The Empowerment Training Workshop™
for Women, Men, Girls and Boys

Created in 1990, The Empowerment Training Workshop™ is one of the hallmarks of my professional career and served as the template for my book, THE FEMININE WARRIOR — A Woman's Guide to Verbal, Psychological, and Physical Empowerment, published in 1998.  Initially designed as a basic rape and assault prevention program for women and adolescent girls, this workshop quickly expanded in both breadth and depth and has since evolved into a comprehensive, transformative vehicle for those interested in total empowerment on all levels of being, i.e. body, mind and spirit.

In a seamless union of East and West, The Empowerment Training Workshop™  is rooted in a uniquely designed self-defense/martial-art experiential that draws upon ancient and contemporary tools, techniques and strategies to calm the mind, relax the body, stabilize the emotions, enhance self-confidence and overcome fear.  Whether you find yourself faced with the threat of violence or simply challenged by the events, circumstances and situations that are part and parcel to everyday life, this workshop will empower you to meet and respond to the present moment with clarity, focus, trust and infinite wisdom.

Depending upon both target audience and need, areas covered in The Empowerment Training Workshop™ may include:

• The Art of Assertiveness;
• Verbal Empowerment;
• Boundary-Setting: Tools & Practices;
• The Psychology of Empowerment;
• Threat Assessment and Response;
• An Introduction to Physical Resistance;
• Essential Principles of Self-Defense;
• Meditation Practices for Body, Mind & Spirit;
• Self-Mastery and Intuitive Development;
• The Martial Arts as a Way of Life

Upon request, The Empowerment Training Workshop™  may also be adapted for a specific age group (i.e., adolescents, seniors), gender (i.e., male, female, co-ed), profession (i.e., educators, therapists, executives, managers, field reps., sales), industry (i.e., legal, entertainment, retail, hospitality, healthcare) and/or community (i.e., government, schools, religious, spiritual, non-profit).
