into big lies and we find ourselves stuck in a huge mess. I like that Pamela points out that everyone is a liar. At one point in your life, you have lied - if not more than once. Managers need to know how to spot liars. If you can spot them in an interview, then the company cannot hire them and avoid the situation all together. Once they are in the company, lying can become contagious and managers can find themselves in very bad situations.

It a copperative act, that is interesting. It has been around for a long long time. People waste more time lying than doing what they should be doing. I am terrible at knowing when these actions mean they are lying to you. I like this video it has given some great advice.

In this video, Pamela points out that everyone is a liar. At one point in our lives we have told a lie whether it be a little white lie or a legit lie. Once we start with the little lies they turn into big lies and cause more damage than telling the truth. I think it is important to be truthful in the workplace. People will respect one another more when they know they are being told the truth. It is hard to gain back trust when you have lied to someone.

It was interesting to see the different percentages of how many people lie in different situations. Sadly but true everyone lies, sometimes for good reason and other times for not good reason. I like the concept that she gave on how to spot a liar. I have a pretty good intuition on determining if someone is lying to me.

Lying is a part of our culture that we can't really control. It's inevitable. From the time we were young, we were taught how to lie. We lie everyday, especially when it comes to job hunting. When an interviewer asks us a question, we fudge the answer in a way to get them to like the answer. We tell them it is something that we are interested in, even it isn't remotely close to what we are interested in. Lying is a part of our culture that will probably never go away. It's just who we are.

What i took away from this video is she said, "managing your lies is what you need to learn to do". This means know hen and when not to lie to someone. You may need to tell people a few white lie to keep them happy, and focused sot he job will get done on time. This happens all the time in the business world.

This was an informative video about how to tell when someone is lying to you. Everyone lies, it is the human nature to lie to get ourselves out of different situations. We should not lie, but sometimes it is hard to tell the truth, you may be lying to protect someone, or even to keep a child in belief of Santa Clause.

This video was really interesting. I have to admit, I will lie almost without thinking sometimes. Not always big ones, but if my mom asks me if I did a certain chore or something else like that, sometimes I will automatically say yes I did it and then try to finish it before she comes home. Anyway, I feel like it’s important that managers and employees can tell if their coworkers are lying. However, I feel like it’s more important to be able to tell if someone is telling the truth. If someone is genuine with you, it will show in their body language and speech patterns. Being able to tell if someone is being genuine with you will lead to healthy and trustworthy relationships weather that be professional or personal. I really liked that she gave examples of how to spot if someone is lying and if someone is telling the truth. I believe it will be helpful in spotting someone who is honest and someone who is not. Again, great video!

Although I know it is important to be able to spot a liar and I bet it will become more important in my future career, I really would rather take people for who they are. I'd rather leave the deception finding to detectives and be able to look at people for the positive side of them. I totally agree with the speaker that everyone tells lies every single day. I also thought her examples and ways to spot a liar were interesting; the subject of the video is just not something I'm really interested in.

Everyone is a liar. There are all kinds of liars in the world. Everyone wants to be something they're not, so we lie to make us seem more how we would like to be. Some are white lies, and others are more serious. People lie more to strangers than coworkers, extroverts lie more than introverts, and people in a relationship more than single people. We are against lying, but covertly for it. People have been lying for a long time. We begin lying as babies. There are ways to spot liars. When people are over determined in their denial, they will use formal language and distance themselves through their words. They also give too much detail and repeat the question. You can also spot a liar by looking at peoples body language. Liars look people in the eyes and stiffen their upper body. By looking at someone's eyes, you can tell if they are really smiling. Honest people will be cooperative and helpful to find the truth. Deceptive people will give too much detail, will not make eye contact, and will give a story in strict chronological order. This can be used in the workplace when dealing with employees and coworkers. If you suspect an employee is lying about anything, you can use some of these tips to catch them in a lie.
