🎙️ "The Human Behavior Hacker: Susan Ibitz on Pattern Recognition, Hidden Agendas, and the Truth We Don't Want Seen"

🔥 What if someone could see the parts of you that you've spent years polishing, managing, or hiding… in less than 30 seconds?

📘 Description

Most leaders believe they can read a room. Most believe their success sharpened their instincts. Most believe they can spot the liar, the manipulator, or the hidden agenda. .

That confidence is often the most dangerous delusion in the room.

.

Today's guest doesn't just read people, she sees through them.

.

Susan Ibitz, known globally as "The Human Behavior Hacker," is a former political influence consultant, profiler, and civilian hostage negotiator. She is the author of Irrational Humans and founder of the Human Behavior Lab, where she teaches others to decode patterns most people will never notice.

.

But what makes her truly unsettling to leaders is this: She didn't learn to read humans from textbooks. She learned to survive.

.

Her dyslexia and Asperger's didn't hold her back; they rewired her into a world-class pattern recognizer who can see emotional seams and identity fractures long before her clients feel them.

.

In this gripping conversation, Susan and Dov tear down the myths of communication, curiosity, and "reading people." They expose why most leaders are blind to their own filters, how first impressions have nothing to do with you, and why ambivalent people are the most dangerous ones in the room.

.

And somewhere in the middle of this… you'll hear something you've never heard on a leadership podcast:

. A master profiler explaining why she genuinely doesn't like people…(well a certain kind of people)

.

This episode will rewire the way you see communication, power, and the emotional logic driving every room you walk into.
