"I have enjoyed a long and productive professional relationship with Elly Johnson through her provision of training for Perceptive Interviewing and Evaluating Truth and Credibility courses. I have personally completed three courses with Elly over the past eight years and send all my personnel security vetting officers to complete at least one and usually two of these. The courses Elly delivers are comprehensive and well-resourced but it's the particular flavour she lends that makes them really special. Elly is a gifted presenter who uses her intellect, experience and sense of humour to engage her students to great effect. I have no hesitation in recommending Elly and her courses."

"Wowee Elly, what a great three days of learning and growing! I loved how you facilitated my immersion into truth and deception. Three standouts were: I felt respected and inspired as an adult learner, I appreciated how you helped us learn from each other and I valued being enabled with insight and tools. Two years down the track, I still think your course was in my top three development events of my career. Going back to my notes today to prep for a tricky interview coming up. Thank you so much."
