The Safe & Confident Professional: Personal Risk Mitigation Masterclass

This workshop is for beginners! Zero experience necessary, and you will depart safer and more confident in your ability to protect yourself.

Think you need years of training to spot danger or earn a black belt to defeat an attacker?

Want to know how to read the room in 30 seconds to spot a threat before it happens?

When danger strikes, do you know how to turn your natural fear into immediate action instead of freezing?

Most safety training focuses on what to do after things go wrong. This workshop equips you with the mindset, observational habits, and physical strategies to spot risks early and maintain control of your environment.

Co-led by David Harter (Upstate Protective Group), a U.S. Navy Military Police veteran and risk consultant who utilizes behavioral psychology and misdirection to reveal perceptual blind spots, and Joe Borovicka (Safer Sooner Self-Defense), a U.S. Army combat veteran and certified S.P.E.A.R. System instructor dedicated to keeping people safer sooner. Together, they deliver a high-impact masterclass packed with real-world safety skills you can put into practice immediately.
