Conflict Management and Personal Protection Presentations and Training Topics

Unfortunately, whether at work, school, home, or play, even a casual encounter, exchange of words, or minor disagreement can suddenly escalate without warning into an explosive verbal, physical, or armed confrontation. Such situations, if not carefully and correctly managed, can expose members of organizations to an unlimited range of short and long-term threats to personal safety, professional reputation, and “bottom line,” including:

• crime and violence
• revenge and retaliation
• lawsuits and litigation
• blood-borne pathogen exposure
• serious personal injury
• negative publicity and financial loss
• lowered productivity and diminished organizational morale
