I chose Michael Reddington as a key speaker for a retreat for the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO). I was immediately interested in Mike's ability to break down videos of testimony, pause at key points, and point out body language and verbal cues that suggest the speaker could be lying. But Mike's insights go far beyond simple lie detection. His presentation to YPO Pittsburgh gave us techniques to immediately improve our ability to listen, negotiate, persuade and communicate. The skills Mike teaches can be applied to business, teamwork, and even family life. The take-away value was so great that our retreat was awarded the Best Retreat Award by YPO for the East Central United States.

Michael did a great job customizing a presentation for our group. He was able to intertwine interrogation, business and research to drive home his lessons for connecting with people. A room full of CEO's left the presentation with new tools and perspectives to improve their communication with their business partners and families.

The Unspoken Truth Workshop which Michael Reddington led was, without a doubt, one of the most interesting, inspirational and practical education experiences of my life. Mike took a large amount of deeply technical material and over two and a half days broke it down so that it was both exciting and accessible. It completely changed my view of "interrogation" and I learnt many things which I have implemented to better manage and grow my business. For any leader, I cannot recommend attending this workshop strongly enough!

After attending Michael's course in Dublin I immediately decided to work with him to bring his training to London. Michael worked with me to update and customize his presentation based on my feedback and the audience I wanted to attract. During the seminar he was able to connect with, entertain and educate executives from across the U.K., Europe and the United States. There is no doubt every attendee took away new ideas to apply in their own businesses. On our very strict evaluation Mike scored a 92% (extremely valuable & educational). I recommend Mike and his course very highly, he is a pleasure to work with and very professional.

Our organization has had the privilege to host a seminar and workshop with Michael Reddington. Mike is an extremely intelligent and talented person and brings his enthusiasm to his presentations. The courses and seminars are not only engaging and interesting but bring extreme value to business owners / managers or any group that wants to achieve a better understanding of the topic of human behavior and deception. I personally would encourage anyone to attend any workshop Mike conducts. The value we received was many times the investment. Please do not hesitate to contact me with additional questions.

I had the pleasure of attending a three day workshop led by Michael in 2013. The course content was of very high standard and offered significant learning opportunities to all present. I was so impressed with the content and delivery that I asked Mike to provide a training course to executives from around the world in Ireland In 2014. The feedback was outstanding against other similar peer courses and we received top decile numerical rankings in our feedback. Mike has a wonderful ability to provide content in an engaging and relaxed manner. I have no hesitation in recommending Mike as a top notch training resource in his specialised field.

I've attended three of Mike's training sessions and I've taken away valuable insights every time. He does a great job applying what he's accomplished in the interrogation room to what I experience running my business every day. I prepare differently, evaluate people differently and communicate more effectively with my team and it has made a significant difference for me.

I am confident that this training will pay a significant role in the continued growth of our company. Thank you for being part of our team!!

The Leadership Academy Michael developed for Coca-Cola Bottling Company United is by far the best I've ever seen. Our emerging leaders have learned and applied the competencies you've taught. We have always known the secret ingredient for our success is our people. Developing their talents as future leaders is the best investment we can make to our organization. Thank you for your significant contribution!

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for a job well done guiding myself and the rest of the group through the three day course in Boston. The love and passion for your work during that time spoke for itself. Your experiences, methods and theories are truly admirable. The course had a tremendous impact on my career and has taken my thought process to a whole new level
