Happy Birthday Colorado Safety Educators!

 

Change.  Who likes change or to be changed?  One day I answered the phone, and was recruited into the world of self-defense and safety awareness.  This opportunity opened my eyes and heart to a work that I cannot ever leave.

Two years ago another life-changing phone call came from a group of Colorado entrepreneurs.  They challenged me to create a platform which would offer superior public awareness campaigns on behavioral safety, personal security, as well as other topics.  They also said that I could be the Boss…it was the dream offer of a life-time!

As Founder and CEO of Five Star Seminars, Colorado Safety Educators, and National Safety Educators, the management team and I have found our perfect fit in safety niche development strategy.  Because of the vision and entrepreneurial spirit of the management team, our public awareness campaigns are continuing to gain attention throughout Colorado because we teach self-defense strategies that actually work!

I personally invite you to join in our birthday celebrations.  We have launched our beautiful new website and invite you all to our Open House.  What is a party without gifts?   We have a special present for all of you.  Head on over to Colorado Safety Educators and click on the FREE Special Safety Report! Click through and Enjoy!

It is most humbling to have been a part in changing thousands of lives here in Colorado.  With the continued help of an incredible management team, we will continue to bring solution-oriented safety instruction to our neighbors here in Colorado.

The Day I Turned Into My Father!

About two weeks ago, I needed to mail a package at my local post office.  Mailing anything should not be a big deal, but today was different.  Walking inside the building and automatically getting into line, I noticed that the head of the line was not moving.  It didn’t take long to figure out that things were not “right”.  To my surprise,  the work stations were empty.  There were NO postal workers anywhere to be seen. 

More people were lining up behind me.  The lady behind me commented that she hadn’t heard about any Postal strike. I leaned forward and asked the lady at the head of the line how long they had all been standing there.  The nine people said, “about 3-4 minutes”.

This was really weird…

I looked at the empty work stations again, and said to myself, “what would my father do?”

I boldly called out, “Hello!” “Anybody home?” “We’ve been standing here about 5 minutes, anybody back there?” 

Out SHOT five postal workers!

Everyone in line began laughing and smiling.

The line moved rapidly from that point on.  The lady at the head of the line finished, turned, and grinned broadly at me.  As she walked away, she said in a loud voice to me, “isn’t it amazing what happens when you turn into your Father!”

 For several years I have taught about the power of using our voices in my safety seminars.  This time there was no danger, but action was required. The boldess of my words brought forth immediate action. I was amazed and so was everyone standing in that line for so long.

When I got home…I called my Dad and related my story.  It was one of the best conversations we have ever had.
