Biography
Steve van Aperen is one of the most in-demand keynote & conference speakers.
After assisting police in 83 homicide investigations and 2 serial killer cases, the media gave Steve the moniker “The Human Lie Detector”.

Steve’s training helps you succeed at the negotiation table… read people like a book… cultivate deeper relationships… and dramatically increase profits.
