Meet Traci
She learned it winning bike races.
"Business is so much more profitable when you know the truth."
During her time on the US National Cycling Team, Traci realized her results depended on making critical decisions instantly and correctly the first time. Otherwise scarce resources were squandered and the win slipped away.
Paying attention to tiny signals let her gain critical intelligence the competition did not have. She knew the truth and used it to her advantage for victory, and she fell in love with knowing the seemingly unknowable. She is a three time US Collegiate Cycling Champion, and in her own telling, she really did use body language to win bike races.
When she realized the same strategies applied to business, both to increase sales and to decrease fraud, she adapted the skills into the keynote and training she runs today. She now equips organizations to spot lies and uncover the truth using body language, statement analysis, forensic linguistics, and behavior analysis.
When she is not speaking, she is working with private clients on investigations and sales forensics. Cases have included billion dollar sales accounts, million dollar business fraud, wrongful death, sexual assault, child abuse, municipal fraud, political violence, and murders. You have heard about these cases. She just cannot say which ones.
She lives in Boulder, Colorado, with her rocket scientist husband and her Siberian Husky.
