Lt. Col. Dave Grossman presents: “Workplace Violence —Causes, Prevention, and the Aftermath”
May 15, 2008 in Lansing
Course fee is $99 for this one-day seminar.
It's official: 'Going Postal' is epidemic in America. Workplace violence has reached epidemic proportions, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, with an average of three or four employees killed each month in the United States.
Do you know how to address difficult situations recognizing, stemming or defusing inappropriate aggression and prevent violence in the workplace before it occurs?
Do you really think there will be an act of violence in your workplace? Look to a fire exit and think, "Will there really be a fire here?” We do not think there will ever be a fire but we would be morally, criminally negligent if we did not prepare for the possibility. The same is true of workplace violence.
How many times do we hear of workplace violence tragedies in the news that could have been prevented if someone had reported the warning signs that lead to workplace violence? Lt. Col. Grossman teaches us how to recognize, report, and defuse tense situations before they erupt into workplace violence.
The most effective way to deal with a potentially violent employee, client, or customer is through employee education. This seminar equips your employees with vital knowledge that could save lives in your workplace and teaches those who will be responding how to deal with this high risk incident..

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman presents:
"The Bulletproof Mind: The Mental Preparation for Combat"
“The Bulletproof Mind: The Mental Preparation for Combat for Law Enforcement Families”
May 16, 2008 in Lansing Michigan
Course fee is $99 for the officer, additional fee of $25 per person for a spouse or mature teen to attend this one-day seminar.
This one-day course will expose the attendee and their families to the proper mind-set to mentally survive the use of force encounter and has never been offered in Michigan before and will address the many issues of how surviving critical incidents depends on our families being part of the team.
The Bulletproof Mind helps build your mental muscle for winning in deadly confrontations–and surviving the aftermath. Lt. Col. Grossman explores what really happens to the warrior after the battle, and shows how emotions, such as relief and self-blame, are natural and healthy ways to feel about having survived combat.
An informative look at posttraumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) details how to prevent it, how to survive it should it happen, how to come out of it stronger, and how to help others who are experiencing it. This seminar should not be missed if you are involved in law enforcement, security, military, or any other field where you are at personal risk.
Special rates are available for your spouse to attend along with your mature teens. This seminar is a great opportunity for development of a strong support network and a better understanding of the stress of our profession.
