In this eye-opening episode of the Behavioural Intelligence series, we sit down with Ruth Fenton legal management consultant, neurodivergent mentor, and certified chaos-tamer to explore what it really means to think differently. From the misunderstood signs of ADHD and autism to the silent strategies of high masking, Ruth shares her raw, witty, and enlightening perspective on living and thriving with neurodivergence in a neurotypical world.

We unpack why traditional interviews disadvantage divergent minds, why stimming is a misunderstood superpower, and how being brutally honest isn’t rude—it’s efficient. If you want to sharpen your behavioural lens and understand the 'why' behind 'odd' workplace interactions, this is the episode that changes your view for good.

Forget what you’ve been sold about "deception detection" and reading folded arms.

In this episode, we go deep into the evolution of investigative interviewing, from the coercive confessions of the past to the empathy-driven peace models that actually work. With stories spanning from the Birmingham Six to the Central Park Five, we break down the shift from force to conversation, from ego to ethics.

Featuring first-hand accounts, Socratic questioning, and practical takeaways, this episode is a call to arms for ethical communication, whether you're in law enforcement, business, or just trying to be better at reading humans. If you think body language is the key, think again.

Is your body betraying your mind or the other way around?

In this episode of The Deductionist Podcast, we dive deep into the link between movement, emotion, and behavior. From the controversy around Amy Cuddy's power posing to the science of facial feedback, we unravel whether your posture can truly influence your mindset or just make you look weird in interviews.

We challenge surface-level interpretations of body language and explore how feelings, not just emotions, steer human behavior especially under pressure. Expect insights from neuroscience, psychology, and real-life stories in law enforcement and protection work.

🔍 Learn why context is king, why confidence isn’t just chemistry, and how your personal behavior repertoire trumps any one-size-fits-all model.

Whether you're trying to decode a suspect, survive a boardroom, or just understand why your gym playlist hits different this one's for you.

In this special crossover series with the Behavioural Intelligence Academy, we pull back the curtain on the skillset that turns good observers into elite operators.

This episode is your gateway into the world of Behavioural Intelligence what it is, why it matters, and how to start practising it in your everyday life.

We break down the science and strategy behind reading people, places, and patterns not through guesswork or pseudoscience but with structured, evidence-based observation. Whether you're decoding someone's motives mid-conversation or scanning a room for subtle shifts in dynamics, Behavioural Intelligence is the ultimate force multiplier.

You’ll learn:

🧠 What Behavioural Intelligence actually is and why it goes far beyond body language.

🔍 Simple drills you can do daily to sharpen your behavioural radar.

📚 Key reads to deepen your edge from profiling to perception, decision-making to deception.

All of it, grounded in logic, sharpened by science, and wrapped in the same wit and observational mischief you’ve come to expect from The Deductionist.

We are looking at the details that Sherlock would have to have used in order to disguise himself properly. It is so much more than the fake noses and wigs. Sherlock knew it and now so can you!

Forget mere body language - we're talking posture whispers, and the faintest tremor of a nerve revealing a mind's hidden map.

Join us as we dissect the master detective's methods. We'll pry open the logic cabinet where Sherlock transformed fleeting glances into detailed biographies, unearthing secrets buried beneath layers of smiles and shrugs. Was it an innate superpower or a meticulously honed skill? We'll debate the nature versus nurture of this extraordinary talent, exploring the interplay of Sherlock's genetic code and his relentless training in observation and deduction.

But why stop at Baker Street? We'll equip you with practical tools inspired by the master himself. Learn to sharpen your own gaze, to find stories etched in wrinkles and whispers in silences.
