Become the Person Everyone Trusts: How to Read People Before It Costs You
Most leaders think they are good at reading people. Research says we are right about half the time. That is a coin flip, and in hiring, negotiations, and hard conversations it is an expensive one. Drawing on twenty years as an FBI counterintelligence agent and Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke teaches the system from his MasterClass: separate what you observed from what you assumed, test the read before you commit, and become the person people actually want to be honest with. This is not about spotting liars. It is about making better calls when the truth is not obvious.
Attendee Results:
- Learn the difference between observation and interpretation so a first impression does not become a bad hire or a broken deal.
- Use a simple test before acting: “What would I do if my read is wrong?”
- Spot tempo tells and incongruence without turning the room into an interrogation.
- Walk out with a repeatable method for high-stakes conversations, not a list of body-language tricks.
- Leave knowing how to build trust on purpose instead of hoping it appears.

The Code of Trust is based on the system Dreeke devised, tested, and implemented during years of field work at the highest levels of national security. Applying his system first to himself, he rose up through federal law enforcement, and then taught his system to law enforcement and military officials throughout the country, and later to private sector clients. The Code of Trust has since elevated executives to leadership, and changed the culture of entire companies, making them happier and more productive, as morale soared. Inspiring trust is not a trick, nor is it an arcane art. It’s an important, character-building endeavor that requires only a sincere desire to be helpful and sensitive, and the ambition to be more successful at work and at home. The Code of Trust is based on 5 simple principles:
