Victims In Plain Sight: How to be Tactical in Public, Protect Yourself, and Boost Your Situational Awareness with Counterterrorism SWAT Officer, Adam Contos
Manage episode 364772592 series 3402534
If you’re the type of person who tends to wait until bad things happen before finally taking action, it’s crucial for you to slow down and reevaluate what distractions are interfering with your presence of mind. Today, with the help of my guest, former Counterterrorism SWAT Officer, Adam Contos, I’m giving you access to the personal leadership lessons that will stop victimization in its tracks, help prevent the worst from happening, and free up your mind so you can properly respond to any threats in life, business, and beyond. And I’ll tell you now, it’s eye opening. Our conversation unpacks a few real-life scenarios that highlight why intuition and personal awareness are essential attributes plus showcases how preparation leads to a truly successful life. Join us as we sip WIDOW JANE 10YR BOURBON NEAT, and dive into the insights you’ll need to meet any challenge that threatens your peace with poise, purpose, and strength.
Wise Words from this episode:
- Prepare yourself to handle problems or find ways to prevent them — either way, don’t just sit around waiting for issues to arise. Choosing to be active and find solutions doesn’t always come cheap or easy but the truth is, it can save your life. Well worth it, yes?
- Sometimes, terrible situations will pop up no matter what we do. However, we can help safeguard ourselves/others by being aware, avoiding clear dangers, de-escalating in moments of conflict, and responding rather than merely reacting. Focusing on these four principles can, if nothing else, increase the possibility of a positive resolution for worst-case scenarios.
- In the absence of awareness, you become a victim of life and its circumstances. After all, if you don’t understand where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’re going, there’s no way you can identify opportunities or predict potential challenges.
- With a flashlight, you can defend against potential threats in the simplest, fastest way. Small flashlights with ample lighting can flood an attacker's view and establish dominance over your personal space. There’s a reason cops use it at night during traffic stops!
- Automatically interpreting a situation as a threat doesn’t help matters and will just create unnecessary tension within yourself. Instead, allow yourself a free-flowing thought process despite feeling nervous. It will enable you to evaluate situations better and react more appropriately.
