About Pamela 

For years Pamela Barnum was the only woman working undercover in a Drug Enforcement Section with ninety-two specialized officers. During that time, she learned real-world techniques for building trust and interpreting nonverbal cues. Pamela later accepted a position as a federal prosecuting attorney. She spent countless hours in the courtroom, perfecting her proficiency as a trust strategist and nonverbal communication expert. 

Following a successful 20-year career in the criminal justice system, Pamela studied corporate negotiations in graduate school. As a trust strategist and nonverbal communication expert, Pamela delivers techniques once thought of as a “secret second language.” Participants can begin using these strategies immediately to negotiate better deals, increase confidence, and influence with trust. 

Pamela shares her experience, research, and expertise with humor, honesty, and energy, blending actionable strategies with memorable stories. She is a popular TEDx speaker, featured expert, and contributor to print media and television news programs in Canada and the United States.

Crack the Code

3D Communication Strategies for Powerful Results Most of our communication is nonverbal, and we miss more than half of the conversation when we ignore what is not said. Learn the secret second language reserved for communication experts and law enforcement to communicate confidence, achieve common ground, and improve negotiation outcomes.

  • Display calm confidence and trustworthiness in every situation. Use nonverbal cues to regulate how others perceive you. 
  • Decode nonverbal cues with certainty. Understand their true intent, regardless of the words used, resulting in better negotiated outcomes. 
  • Deliver results with greater accuracy using science-backed techniques. Confidently assess verbal and nonverbal misrepresentation indicators, bluffing, and lies in real-time. 

Tactical Influence

Tactical Influence: FIRST Principles of Leadership Contrary to popular belief, achievement is not the point. The point is the challenge. Tactical Influence takes you from a place where you are not the kind of leader who could rise to the challenge - to a place where you are the kind of leader who did. Be FIRST. Learn how to close the gap between intentions and impact, resulting in improved outcomes critical to success. Using techniques backed by research, discover how Tactical Influence turns adversity into transformation.

  • Fortitude: Be the leader who can overcome change and setbacks and become stronger because of them. Using Pamela's Fascinate with Fortitude system, successfully lead teams to embrace challenges, knowing they can do hard things. 
  • Integrity: Be the leader who stands for something and flourishes during a challenge. Uncover how to replace complacency with diligence and drive. 
  • Respect: Leverage intentional communication cues for increased collaboration and improved results. Learn the number one undercover technique that makes you five times as likely to influence the outcome, even when all seems lost. 
  • Self-awareness: We are more confident and creative when we see ourselves clearly. Discover your SWAT advantage and how to implement it. 
  • Tenacity: Lead yourself and your teams to push beyond what you can do to find out what you are truly capable of. Discover field-tested strategies learned in law enforcement to never, never, never quit.
