Gavin Stone

Born in Central England, Gavin Stone rapidly became accustomed to moving houses & schools up and down the country in his childhood years. Little did he realize that the lack of roots would be such a blessing later on in life. The ability to adapt to new environments, people and places without sentimental attachment would become an attribute that would take him far, very far indeed!

Stone is a former civil servant for the British Ministry of Defense and previous freelance contractor in the Security and Intelligence industry.

Stone spent 13 years in front line operational deployment, in a multitude of arenas. Stone’s covert activities required him to utilize the full range of Security & Intelligence Tradecraft.

Stone subsequently trained operatives preparing to work in the field. Simultaneously he delivered advanced training to seasoned operatives requiring elevated skills and exposure to new cutting edge techniques.

Stone’s extensive knowledge and levels of experience include: Close Protection, Private Investigations, Intelligence Gathering through HUMINT, Physical Penetration & Perimeter Testing, Personal Security, Covert Surveillance and Security Consulting.

Stone has numerous Nationally and Internationally recognized Qualifications and Certificates, as well as training in areas such as Psychology, Close Protection, Teaching, Self Defense Instructor, Statement Analysis, Body Language, Range Conducting Officer and many more, as well as Government Training, Stone has a broad spectrum of expertise in his arsenal.

When Stone has spare time, you can find him diving into a number of other disciplines. When he’s not keeping his skills sharpened down the shooting range, he’s constantly learning.

Skill fade is not just physical. No matter how good somebody is at something, once they stop, skill fade begins. The longer it’s left the more the skills dissipate.

To help to avoid this, Stone is constantly refreshing his skills and knowledge, as well as learning more as he goes. Keeping his mind sharp is one of his top priorities, so Stone makes a point of constantly learning new skills like, Handwriting analysis, Graphology, Facial feature reading for profiling and neuroscience studies.

When he’s not shooting or doing some other Adrenalin fueled activity, Gavin Stone doesn’t stop. He’s a qualified Hypnotist, Mind Control and NLP Practitioner and has helped many people in a variety of areas in their lives. He now mostly uses this particular skill set for entertainment and helping close friends and family, not for work. Stone continues to study in this area however and is constantly working to sharpen his skills and improve his abilities. As he makes continual progress, who knows where it might lead? Watch this space!

Paul Ekman

Paul Ekman received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Adelphi University (1958) after a one-year internship at the Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute, University of California San Francisco (UCSF). He served two years as First Lieutenant and chief psychologist at Fort Dix, New Jersey, then returned to Langley Porter (UCSF) where he became professor of psychology in the UCSF medical school in 1972, retiring in 2004. Ekman’s research started in the late 1950’s, focusing on hand movements and gesture. It wasn’t until 1965 that he became interested in facial expression and emotion after receiving a grant from the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the Department of Defense to examine cross-cultural studies of nonverbal behavior. In 1967 and 1968, Ekman traveled to Papua New Guinea (photograph at right) to further study nonverbal behavior of the Fore people, an isolated, Stone Age culture located in the South East Highlands. His research provided the strongest evidence to date that Darwin, not Margaret Mead, was correct in claiming facial expressions are universal. Ekman then developed, with W. Friesen, the first and only comprehensive tool for objectively measuring facial movement the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), published in 1978, and revised in 2003 with J. Hager as third author. FACS remains the gold standard for identifying any movement the face can make, free of interpretive inferences. Ekman then teamed with Terry Sejnowski to show that neural networks could be used to have computer based facial measurements. That work still continues under the company Emotient for which Dr. Ekman serves as an Advisory Board member. Emotient is the leading authority in facial expression analysis. Their software translates facial expressions into actionable information, thereby enabling companies to develop emotion-aware technologies and to create new levels of customer engagement, research, and analysis.

Pamela Barnum

Pamela Barnum – Trust Strategist & Body Language Expert

Former Undercover Police Officer and Federal Prosecuting Attorney

Imagine what it would be like to live as a different person with a different name, identity, and background…

… for months at a time, you’re pretending to be a drug dealer, and your success and safety depends on building trust and detecting deception with some of the most dangerous people you could ever imagine.

Undercover Police Officer

That’s precisely what Pamela Barnum did for years working undercover in the Drug Enforcement Section. She learned real-world techniques for building trust and interpreting body language. Unfortunately, understanding body language didn’t help with her dance moves. In case you’re wondering, she still can’t dance.

Federal Prosecuting Attorney

While working full-time as an undercover police officer, Pamela completed law school and accepted a position as a federal prosecuting attorney. She spent countless hours in the courtroom, perfecting her techniques in deception detection.

Observing witnesses, judges, and juries for years helped Pamela decode the clues of deception. Of course, being the mom of a teenager has also helped 😉

Corporate Negotiations

In graduate school, Pamela studied corporate negotiations and applied those skills to the nonverbal communication techniques she learned over two decades while working in the criminal justice system.

Pamela has applied her experience and knowledge to teach others how to detect deception and interpret nonverbals in their personal and professional lives.

Speaker

Pamela has spoken in front of audiences ranging from 50 to 12,000 in the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Her recent TEDx Talk, “What Drug Dealers Taught Me About Trust” was viewed more than 200,000 times in the first six months.
