(I wasn't on the planning committee, so I'm sure that I'm leaving people out.) I was really blown away by Mary Brandl's thoughtful personal safety presentation, which focused on developing confident and neutral body language, and let us experience how transforming this awareness can be. I see from her website (www.bpscom.com) that she also teaches specifically about conflict resolution, and this approach permeated her presentation. Really, the whole experience was a little more substantive than the title "personal safety workshop" might convey. Anyway, I'm hoping we can bring her back to another event!
