BRAVE BY DESIGN
BOISE, IDAHO | APRIL 2026
BRAVE by Design
Professional safety training for women in real estate. Twenty-one immersive hours over three days and a complete system that stays with you long after you leave.
You show properties alone. You meet strangers at vacant homes. You drive to remote listings with people you've never met in person. You know the risk. You've always known.
You follow the protocol. You meet at the office first, you share your location, you trust your gut. But if a situation turns physical, most agents have no trained response at all.
The answer to each of these is a trainable skill. This is not a webinar or an overview. It is twenty-one immersive hours with a master-level instructor who has spent three decades teaching women exactly this.
A client blocks the doorway at a vacant listing
Someone grabs your wrist during a showing and won't let go.
A buyer becomes aggressive and verbal de-escalation isn't working.
Your body freezes and you can't think clearly.
You're alone at an open house and someone won't leave.
Most agents who ever needed to protect themselves once believed it would never happen to them.

"I've taken safety webinars. I've read the articles. None of it changed the way I actually felt walking into a showing alone. This did."
What most agents have been taught...
The standard advice for agent safety
Meet new clients at the office first
Require identification before showings
Walk behind the client, not in front
Keep blinds open and lights on at open houses
Share your location with a colleague
Use smartphone safety apps
Trust your gut and avoid after-dark showings
What we teach...
What happens when good protocol isn't enough
Over three days, you will learn:
How to use your voice to stop a situation before it becomes physical
Body language that communicates authority, not fear
Owning the distance between you and someone who shouldn't be that close
Physical techniques that work regardless of your size or strength
Stress response training so your body acts instead of freezing
Scenario training built around actual real estate situations
THE DESIGN
Before, During, After
BEFORE
Pre-Retreat Preparation
Before you arrive, you'll have a private one-on-one session with your instructor. We'll get to know you, understand your specific work situation, answer your questions, and make sure you feel completely ready for Day One.
DURING
The Intensive
Three full days of hands-on training. A complete system, layered and repeated until every response becomes instinct.
AFTER
Post-Retreat Practice
Your training doesn't end on Day Three. Four weeks of guided practice and a personal maintenance plan you can follow on your own time, whether you have fifteen minutes or an hour.
The
Schedule
EVENING BEFORE | 6:00Pm to 8:00PM
Arrive, settle in, and meet the women you'll train beside. Light refreshments. The energy of the group begins here.
DAY ONE: Foundations | 8:00am to 5:00pm
By the end of the first day, you'll have real techniques you can use and a level of capability that surprises you.
DAY TWO: DEPTH | 8:00am to 5:00pm
On the second day, the pressure increases and the pace picks up. You'll discover that your skills hold up when it matters most.
DAY THREE: OWNERSHIP | 8:00am to 5:00pm
On the final day, you'll train in scenarios built around showings, open houses, and client situations. You leave with skills matched to the work you actually do.

QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked
Do I need prior training or fitness experience?
None at all. This program is designed for women of all experience levels, from those who have never done anything like this to those with prior training. Master Wade meets every participant exactly where they are. The method is built around leverage, not strength.
What if I'm nervous about the physical component?
That's completely normal and expected. Every exercise is explained before it's practiced, and you are never asked to do anything you're not ready for. The environment is supportive and women-only. Most women say their nerves disappear within the first hour.
Can this be covered as a professional development or business expense?
Many brokerages classify agent safety training as professional development. For independent agents, the retreat may qualify as a business expense. We can provide documentation and invoicing for either. Ask us about group rates for multiple agents from the same office.
Will this interfere with my showing schedule?
The retreat runs Wednesday through Friday, finishing by 5pm each day with breaks throughout for anyone who needs to check in with their team. Most agents block those three days and let their office handle showings while they're in training.
Can I bring a colleague from my office?
Absolutely. Training alongside someone you work with is especially powerful because you'll have a built-in practice partner back at the office. Groups of three or more from the same brokerage receive 20% off registration. (Use code GROUP20 at checkout)
What makes this different from the safety training I've already done?
Most agent safety training focuses on awareness and prevention: meeting at the office, sharing your location, trusting your instincts. That advice is important and we support it fully. Our training starts where that advice ends, which is what to do when prevention wasn't enough and you need a physical response.
Who else will be there?
Up to twenty women, including real estate agents, professionals in public-facing roles, and women who take personal safety seriously. Attendees are joining from multiple countries. The common thread is that they want real training, not a seminar.
Is everything confidential?
Yes. We do not photograph participants during practice. Anything shared personally in the room stays in the room. Privacy and discretion are built into the format.
What is the refund or cancellation policy?
All fees are non-refundable, but your seat is fully transferable to another woman or to a future retreat at no additional cost. We recommend travel insurance for flights and accommodations.
You've read the articles. You've taken the webinars.
You've hoped for the best.
This is the training that replaces hope with certainty.
