Keynote Presentation
Tempo Tells
The Profiler’s Playbook
With profound expertise in Human Behavior, motivations, and nefarious intent developed over a 21-year FBI career recruiting spies, leading the elite Behavioral Analysis Program, and protecting national security from hostile actors, Robin Dreeke has taken the exact observational framework once reserved for espionage operations and applied it to the world of true crime; earning him recognition as a go-to expert across major news platforms and a daily behavioral voice on the Hidden Killers podcast with Tony Brueski.
In this riveting keynote, Robin hands your audience the same three-lens system he and his FBI teams used to predict human behavior in life-or-death situations: Tempo, Baseline, and Life Arc.
This fast-paced presentation reveals how subtle shifts in verbal and nonverbal tempo expose stress and deception in real time, how to establish an accurate behavioral baseline in under a minute, and how to reverse-engineer anyone’s Life Arc—the formative experiences or traumas that forged the motivations driving their actions today.
Through gripping true-crime case studies and declassified FBI stories, Robin equips attendees with immediately usable tools to read people more accurately in hiring, negotiations, relationships, and high-stakes decision-making. More than a fascinating look inside the mind of predators and deceivers, this is a practical masterclass that turns every participant into a sharper, safer judge of human behavior.
Join Robin as he pulls back the curtain on Tempo Tells and discover how the same playbook once used to recruit spies and dismantle threats can protect your people, elevate your decisions, and give you an unbreakable edge in any room.

“Robin is a very gifted speaker that I would recommend for any law enforcement training session. His real world experiences and engaging personality held our attention throughout the seminar and left us wanting to investigate on our own and learn more. Robin took time to explain the personality traits and patterns in a way that made sense to our group. He is very bright, very educated and highly trained, yet never loses his audience by talking above their level or worse, talking down to them as inferiors. His welcoming personality makes you feel completely comfortable and eager to learn. I wholeheartedly recommend Robin as an instructor and brother LEO. He’s one of the best in the business and you will not be disappointed.”
