About this programme

Calibrate Inc.'s certification in deception detection equips coaches with science-based methods to identify deceptive behavior and navigate complex interpersonal dynamics. Designed by Pamela Meyer, a recognized expert in the field, the program combines research on the psychology of deception with practical observation and interviewing techniques. The curriculum teaches coaches to establish baseline behaviors, recognize behavioral cues and microexpressions, and apply a structured four-step PREP interviewing approach alongside eight expert questions for extracting truthful information. A core focus is building and maintaining trust while reducing client resistance through psychological rapport and cooperation strategies. The self-paced format includes video modules, animations, reflective exercises, and real-world case studies that develop coaches' ability to discern honest from deceptive narratives in coaching conversations.
