Episode 94-Susan Ibitz-The Human Behavior Hacker

One of the things I love most about doing this podcast is that I get to meet really interesting people and interview them. My guest in this episode takes the meaning of “interesting” to a whole new level. Susan Ibitz is a face reading profiler who  describes herself as a Human Behavior Hacker.  Through her company, Human Behavior Lab, Susan has trained, consulted, and worked with lawyers, politicians, law enforcement, managers, sales teams, and literally anyone who wants to be more effective in reading body language. She was trained in profiling by the CIA, FBI, U.S Military, and international militaries.  She is certified as a Level III Hostage Negotiator and has many other certifications to her name.  Susan’s mission is to reach, teach, and train others to unlock the science behind human behavior.  She has worked with police departments, trial lawyers, sales teams, governments, and corporations as well as many other institutions.  She helps her clients utilize profiling skills to increase sales, team productivity, employee engagement, team building, strategy, effective communication, marketing, and growth.  She is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, English, and most importantly, body language, micro-expressions,  linguistic forensic analysis, and face reading with a mask or without. She has worked in the U.S., South America, Mexico, Europe, and the Caribbean.  In this episode, Susan talks about her work and offers us some practical tips that we can use to be more effective in and out of the courtroom as well as in leadership roles and in marketing our legal services.
