THE TIMELINE OF SELF-DEFENSE

A Keynote on Personal Safety, Situational Awareness, and Violence Prevention

Most people think self-defense starts when something goes wrong. It doesn't.

Randy King is an internationally recognized keynote speaker, personal protection expert, and published author who has spent 20 years teaching real-world safety to SWAT teams, corporations, schools, and communities across 14 countries. This keynote dismantles everything your audience thinks they know about staying safe and replaces it with a framework that actually works,  before, during, and after a threatening situation.

This is not a martial arts class. This is a masterclass in situational awareness, violence prevention, and the psychology of threat behavior, delivered in a way that any audience can apply starting today.

Who this is for: Conferences, corporate events, association meetings, leadership retreats, and organizations looking for a personal safety keynote that combines real-world experience with practical tools.

Your audience will leave with:

• A clear understanding of how threats develop and how to recognize them early
• A simple framework for making faster, smarter decisions under pressure
• The ability to distinguish between a real threat and a perceived one
• Practical personal safety tools that require zero prior training

BEFORE IT ESCALATES

A Workshop on Workplace De-escalation and Conflict Communication

The most powerful safety tool your team has is not physical. It is communication.

Conflict is part of the job for millions of frontline workers. Hotel staff, healthcare workers, transit operators, retail teams face situations every day that can escalate fast. This workplace de-escalation workshop gives frontline employees the skills to read a situation, hold a boundary, and defuse tension before it becomes a crisis.

No jargon. No theory. Just practical conflict communication tools drawn from real experience working the door, protecting executives, and delivering workplace safety training to organizations worldwide.

Who this is for: Hospitality and hotel staff, healthcare and hospital workers, retail and customer service teams, transit and public-facing employees, and any organization investing in frontline conflict resolution training.

Your team will leave with:

• A practical system for reading body language and emotional escalation
• De-escalation language that holds boundaries without backing down
• Confidence to manage aggressive behavior professionally and safely
• Tools to reduce workplace incidents and protect staff wellbeing

PREDATOR
PROOF

A Keynote on Women's Personal Safety and Self-Defense Awareness

The tactics predators use only work when you don't know what they are.

This talk was built specifically for women. Not a generic self-defense class. Not a list of rules to follow. A direct, honest conversation about how predators actually think, how they choose targets, and what real personal safety looks like in the real world.

Randy King has trained thousands of women across North America and internationally, and this program exists because most of what women are taught about self-defense is wrong. This talk fixes that and leaves every woman in the room with tools she can use immediately.

Who this is for: Women's conferences, campus safety programs, women's professional organizations, corporate women's leadership events, and any organization committed to women's personal safety and empowerment.

Your audience will leave with:

• A clear understanding of how predators select and approach targets
• Situational awareness skills that reduce risk without living in fear
• Practical tools for before, during, and after a threatening situation
• The confidence that comes from real knowledge instead of self-defense myths
