THE CHANGING FACE OF CRIME
If you think you know how to avoid being targeted by a criminal, think again. The fact is that crime prevention techniques that were taught ten, five, or even three years ago are no longer relevant today. That means we have to adapt our thinking to today’s world and today’s crimes.
By interviewing criminals serving life sentences and the survivors of crime, Andrew Wooten has learned how people are selected as targets. He has used this information to identify the top areas where victimization occurs and the techniques needed to reduce your chances of being victimized.

WHAT BRINGS YOU JOY?
Did you choose the right job? Are you on the right career path? To truly be happy in your life, you must determine your own life purpose. Take a real look at yourself. What are your talents? Your natural skills? Are you using those to their fullest extent? True happiness comes from within. Discovering what brings you joy will lead to a life plan that will result in success and true happiness.

PROTECTING YOUR KIDS: A SAFETY PROGRAM FOR PARENTS
We teach our children to play sports, ride a bike and cook. Why shouldn’t we teach them to protect themselves from predators? Strangers, guns, secrets, the Internet and where to go in case of an emergency are only the beginning. Learn concrete advice on how to talk to your kids about difficult subjects. Discover practical, everyday things you can teach your kids that will greatly increase their safety—now and for the rest of their lives.

EMBRACING CHANGE TO INCREASE EFFECTIVENESS
Change is constant, and it impacts everyone. Although you may not be able to change the circumstances around you, what you can change is yourself. And sometimes that changes everything. This presentation explores how to be a change-embracer, which in turn will increase your effectiveness. That means developing new and improved attitudes and habits. When those new attitudes and habits meet the skills and knowledge you already possess, anything is possible. After this inspirational session, you will stop resisting change and welcome it as an opportunity to go from good to great.

PREPARING FOR COLLEGE LIFE: HOW DO I PROTECT MYSELF?
Binge drinking, hazing rituals and drug use are all common among college students. Those young adults who are away from home for the first time are particularly vulnerable to the dangers that lurk in their new and exciting environment. Who do you trust? How do you deal with peer pressure and make good choices?
We will explore how to be safe in this new environment by discussing what to be aware of, what to look for and how to handle yourself. Young attendees will walk away with solid advice and realistic ideas on how to successfully cope with these aspects of campus life.

DATE RAPE 101: A CRASH COURSE IN COLLEGE SAFETY FOR FEMALE FRESHMEN
This is a must-hear for any young woman leaving home for college. You hear on the news about attacks on college campuses—but what you don’t hear is even scarier. Hundreds of date rapes occur on college campuses that are never reported. In this self-defense class, young women will learn how to be more aware of their surroundings. They will learn what suspicious behaviors to be aware of and how to avoid a dangerous situation. If they should find themselves in a bad situation, they will also learn what to do and how to get an attacker to let them go.

SOCIAL NETWORKING THE SAFE WAY
Social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter have exploded in popularity. But how do you protect yourself when on these largely open social sites? Whether you are 16 or 68, you’ll learn valuable, down-to-earth tips on what you should and shouldn’t share. Whether it’s identity theft or a physical encounter, we will discuss what criminals are looking for on these sites and the tricks they may use to lure you in.
