ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Susan Ibitz is a HUMAN BEHAVIOR HACKER who was told by her professor that she would never succeed as a Human Profiler. He said this because Susan is highly dyslexic (almost functionally dyslexic). She’s also a Jewish, Latina who speaks with a strong accent and poor English grammar. He said the good news was that she was “kind of hot” and suggested she focus on getting the right kind of husband.
Today Susan is a speaker, trainer, and internationally recognized human behavior expert who is on a mission to help people unlock the science behind human behavior to get more of what they want at work and in life. Known as the “Human Behavior Hacker,” & ” Human Polygraph” Susan teaches people how to read nonverbal human behavior—body language, face reading, and micro-expressions—and how to use it to decode other people’s hidden emotions, intentions, and future behavior.
She helps people and brands use these same skills to improve sales, team productivity, employee engagement, and more. Some of the organizations she and her team have worked with are PayPal, Target, and S.C. Johnson.
She’s been trained by the CIA, the FBI, the U.S. Military, the Israeli Military, and is a certified Level III Hostage Negotiator. She also worked as a political consultant for 18 years.
