The Threats To Be Concerned With



Two Types of Threats:

When it comes to talking about crime, conflict and violence, there are two simple threat categories: 

Threats from...

1. Strangers.
2. People You Know.


Stranger Danger!

When it comes to staying safe from strangers:

Keep Your Distance & Keep Moving – Don’t let them get too close,
stop or redirect you.

Say, ‘NO!’ – If a stranger approaches.

Yell ‘FIRE!’ – If you or someone else is in trouble.

Give Up Your Stuff – If someone has a weapon & wants to rob you.


If Stranger Approaches, or Tries to Stop You...

If you get approached by a stranger or if he tries to stop you...

Don’t let them isolate you! 

Do whatever it takes to NOT get taken down that dark alley, into that vehicle, into that back room… 

Do whatever you have to, to get away. Remember, the really bad stuff happens in secluded places. 

Don’t let them lie to you, threaten you or grab you to get you to go. Your chances get dramatically worse the more isolated you are. 

Attract Attention

Drawing attention to someone with ill intent usually stops them in their
tracks!

This method typically work live in person, on-line, texting or on the phone...

It works in all environments, Personal, Professional and Public! 

Remember, light dispels the dark! 

So rather than fighting the dark learn how to spread more light!!

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

Image
  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
