It is with professional pleasure that I provide a testimonial regarding Steve van Aperen.
In my capacity as an Account Manager with the Australian Institute of Management (Vic/Tas) and then following in my own Broking business for training professionals, I contracted Steve on a number of occasions between 2002 and present time.
Both in a training/facilitator capacity and as an event speaker he captured the participants/audience instantly. Steve imparted knowledge and skills that could immediately be taken back to the professional work place or used in personal lives. The subject matter was within the realms of ‘detecting truthfulness, assessing honesty in the spoken word, body language and honing skills around gut intuition’. I readily referred him to other professionals including the Professional Customer Service Association of Australia headed by Tricia Olsen. Tricia and Steve implemented a series of national business breakfasts with Steve as guest speaker. All the breakfasts were hugely successful touching on what individuals instinctively know, but lack the confidence to implement both in their professional and personal lives. I would happily refer Steve at any time.

Dear Steve,
Your presentation to the CEO Clubs of New York City was amazingly informative and entertaining. It is not often that we have a speaker that can keep command of the room the way you did today at the Harvard Club. The buzz in the room was that you were one of the best speakers we have ever had. Please consider visiting with us again any time you are in the New York City area - I can't thank you and Renee enough for adding tremendous value to the club and it's members.

“Steve is an extremely interesting individual…He is an expert in the non-verbal cues to look for when people may be saying one thing but thinking something else. He specializes in reading and analysing distress signals and facial expressions. I would certainly love to have him by my side in the business world, where his powers of observation would be a fantastic resource.”

“On behalf of Australia Post, I would like to thank you for presenting at our Platinum Forum on 27 March, 2009. Your talk on “Detecting Fraud by Analysing Behaviour” was a great hit with our guests. I particularly enjoyed the way you involved the group throughout the presentation. The Platinum Forum has been running in Sydney for several years and, thanks to your interesting session, looks destined for the same success in WA”.

Steve’s training was exceptional. It was one of the best courses that I have attended.

Fantastic course Steve. Your presentation and energy is superb.

“Steve was excellent. Without exception he was a huge success, setting the tone for a very successful day. The consistent message from the 600 delegates was the desire to hear more...they found his information and his presentation 'fascinating and relevant'. Steve has great presence and uses his time to maximum advantage. Very fluent and professional.”

“The delivery was fantastic and so was all of Steve’s content.”

“The three key highlights for me were; Steve’s energy and enthusiasm, the interesting topic and the audience interaction.”

“Very interesting and thought provoking.”

Excellent presentation, informative and interesting.

Both workshop sessions were packed, the fact that the second one was full, means that delegates from first session let everyone else know that they should attend - very good sign. Steve was great.

My colleagues and our internal stakeholders found Steve's presentation refreshingly new, interesting and thought-provoking. I don't think this style of presentation is out much in the market so the new-ness of it was great to see. When asked to rate the usefulness of Steve's presentation for their work, 90% of respondents rated it four or five out of five. Congratulations.

Steve was very entertaining he held the audience interest through out the presentation.

Steve was informative, interesting and funny. He involves his audience in the presentation so they feel part of it.

Very engaging. Loved the fact that Steve included audience participation. The feedback from the delegates was excellent. Was their favorite speaker!

The 2010 conference of the Bursars’ Association of New South Wales, Back to School, was regarded as an outstanding success. On behalf of the members of the Association, I sincerely thank you for presenting at our conference. The attendees regarded your contribution as one of the highlights. You assisted greatly in the achievement of the overall success of the event and your worlds of wisdom were very much valued by all

Hello Steve.....I watched one of your dvd's. It was amazing. My problem is that I’m now analyzing everyone when they speak to me...haha. Brilliant work.

I have used Steve's services to great effect and I have attended at a training seminar run by Steve regarding "Behavioural Interviewing, Detecting Deception & Reading Body Language". As an investigator over very many years one tends to get the idea that one has seen and done it all. This seminar really opened my eyes to recognise exactly what I was seeing. This has added a significant dimension to my skill set that can only benefit those that I provide a service to. I thoroughly recommend anyone that has a need to interview people, be they PI's, HR Specialists, Auditors, Personnel Recruiters or whatever, go to one of Steve's seminars, you won't regret it."

Hi Steve,
Thanks again for a very informative and useful seminar yesterday. I'm looking forward to putting it all into practice in the coming days.

Steve,
I just wanted to say thanks for a brilliant course last week. I took so much out of the day and with such a small group it was really interactive and fun.

Hi Steve,
Thanks again for your time and expertise over the 2 days. The team found it interesting, enjoyable and valuable. The trick is to now deploy the tools. We are reconvening in 2 weeks to discuss everyone's use of the techniques to ensure some focus! Thanks.

Have you heard of Seve Van Aperen? Well, if you haven’t yet, you will very soon. Steve is right up there as one of the best key note speakers that I have had the privilege of working with. As an expert in human behaviour, reading body language and detecting deception Steve has some amazing stories to share and is really entertaining for audiences of any size. What I love most about Steve is his ability to share his technical knowledge in a way that’s engaging, memorable and very funny - I’m talking laugh-out-loud, sore cheeks and watering eyes kind of funny. I have no doubt that this is the reason that Steve has become well known all over the globe. Congratulations Steve on your incredible journey.
