Client Comment:
"Having been
raised by a parent with unbelievable courage and a nack for encouraging "experience", my philosophy has been to take life
on, live it without fear or regret. I always had felt "prepared" to deal with whatever came my way, as it came
my way. I took on the attitude of "if it" happens, I will face it and accept the outcome. So far, so good.
And
then, in the course of adding to my life experiences I became involved in a "disaster training drill", [and a STAR
Team training course] taught by April Kelcy of Earthquake Solutions.
It quite literally changed my life.
I
was quick to recognize all that I was unprepared for and the consequences of that ill-preparedness in the event of a disaster. Ms.
Kelcy did not instill fear, or speak of
impending
doom. Rather she presented facts and then gave me the knowledge, skills, tools and confidence to
SURVIVE a disaster, and more importantly, to help others survive. The lessons learned in this course have been
shared with my young sons, my friends, and my associates in the workplace and from that comes comfort in that they too can
survive.
I
no longer chance survival. I have taken control of my survival and have empowered others to do
the same." I continue to "take on" life and I do it without fear. The difference is, I have
ensured the part of no regrets, with the confidence that I will be prepared to do all I can do for myself
and others when the time calls for it."
