Customized consulting and Training seminars on personal safety, sex offenders, hostile customers, confrontation management, violence theory and productive communication. Expertise derived from 10 years in crisis intervention and 25 years as a police department crime prevention specialist. I am also a certified trainer for the Second Step Violence Prevention curriculum at the Elementary level. In this capacity I integrate lessons with original stories, songs and poems.

Adult seminars emphasize non-violent de-escalation techniques applicable to a wide variety of conflict scenarios, ranging from angry customers and difficult employees to distressed family members, clients and co-workers. Customized fundamental and follow-up sessions can combine lecture, role plays, planning assistance, group work and priming for productive communication beyond the crisis point.

When it comes to Confrontation Management training, Tod’s trainings are consistently informative and entertaining; we keep bringing him back for repeat staff trainings.  I recommend him without reservation!
