Fraud breaks one in three businesses. A business may be the perfect target, a sitting duck for the financial attacks by both con artists and dishonest employees, either of which may completely take down a business.

Professional speaker and fraud expert Chuck Whitlock helps businesses learn how to spot both internal and external threats as well as prevent the financial loss which accompanies them.

Chuck’s presentations incorporate videos, real-life investigations, interviews with perpetrators, humor, and energy-making for a valuable learning experience for anyone in business and the business of protecting businesses.

Armed with his library of videos and in-depth knowledge of white-collar crime, Chuck educates audiences about fraud by raising awareness of current scams and how scams work.

Every business-and certainly every loss-prevention specialist-will benefit from Chuck’s efforts and expertise.

Rapprochement: Fuel for accelerating digital forensics investigations

By

Most professionals agree that being collaborative with others—even “likable”— is the master key to getting things done, more so than technical prowess, education, or past experience. Digital forensics examiners must work with or address challenging clients (often lawyers), law enforcement, judicial officers and staff, other experts, and jurors.

In this session, we will discuss techniques for: introductions; establishing rapport; giving, earning, and maintaining respect; managing perceptions; establishing and maintaining boundaries; and communicating effectively. Mastery of these techniques will not only result in immediate effects with new encounters, but yield long term, compounding benefits over time.

Your presenter is a full-time digital forensics examiner, medical device security expert, and attorney, who works all sides of communications challenges.
