Special women-only seminar – February 25, 2023

The Mindset of the Empowered Woman™, a women-only seminar will educate and empower you and might just save your life. This is a women-only seminar that shatters the myth that most acts of violence are random and unpredictable.

This incredibly comprehensive 3 1/2-hour program empowers students by introducing the concepts of situational awareness and ‘Composite Risk Management’, explaining the four types of interpersonal violence, diagramming the five stages of violent criminal attacks and by breaking down the principles of ‘Social Engineering’, providing insight and a clear understanding of the tactics and methods of psychological manipulation that criminal predators rely upon to lure potential victims.

This program will also compare and contrast various self-defense system options, including pepper spray, firearms, martial arts, knives, and stun-guns to provide the student with the knowledge necessary to make the right personal choice in selecting a weapons system for self-defense.

The threat of violence surrounds us every day. The Mindset of the Empowered Woman teaches students how to recognize the danger signals that are so often missed… or ignored. This course will not only educate and empower you, but it might just save your life.

Since it was first developed in 2012 under the title of Elements of the Defensive Mindset™ this presentation has been delivered to well over 4,000 personal safety-minded individuals in over 25 states. including scores of law enforcement personnel. The developer, Keith Hanson, is a career law enforcement trainer with multiple instructor ratings in Tactical Counterterrorism, Active Shooter Response, Immediate Action/Rapid Deployment, Tactical Firearms, and SWAT Medic disciplines.
