BIOGRAPHY

STEVEN DAVID LAMPLEY

STEVEN DAVID LAMPLEY is a former Special Victims Unit (SVU) detective (ret.), bestselling author, and behavioral analyst who brings decades of real-world investigative experience into the executive and corporate arena. His distinguished career spans over two decades. Over the course of his law enforcement career, he conducted complex investigations involving violent crime, exploitation, and high-stakes interviews where the ability to detect deception, assess credibility, and recognize concealed intent was critical. Those years on the front lines refined his expertise in human behavior under pressure, where the truth is often hidden behind confidence, fear, or manipulation.

Today, Lampley applies those same investigative principles to help executive leaders, organizations, and decision-makers recognize deception, reduce risk, and make more informed leadership decisions.

His work translates real-world behavioral analysis into practical strategies that can be immediately applied in hiring, internal investigations, negotiations, and high-consequence business interactions.

In addition to his investigative career, Lampley is an internationally recognized speaker and media contributor and a frequent guest on Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Steven is a former writer for Psychology Today, where he wrote about human behavior, credibility, and the psychological dynamics behind deception. He previously hosted a primetime radio program on NBC News affiliate KCAA Radio in Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix, and other radio stations, further expanding his role as a trusted voice on behavioral analysis and decision-making.

As a bestselling author and speaker, Lampley now delivers executive-level programs focused on Behavioral Intelligence, Deception Detection, and Risk Mitigation. His presentations equip leaders with the tools to help identify subtle warning signs, avoid costly mistakes, and protect their organizations from internal and external threats. He frequently lectures to colleges and universities worldwide.

His work is grounded not in theory, but in decades of real-world experience where the ability to distinguish truth from deception carried real and immediate consequences. Today, he brings that same level of clarity and insight to executive leadership, helping those responsible for critical decisions lead with confidence, certainty, and awareness.

The Behavioral Intelligence Program

This program is a high-impact behavioral intelligence training designed to help professionals recognize and respond to deception, manipulation, and concealed intent in real-world interactions.

Built from decades of experience in law enforcement, undercover investigative work, and behavioral analysis, the program teaches participants how to identify subtle verbal and nonverbal indicators that reveal when someone is withholding information or being untruthful.

Rather than relying on guesswork or intuition, attendees learn structured, evidence-based observation methods that sharpen perception, strengthen judgment, and reduce vulnerability to manipulation.

This program has been presented to large audiences, including standing-room-only attendees at CrimeCon and viewers familiar with my appearances on Crime Stories withy Nancy Grace.

Adapted for corporate, executive, and professional environments, the training focuses on practical application, helping leaders improve hiring decisions, detect internal risk, strengthen negotiations, and enhance overall situational awareness.

Participants leave with actionable skills they can use immediately to protect their organizations, make more confident decisions, and operate with a heightened level of behavioral insight.

WHY THIS PROGRAM?

Executives and corporate managers are expected to make high-consequence decisions involving hiring, promotions, internal concerns, negotiations, and organizational trust, yet they are rarely trained to recognize the behavioral indicators that reveal deception, concealed risk, or credibility issues.

This program provides leaders with practical, experience-based tools to identify subtle verbal and behavioral cues that most people overlook.

By understanding how deception presents itself in professional environments, executives gain a decisive advantage: the ability to evaluate credibility more accurately, ask more effective questions, and make informed decisions based on behavioral insight rather than assumption.

As a result, executives and managers become more effective at protecting their organizations from costly hiring mistakes, internal misconduct, reputational harm, and preventable operational risk.

The program strengthens leadership awareness, improves judgment in high-stakes interactions, and increases confidence in decision-making across all levels of leadership.

Leaders leave with skills they can immediately apply, enhancing their ability to recognize risk early, safeguard organizational integrity, and lead with greater certainty in an environment where the cost of being wrong can be significant.
