Jeremy Hurewitz’s Speech Topics

  • Sell Like a Spy

    This session surveys the high-level principles of the Sell Like a Spy program. Jeremy typically breaks the ice by informing audiences about the true nature of the intelligence world and misconceptions about it. This humanizes a world that is often sensationalized in popular culture and helps audiences understand that the skills of CIA case officers can be utilized by them to make them more successful. This sets the table to review skills like elicitation, active listening, mirroring, using the environment around, and taking notes like a spy. 

  • Skills of Social Influence

    This session focuses on skills cultivated by elite FBI agents – mainly hostage negotiators and counterintelligence agents – as well as law enforcement officials and CIA case officers. The speech starts with an introduction to the fascinating world of corporate kidnap-for-ransom support before diving into defusing difficult encounters, interviewing strategies, reading body language, detecting deception, and negotiation. 

  • Use Your Superpowers

    This is an interactive breakout session and are typically for smaller groups and are focused on to improve your networking skills and how to use the different sides of your personality to overcome challenges.

    Attendees are taught to develop three core subjects they can use in conversation and different ideas are discussed interactively to refine them in a group setting and given fascinating case studies to illustrate how to succeed with these ideas.

    This popular segment builds on the true-life stories about how spies leverage disguises and cover stories to complete their missions. Attendees are asked to think of characters they admire from popular culture and the group setting provides opportunities about how to virtually put on a mask to overcome challenging scenarios (“the dreaded happy hour” & “the arrogant client”).
