Are you Lying To Me?

I found a great article in the July 2010 issue of Entrepreneur magazine on the tell tale signs of lying.  Pamela Meyer, a certified fraud examiner offers some of the most common cues that indicate someone may be lying.    Here are a few of them.

- Extended eye contact:  Honest people look you in the eye only 60% of the time.

- Sitting completely still, or moving just one body part (bouncing leg or waving arm)

- Lame denials and vague statements ("I don't know what you mean..." or my kid's favorite "...huh?"

- Over-talkativeness:  My older relatives used to say, "the more you talk, the more apt you are to lie."

Next week, I will share a few more of Pamela Meyer's cues.
