SEVEN STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH LIARS

1. Act quickly.  Time is the liar's friend

2. Develop skepticism.  Always begin with empathy, but, tender hearts are vulnerable to lies

3. Be interested.  Expose liars by asking questions like: How do you know?  Who did you speak with?  When did that happen?  Who was there?  What happened next?

4. Include others.  Don't talk with liars alone, have witnesses

5. Validate by communicating with email

6. Protect yourself.  Don't lie but don't tell everything either.  Vulnerability is stupid when dealing with liars

7. Confront liars you love.  I know, we are supposed to love everyone.  Don't lie to yourself, you don't
