Terry teaches D.I.R.T. Dangerous Individual Recognition Training® In an unpredictable world, employee safety is achieved through the application of multiple strategies comprising of body language decoding, environmental awareness, & reality-based plans that deal with likely threats. 

He also served as a British Royal Marine Commando and has had extensive training in weapons and various fighting styles and now he spends his time primarily as a speaker and author. 

"I taught combative for a bunch of years after getting out of the military But I always maintain an element of what I was teaching this advice, stay away from it if you can. Because most people are not going to put in this the training necessary to be proficient, to guarantee that you can actually fight your way out of something. Use your cunning. Use your observation skills. Be aware. Look for certain things from the people in the environment that will tell you, something's out of place" Terry

Terry teaches how an understanding of human behavior and body language can provide a set of skills to recognize threats and in some cases prevent dangerous situations from happening.

Tips from Terry when going into an interaction with people. If we think about 

  • What do I expect to see?
  • What do I not expect to see? 
  • And what's missing? 

You can clue into so much that just that stands out that you might otherwise miss.


One tip that Terry often teaches women is how to recognize when someone gets inside of your personal space. This is a comfort level for each individual but when someone gets danger close it is time to take action.

The Sleuths and Terry talk a bit about some of their past cases.

Rapid blinking may be a sign of lying, but it may not be as well. It is a signal of cognitive load. That doesn't necessarily mean lying.

What often happens with police officers that are trained to some degree to have that command presence, what is that command presence? What is it about their behavior that makes us feel like they're in control and we're not, even if their hands are shaking, what is it that they do? They move less. They get still and they get still because stillness says calm and "calm" says control.

Terry and the sleuths discuss his book Not with My Daughter!: A Dad's Guide to Screening Dates and Boyfriends in a candid conversation about parenting kids who are dating.
