Robin Dreeke is a best-selling author, trainer, facilitator, and retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. Dreeke has taken his life’s work of recruiting spies and broken down the art of leadership, communication, and relationship building into Five Steps to TRUST and Six Signs of who you can TRUST. Since 2010, Dreeke has been working with large corporations as well as small companies in every aspect of their business. Whether it is newly promoted leaders, executives, sales teams, or customer relations, Dreeke has crafted his People Formula for quick results and maximum success.

The Military Leader: Although Dreeke always aspired to become a great leader, he realized from his time at the United States Naval Academy and in the United States Marine Corps that leadership was much more than just telling people what to do: a great leader uses interpersonal skills to inspire action, rather than demand the compliance of others.

The Spy Catcher: Upon entering service as an FBI Special Agent in 1997, Dreeke began his journey as a counterintelligence specialist and behaviorist in the agency’s efforts to thwart the efforts of our country’s greatest adversaries. Serving in New York City, Norfolk VA, FBI Headquarters, Quantico VA, and Fredericksburg VA, Dreeke received advanced training and experience in the area of social psychology and the practical application of the science behind relationship development and trust, ultimately leading the FBI’s elite Behavioral Analysis Program.

The Behavioral Analysis Expert: Dreeke has built his highly effective tools for all aspects and stages of interpersonal communication and relationship development. Dreeke has combined all these tools and techniques and created a one-of-a-kind formula for success with people. Today, Dreeke is a recognized expert, author, and gifted lecturer in the art of interpersonal communication, relationship building and Trust. These skills are used every day in leadership, sales, human resources, and all aspects of life, both business and personal.

If you and your team are interested in learning how to be an expert behavior analyst, create trust, build relationships, and build a business culture where there is high morale and great brand recognition, Dreeke delivers immediately actionable techniques for you and your team.

Robin Dreeke’s Speech Topics

  • High-Stakes Communication & Influence

    Robin Dreeke delivers a powerful keynote that equips leaders with practical tools to navigate the conversations that matter most; performance reviews, negotiations, conflict resolution, and high-stakes decisions. Drawing on the same frameworks he developed during 20+ years in the FBI, Robin teaches how to inspire honesty rather than force compliance, and how to create psychological safety that unlocks better outcomes for everyone involved.


    This session moves beyond traditional influence and persuasion techniques. Instead, it focuses on presence, authenticity, and the discipline of making the conversation about the other person; even when the stakes are high. Participants leave with immediately usable skills to communicate with clarity, reduce resistance, and build trust in even the most challenging interactions.

  • The Spy Hunter’s Mindset

    Robin Dreeke delivers a powerful keynote on The Spy Hunter’s Mindset; the disciplined way of thinking he developed during 20+ years in the FBI’s Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. In high-stakes environments where the cost of being wrong can be catastrophic, Robin learned that the best operators don’t rely on instinct or gut feelings. They rely on a repeatable system.


    This session teaches leaders how to separate observation from interpretation, run multiple working hypotheses, stay calm under pressure, and make clearer, more accurate decisions when the truth is not obvious. You’ll learn the same mental disciplines used by elite counterintelligence professionals and how to apply them directly to executive leadership, strategic judgement, hiring, negotiations, and team dynamics. This is the same disciplined way of thinking taught in his MasterClass, Become the Person Everyone Trusts.


    Participants leave with a practical framework that reduces bias, prevents emotional hijacking, and turns uncertainty into actionable insight — helping you become significantly harder to fool and more effective in every high-stakes situation.

  • Reading People with Precision

    Robin Dreeke delivers a powerful, practical keynote that teaches leaders how to read people with precision in any high-stakes situation. Drawing on the same behavioral frameworks he developed during 20+ years in the FBI, this session equips you with a simple, repeatable system to:


    • Establish an accurate behavioral baseline in under a minute
    • Spot subtle tempo tells and deviations that reveal hidden stress or agendas
    • Understand a person’s Life Arc — the formative experiences that drive current motivations


    You’ll leave with immediately applicable tools to improve hiring decisions, navigate difficult conversations, strengthen team trust, and make smarter judgments about people — all while staying non-judgmental and inspiring honesty rather than performance.

  • Unbreakable Alliances

    Robin Dreeke delivers a powerful keynote on building Unbreakable Alliances — the kind of deep, lasting trust that drives exceptional performance in any organization. Drawing on the same behavioral frameworks he developed during 20+ years in the FBI, Robin teaches leaders how to create psychological safety, inspire honest communication, and forge authentic connections that stand the test of time.


    This session moves beyond traditional influence and persuasion. Instead, it focuses on presence, authenticity, and understanding human motivations so you can build relationships based on genuine trust rather than manipulation. Participants leave with practical tools to strengthen teams, navigate complex dynamics, and create alliances that deliver real results; whether in the boardroom, on a project team, or across organizational boundaries.

What other organizations say about Robin Dreeke

Robin was exactly what we needed for our leadership training series. What began as a plan for a two hour DISC-centric training session become a full day of so much more. Working with Robin throughout the planning phase for our training sessions, he helped identify needs that would be beneficial to address and added on content to do so. Participants of all different management levels, backgrounds, ages and cultures at our sites all over the country jumped right in to the activities and were absolutely engaged throughout the day. Robin even integrated the message of the morning speaker we had to seamlessly tie the whole day together for the participants. The feedback we got from our employees, who gave up their entire Saturday to do this was phenomenal and some of the best we’ve ever received from any of our meetings.
