Success Stories
What I like most about the Vistelar training program is it is different from the ground up than most other training programs. Instead of simply telling learners to “Set Limits,” it helps them learn how to communicate limits effectively with usable scripts. Next, the program offers better defensive and physical management strategies. Oftentimes, training programs will offer “safe” training on how to defend oneself or how to regain physical control of a person acting out in crisis. This training is “safe” in that it limits the realism to hide the fact that it would not be successful if needed in a real-world environment with a real person acting out. Vistelar is different. It’s training is easy to follow and gives the participants real options for both their personal safety AND that of the person in crisis. It’s just better!

How confident do you feel with where the company is going?
We will begin in this chapter by dealing with some general quantum mechanical ideas. Some of the statements will be quite precise, others only partially precise. It will be hard to tell you as we go along which is which, but by the time you have finished the rest of the book, you will understand in looking back which parts hold up and which parts were only explained roughly.
