Confidence & Safety in the Workplace
Customized self-defense training designed exclusively for workplace teams and leaders.
Workplace wellness isn’t just about yoga classes and meditation apps; true wellness includes personal safety, assertive communication, and the confidence to navigate difficult situations.
At Arise, we specialize in empowerment self-defense workshops and training that help employees feel safer, stronger, and more equipped to manage challenges at work and beyond. Our workshops blend practical self-defense techniques with verbal strategies and mindset training, customized to the needs of today’s diverse and high-pressure workplaces.
Designed for a Range of Industries.
Our workshops support individuals and teams across industries, including:
Healthcare & Social Services
Hospitality & Tourism
Real Estate & Property Management
Retail & Customer Service
Education & Childcare
Corporate & Professional Services
Transportation & Public-Facing Roles
Public-facing industries such as hospitality and real estate are seeing increased risks of verbal and physical violence. Our workshops equip employees with the skills to de-escalate conflict, set boundaries, and respond to safety concerns with clarity and confidence.
Why this matters.
Whether your team is public-facing or not, employees across many industries regularly encounter emotionally charged, boundary-testing interactions, and may be at risk of verbal aggression, harassment, or escalation.
At the same time, internal workplace dynamics—such as gender-based violence, harassment, or power imbalances—can deeply impact how safe and supported people feel at work, affecting retention rates and wellbeing.
Our workshops create space for practical skills, self-awareness, and empowerment—so your team can feel confident, connected, and equipped to protect themselves and support one another.
Supporting women in leadership
Additionally, women and gender-diverse people in leadership roles often face unique safety and boundary challenges, both in and outside the workplace. Whether it's confidently navigating solo business travel, setting firm limits in male-dominated spaces, or handling power dynamics in high-stakes environments, our sessions empower women with tools that reinforce their presence, voice, and personal safety.
We also offer private coaching tailored for executive women, leadership cohorts, and women’s networks within organizations.
