Description
What would you do??
A stranger begins approaching you in a parking lot...
A heated argument suddenly erupts nearby...
Someone appears to be following you...
A situation just doesn't feel right...
Would you recognize the warning signs?? More importantly, would you know what to do next??
Situational awareness is about more than simply paying attention to your surroundings. It's about recognizing potential problems, understanding your options, and making informed decisions that may help you avoid danger before a situation escalates.
This engaging, interactive Coffee & Confidence classroom course is designed to help you strengthen your situational awareness, recognize potential warning signs and pre-assault indicators, evaluate your options, and develop greater confidence in your ability to make sound decisions under pressure.
Through realistic scenarios, Image Based Decisional Drills (IBDD), guided discussions, and practical exercises, you'll explore how everyday choices, personal boundaries, and timely decision making can influence your safety.
Whether you carry a firearm, carry pepper spray, or simply want to become more aware and better prepared, this class provides a welcoming, supportive environment to learn, ask questions, and develop practical skills you can apply in everyday life.
This is not a shooting class, and it's not about equipment.
It's about YOU, your awareness, your judgment, and your ability to recognize problems early and respond appropriately.
No previous experience is necessary!!
Because when seconds matter, good decisions matter.
Topics Covered
Through realistic scenarios, Image Based Decisional Drills (IBDD), guided discussions, and practical exercises, participants will explore:
Recognizing potential threats, warning signs, and pre-assault indicators
Developing situational awareness without living in fear or constant vigilance
Understanding how stress and adrenaline can affect perception, judgment, and performance
Evaluating available options and making informed decisions under pressure
Using verbal communication, personal boundaries, and de-escalation strategies
Improving observation skills and becoming a more effective witness
Recognizing when to contact emergency services and communicating important information clearly and accurately
Expectations and Outcomes
Students can expect an engaging, interactive, and supportive learning experience featuring realistic scenarios, guided discussions, Image Based Decisional Drills (IBDD), and practical exercises that encourage thoughtful participation and decision making.
Upon completion of this course, participants should be better prepared to recognize potential warning signs and pre-assault indicators, identify environmental hazards, evaluate available options, and make more informed personal safety decisions as situations develop.
Participants will also develop a greater understanding of how stress and adrenaline can influence perception, judgment, and performance. Through guided practice, they will have opportunities to strengthen their observation and witness skills, explore effective verbal communication and de-escalation strategies, and build confidence in their ability to respond appropriately to unexpected situations.
Most importantly, students will leave with practical awareness strategies and decision making tools they can begin applying immediately at home, at work, while traveling, and throughout their everyday activities.
Our goal is not to teach you to live in fear, but to help you live with greater awareness, confidence, and preparedness!!
