Good Quote by Pamela Meyer

“A good lie detector doesn't jump to conclusions but tries to understand the person across the table, her personality, and her motivations. Your goal as a lie spotter isn't to point the finger and say, 'You're lying' - your goal is to get to the truth.” quote by Pamela Meyer — Download Open image
