Alan Stevens is known as the Celebrity Profiler and is Australia’s leading personality and business profiler. He is regularly featured on National TV, Radio and in the World’s Press, profiling leading politicians, TV and sports stars as well as Britain’s Royalty.

In today's interview, Alan uncovers the art of reading people; how to recognize how a person thinks before you even meet them, how to tailor your communication to connect better with people, and how to determine if someone is really who they say they are, simply looking at their social media profile.

Picture The Mentalist meets Dr. Phil meets Cal Lightman from the TV Series, Lie To Me. That is what journalists have called Alan Stevens.  

Alan's methodology has been used to profile leading politicians and celebrities, but also has been attributed to reducing bullying in schools and workplaces, increasing productivity, and enhancing communication in personal relationships at home.  

Alan has even profiled participants on the Bachelor TV Series, and has an online course on dating, where he teaches students how to identify whether someone is a predator, or they really are who they say they are.

This is fascinating stuff! Give a listen and learn the art of reading people effectively.  

Key Takeaways

1) Our facial features give away our unconscious feelings in a 5th of a second, down to 125th of a second.

2) Kids are less likely to bully other kids that they understand and connect with.

3) People who are different than you can be your greatest allies.

4) Cultural transformation begins at the top, however since leaders tend not to think that they are the problem, reframe it so they willingly want to assist you in the process. Alan explains how to do that in this interview. 

5) Facial features + facial expressions + body language + NLP = Alan Stevens' Rapid Pattern Profiling System.
