I help HR, Duty of Care and Risk leaders reduce organisational vulnerability by improving situational awareness, decision-making and behavioural resilience.
In today’s risk landscape, personal safety is no longer optional. It is a core part of organisational responsibility. Employers have a clear duty of care to their people. The question is not whether risk exists. The question is whether you understand your exposure and have taken reasonable steps to address it.
As an HR Director, Facilities Director or Security Lead, you already manage multiple competing priorities. But have you assessed your organisation’s exposure to personal safety risk, radicalisation influence, travel related threats or workplace violence? Do your people know how to identify and manage personal risk before it escalates? If an incident occurred tomorrow, could you demonstrate that you had taken proactive steps to fulfil your duty of care?
When robbery, assault, harassment, extremist influence or security breaches occur, the impact is not limited to the individual. There are legal implications, reputational damage, operational disruption and potential liability for the organisation. These situations are often described as unforeseen. In reality, many risks are predictable and manageable when people are properly trained.
How I Work With Organisations
Keynote & Conference Speaking
High impact awareness training sessions for leadership events and industry conferences.
Corporate Training Programmes
Practical Behavioural workshops that strengthen situational awareness and personal safety capability.
Advisory & Consulting
Strategic support for organisations reviewing duty of care exposure and human risk mitigation.
This is not theoretical training. It is practical, experience led and directly relevant to the environments your teams operate in.
Why This Matters Now
Many organisations assume that serious incidents are rare. Yet risk exposure has increased. Urban crime, ideological extremism, insider threats and opportunistic violence remain real concerns.
If you cannot clearly answer the following questions, there may be a gap in your risk strategy:
• Do we understand our exposure to personal safety risk?
• Have we provided appropriate training aligned with our duty of care?
• Can we evidence that we took reasonable preventative steps?
• Are our people confident in identifying and managing threats?
Being reactive is expensive. Being proactive is responsible leadership.

Very useful for all those who are travelling from time to time, whether for professional or personal reasons.”
Birgit Ben Yedder, Admin Asst, The European Commission, Luxembourg
“Business travelling is getting more and more uncomfortable with increased pressures on time and reduced budgets, especially in the big cities like Berlin, London and Paris. Rushing from one meeting to the next often under significant stress business travellers are especially vulnerable. Advice on how to avoid difficult situations and maintain personal safety in these situations is absolutely essential for today’s business community…”
