This empowering two-part experience helps you build a confident plan for staying safe—at work, in public, and at home.
You’ll learn awareness and boundary-setting strategies that feel practical (not paranoid), plus simple, effective self-defense skills designed for real-life situations.
- Personal Safety Presentation: awareness, intuition, boundaries, “premade decisions,” Cooper’s Color Code, self-defense tools, and home safety planning—brought to life with real stories that stick.
- Self-Defense Workshop: applied, legal, and practical responses to violence (not martial arts)—including body language, verbal strategies, and principle-based physical skills like palm strikes and responses to ambush attacks.
