Scott Rouse began his career working as a session musician in Boston while attending the famed Berklee College of Music. He learned to write, arrange and produce pop songs from the very best in the business.  Being fascinated since childhood with nonverbal communication, he also trained the Gold and Platinum selling artists he wrote with and produced in body language for TV, Radio, and Video interviews.

As a behavior analyst and body language expert, he holds multiple certificates in advanced interview and interrogation training and has been trained along side the FBI, Secret Service, U.S. Military Intelligence, the Nashville Metro Police Department, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations and the Department of Defense.  His extensive training, education, and practice of nonverbal communication has made him an expert and consultant to law enforcement as well as successful CEO’s, attorneys, executives, and entertainers.

Since retiring from the music business, Rouse works with startups and new entrepreneurs to help them create investor pitches for funding.  Rouse says”When pitching, there are so many things that click the investor’s ‘Gut Feeling Controls’ to the ‘Something’s Not Right Here’ setting.  Even though you’re being honest, you may inadvertently do something that tells the investor’s Limbic Brain ‘Look out, this guy’s up to something…’  That happens because the pitcher is stressed and nervous.  The investor’s Limbic Brain is relaying what it believes to be correct information to the rest of the brain, just like it’s supposed to, and thatmakes the investor act just like you would expect her to.  As an expert in involuntary physiological communication, I see what causes that problem and I fix it.”
