BYOB- that’s Be Your Own Bodyguard (Signature Program)
Who ever said personal protection involved fighting?
To start with this program over 90% interactive and is full of cutting edge material. If we take a moment to be intellectually honest a lot of student safety programs have become stale, outdated and chock full of recycled, predictable material. Ask yourself does this sound familiar- “trust your intuition”, “be aware of your surroundings”? However did you know intuition can be developed and there is more to just “being aware”? Truth be told many criminals are familiar with these techniques and have adapted to compensate to the point they are almost ineffective. So maybe it’s time for something new. This workshop has been designed to offer material that is rarely taught, yet are highly effective. Here is a small sample of what you’ll learn:
- A simple 3 part formula that can be applied to any situation that will determine if you are in danger
- How to develop intuition (yes, it’s possible)
- Why common verbal de-escalation techniques often fail, or aggravate situations and what to do instead
- How to recognize alcohol blackout and how to test for it
- The best tool to carry for personal protection
- And much more…
The ultimate goal of the workshop is to awaken innate abilities and to put common sense into common practice.
Similar programs cost $3000 or higher and typically run for a maximum of 90 minutes. Since we are not here to play games so the cost of the program is $1799 (plus T & E) and can run for up to three hours if you wish. Either way- you win… fresh, cutting edge knowledge and long program duration for less money.
As a bonus here is another promise - we will not plug, promote or shamelessly hock books (or other swag) just to make additional money. Truth be told we think that tactic is cheesy. Rather ALL attendees will be able to download a copy of “Enough: A Candid Look at How to Avoid Sexual Assault” FOR FREE after attending the session.
One of our driving forces is impart teachings designed to reduce high risk behavior is a fun an enjoyable way and to develop a complete individual that is able to use the wholeness of ourselves with respects to personal protection. More Information>> | Universities and Colleges please click here

SafeTEACHExclusive violence prevention program for educators and administratorsDespite having an security measures on campus teachers are still on the front line and are regrettably ill-equipped to handle an outbreak of violence. The main two reasons being a lack of knowledge with regards to acceptable responses and lack of training on how to handle classroom violence. Traumatic attacks can happen in matter of moment leaving you severely injured. No doubt this is maddening on several levels and a complicated problem requiring a complex solution. Until a solution is found why put your staff at risk? More Information >>

Our Style
Our presentation style is light-hearted, fun and non-threatening while making sure the seriousness of our message is conveyed. GuardianU was founded by Dave McCubbin with the sole purpose of teaching people how to protect themselves. Our philosophy is based on several core principles and developing the best weapon everyone has, your mind.
Mission
Our mission is very straight forward… To equip people with the necessary skills to keep themselves safe in all aspects of life. Through violence prevention and awareness programs, hands on training seminars, and media products; our goal is to impact people no matter the age, level of ability, or walk of life. We help transform their lives from feeling powerless to being powerful. Furthermore, Dave is a dynamic, energetic and nurturing speaker whose blend of real life experience, humor and thought-provoking topics will leave your attendees with a long lasting message and skill sets that are immediately applicable to their lives. Many people view us as a provider of violence prevention seminars and self-protection workshops, however we are much more. While it is true we teach people how to protect themselves, we also show people their inner potential and value. Everyone is unique and this uniqueness gives them intrinsic value. No one has the right to violate or harm anyone, either mentally or physically. The illusions of fear, doubt and low self-esteem are removed and replaced with perseverance, adaptability and power.
