Staying safe before your first date with Dr. Cliff Lansley
Join me for a conversation with Dr. Cliff Lansley, a body language analyst, on how to stay safe when meeting new people. Many of us rely on intuition when something feels off about others. In this episode, we will discuss subconscious signals that indicate deception or malintent. With extensive experience in military, intelligence, and law enforcement, where accurate judgement is crucial, his approaches are reliable. He also serves as a scientific adviser for the Discovery Channel's real crime documentaries, "Faking It." You can find his full bio below. Our discussion will cover strategies to use before, during, and after meeting someone face-to-face, ensuring you remain cautious without deterring genuine people.

Cliff Lansley PhD in Emotional
Role: EIA Group - Director.
Skills: Emotional Intelligence,
Deception Detection, Casual Questioning Strategies.
His first honours degree was in Education(Psychology) with the University of Manchester which he did post-experience whilst employed as a lecturer in leadership and management in higher education, following ten years in the industry. Seven years later he then returned to the private sector with a government research grant to develop competent-based approaches and diagnostic tools for leaders, managers and HR professionals under one of the companies he founded, named Development Processes Group plc (DPG), which is still leading its field in the UK as a multi-million-pound operation, with Cliff as Chairman, Director and a major Shareholder.
He retired as CEO of DPG in 2008, at the age of forty-nine to follow his passion in Emotional Intelligence(EI), driven to join the research community to help convince leaders, police, teachers, social workers, etc. that EI is not a ‘soft skill’, but a key differentiator between competent and excellence. He has since sold DPG to enable a merger, making the joint enterprise the UK market leader in the HR business sector. He is motivated to draw on his experience as a successful business leader, an educationalist and a psychologist to leverage good scientific research and make a contribution to the excellent work being done by Mayer, Salovey, Caruso, Bar-On, Goleman, etc., to bring a new EI taxonomy and diagnostic methodology for EI that can stand up to the conflict and critiques across the existing models.
He co-founded the Emotional Intelligence Academy in 2008 and partnered with Dr Paul Ekman on a ten year project to help Dr Ekman’s research reach all continents in eight languages as training courses.
