SPEAK. GROW. THRIVE.
TOGETHER AT NSA HOUSTON
Hands Off! A Speakers Guide to Staying Safe for Everyday Life
Why It Matters:
A speaker’s life requires a great deal of traveling, staying in hotels, and networking. But a speaker’s physical and mental safety is of utmost importance. The Hands-Off program provides concepts and techniques for the following:
1. Setting boundaries and communicating expectations
2. Situational awareness and de-escalation approaches
3. Basic self-defense against grabs and holds
4. Safe space techniques for networking/happy hours
Wear comfy clothes, all experience levels and ages are welcome and ask questions. Most importantly, we are going to have fun!
Objective: Help NSA Houston members master the mental discipline and resilience to excel on stage, in business, and in life.
