Spy the Lie

The Art of Honest Listening

Truth and trust go hand in hand. In Spy the Lie, former CIA officers Philip Houston, Michael Floyd & Susan Carnicero share how to detect deception - not through intimidation, but by listening carefully and asking smart questions.

The real takeaway isn’t about catching people out; it’s about learning to observe without bias. When leaders stay curious rather than reactive, people feel safer to be honest, and issues surface early instead of exploding later.

“Assume nothing. Believe nobody. Challenge everything.”

In business and leadership, integrity begins with awareness. Spotting inconsistencies helps you understand, not accuse. It’s about creating a culture where truth is valued and honesty rewarded.
