Episode Description
How reliable are your gut feelings in determining when someone is dangerous, or when a situation is dangerous? “In my experiences, I have seen that well educated, well-read, conscientious people believe they are inherently blessed with wonderful instincts that will alert them if a dangerous person or situation confronts them. Unfortunately, this is magical thinking” says Dr. Mary Ellen O’Toole, a retired Senior FBI Profiler, who specializes in the recognition and assessment of concerning, troubling and dangerous behaviors that, if unaddressed, can have a wide range of serious consequences from loss of business and revenue to loss of lives. Join us on January 10, 6 PM East – 3 PM West, for Dr. O’Toole’s tips on how to recognize potentially violent behavior at school and in the workplace and what to do to assess the threat.
