Welcome!

Thank you for taking a moment to consider your safety and/or the safety of your employees during home visits.  

What can you learn from my presentations or my book?  Here are a few of the benefits:

• How to reduce fear and worry
• Some of the possibilities and why denying them (or not knowing they exist) is dangerous
• Mental skills you can learn to protect yourself from predators
• An understanding of fear so you can overcome it and use it to your advantage
• Ways to prevent abduction (a crime more common than you might think)
• Awareness skills that can become second nature
• How to develop instincts you can trust to warn you of danger (so that danger does not have to be something you worry about)
• How to get help without adding to your danger
• Many simple tips that can keep you safe
• Confident body language awareness and it's effects on attack prevention
• 20 possible scenarios and how to prevent them or get out safely

Whether safety and self defense is a favorite topic of yours or even if it's a topic you avoid and would rather not think about, my presentations and my book will open your eyes to a new world.  A world in which you can confidently and calmly be in control of your own safety without having to even think about it.  I'll show you how to make some simple and effective safety skills second nature for you and how to develop your instincts that will help keep you safe.

Let me teach you, your employees and/or your colleagues how to prevent and avoid becoming a victim of crime without the use of force.  It is possible and you can do it!

My lively and up-beat presentations are perfect for anyone that enters the home or small business of a client, patient or customer.

My presentations for people that make home visits are given in a friendly style that promotes learning and audience interaction.  Many aspects of personal safety for home visits are covered in the 1 to 2 hour sessions, but I also have a three hour (1/2 day) session as well.

I bring my many years of training and research to you.  I combine motivation and a positive style with the many ways to prevent victimization and to diffuse dangerous situations by learning how to remain in thinking mode.

If you or an employee becomes a victim of crime, it can have serious consequences for both the victim and the company or organization.

• Being a victim of even a minor crime can cause physical and emotional issues.
  • Time needed away from work
  • Depression and lack of productivity
  • Leaving the job
  • Self destructive or impulsive behaviors
  • Trouble concentrating and making decisions
  • Desire for revenge
• Counseling by a qualified professional is recommended
• The incident could cause bad publicity
• Lawsuits

Let me teach your audience how to stay out of harm's way by developing the mental skills that can easily be developed into good habits.

• The National Association of Professional Organizers (National Conference in San Diego California)
• Florida Association of County Social Services Executives (Regional Conference in Ft Myers Florida)
• Case Western Reserve University - Class for the Ohio School Social Work Association
• Ohio School Social Workers Conference in Columbus Ohio
• Toastmasters District 40 conference in Dayton Ohio
• Fond du Lac County Dept. of Social Services in Fond du Lac Wisconsin

I have earned the title of CTM (Competent Toastmaster) through the Toastmasters organization.
