We can typically manage 95% of the people we meet pretty well. The reason is simple: most people are quite polite. It is that 5% that gives us 5 minutes of anything from annoying hassle ... right through the range ... to outright fear for our personal safety. Some people might end up looking over their shoulder for the next week. Now 5% may not seem like much, but some of us have to meet and deal with a great many people daily, and over the course of a week, depending upon the circumstances, we may end up facing off to any number of really upsetting encounters.

Consider some typical jobs: Teachers, doctors and nurses, traffic wardens, sales staff, bank tellers, librarians, police, ambulance workers, bus drivers, taxi drivers, and so on. Think how many people they meet everyday. One bad encounter can ruin their whole day or even their whole week. What is certain is that they will have some unpleasant encounters. The purpose of my seminars is to help people deal with what happens and to end up better off in spite of it.

You will learn how to deal with situations

Seminars

The Half Day Seminar lasts about three hours. We will discuss possible situations and solutions. We will practice a range of scenarios and the aim is to come up with strategies that suit your particular working environment. There will be a small segment on practical self-defence - how to extricate your self from strong grips.

The All Day Seminar is six hours (times are flexible to suit your needs). As above, with more time spent on each activity, with an extended period of simple practical self-defence.
