MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Police and law enforcement trainers, who coach officers and staff in their departments to communicate under high-intensity situations, will convene in Milwaukee, Wis. Nov. 9-11.
The weekend will recertify trainers in a methodology known as Verbal Defense & Influence (formerly Verbal Judo), based upon the teachings of the late Dr. George Thompson, a pioneer in the tactical communications strategies. Over the course of three decades, these street-tested strategies have the gold standard communications protocol.
This Second Annual Verbal Defense & Influence Instructor Conference will take place Nov. 9 – 11 at the Radisson North Shore, 7065 North Port Washington Road, Glendale, Wis. For details visit vistelar.com/vdiconference.
“Our teaching strategies have evolved to address the most critical issues of today,” said Verbal Defense & Influence director Gary Klugiewicz.
Some highlights that will be covered include:
• Utilizing the 5 universal truths of human interaction
• How to make ethical interventions before bad things happen
• Learn to manage verbal abuse with new word blocks
• Practical interventions for individuals with autism and special needs
Last year, police trainers from around the country (including Guam) attended this intensive weekend training opportunity.
