Communication skills, personal safety and resiliency techniques.

Having difficulties dealing with angry, aggressive or threatening people? Are you looking to reduce risks to your staff from a criminal or civil emergency or to provide practical tips on reducing stressful situations? We have the answers.

Communicating in challenging situations, resolving conflict, motivating staff, responding to emergencies and controlling emotion levels are all within our expertise.  At the extreme end, we have programmes that allow you to engage with people who threaten suicide or choose violence to solve their problems. 

We can run a customised empirically validated well-being survey across your team to highlight the strengths and potential growth areas.

Our courses and presentations are tailored to your exact requirements with most delivered in just two hours. 

Lance, our founder, has worked with elite international tactical units across police, the military, emergency services, prisons and the FBI.
