EMPOWER and PROTECT
Self-Defense Class for All
Come and join AREAA GLA & Women's Council of Realtors GLA to celebrate Safety Month. Empower & Protect brings together safety experts & community leaders for an interactive program covering personal safety, home & Workplace.
Personal safety is something we often take for granted — until the unexpected happens. Whether you’re a real estate agent meeting clients in vacant homes, a professional working late hours, or simply someone who wants to feel more confident in everyday life, this Self-Defense & Personal Safety Class will give you the tools you need to stay safe and in control.
This special training will be led by Eric Lahoy, a Certified Instructor with the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA). With years of experience teaching individuals and professionals how to protect themselves, Eric combines practical instruction with real-world scenarios to ensure you walk away with skills you can use immediately.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to improve situational awareness to recognize and avoid danger before it starts.
✅ Simple, effective self-defense moves anyone can use — no prior training required.
✅ Safety strategies for open houses, client meetings, and everyday environments.
✅ Tips on maintaining professionalism and composure while keeping safety first.
✅ How to shift your mindset from feeling vulnerable to feeling empowered and prepared.
