Gives You the Ability to Handle Conflict!


During the process of Verbal Self Defense Training students will learn how to focus their attention and utilize both verbal and non-verbal communication to appropriately handle confrontation with difficult people in stressful situations. The facilitation of this seminar will include both the cognitive instruction of Verbal Self-Defense and step-by-step examples. Participants will develop greater flexibility in dealing with a larger range of situations more effectively.

The Verbal Self Defense Model is a simple standardized tool which can help a person deal with people by incorporating greater self-control while using their own choice of words and communication style. The base model is designed to be easily applied to any mental or emotional attack in any area of life. As well, the model has built in accountability, allowing the user to clearly identify the steps which they used to be proper and professional, avoiding any possible liability.

At home, at work or even on the street, this model can help anyone be better prepared to deal with confrontations with family members, friends, customers, colleagues or people in general. Verbal Self Defense is designed to give a person an efficient and effective set of simple steps to help maintain their own psychological safety.
