Presenter: Gavin de Becker
Objectives: Participants completing this presentation will be able to:
- Recognize the survival signals that warn us about risk from strangers.
- Better rely upon their intuition to separate real from imagined danger.
- Move beyond denial in order to let their intuition work for them.
Description: Gavin de Becker has spent
decades studying violence and
human behavior in order to better protect his clients from
a variety of real
or potentially dangerous situations. In this interview with
Dr. David Bresler,
he will explode the myth that most violent acts are random
and
unpredictable, and will show that they usually have
discernible motives
and are preceded by clear warning signs.
These Pre-Incident Indicators (PINs) can help determine
whether or not
someone poses a real danger to our health and well-being.
He will also
explain why our powers of intuition are the best protection
we have
against violence, and the best way for us to triumph over
fear.
