Jacquie Davis | Safety Tips

01 Never wear headphones when out jogging or cycling; you can’t hear approaching traffic or people. At all times be aware of others around you and whether they’re getting closer or maintaining a respectable distance.

02 Do not park in dark, dimly lit or secluded areas. Always try and park under a street light and somewhere public. If you have to park in an underground or multi-story car park, ask the security guard to escort you to your vehicle.

03 Before entering your car, check the rear seats. Once inside, immediately lock all the doors. And NEVER leave purses, phones or bags on display — even while you’re in the vehicle; place them under a seat or in the boot.

04 Always carry a rape or attack alarm; noise attracts attention. When approaching home, if you think you’re being followed walk past your front door. Cross the road and double-back on yourself to ensure you’re not being followed.

05 Never leave a drink unattended — a date rape drug may have been added. Often date rape drugs have no colour, smell or taste when added to a drink or food; drugs such as Rohypnol, GHB and ketamine are very powerful.

06 Be careful about the personal details you put online. Lockdown all your social media accounts. NEVER reveal that you are about to go away — or are on holiday — it tells the whole world that your house is going to be empty.

07 If meeting an online contact for the first time, arrange somewhere public and ideally crowded. Text a friend upon arrival to say where you are and activate location sharing on your smartphone.

08 When staying in a hotel, check the fire exits and make sure you know your way out. Ideally, check into a room between the second and sixth floors — high enough to avoid easy break-ins, but low enough to be reached by fire engine ladders.

09 Wedge a coathanger under the hotel room door so that no one can force it open. Also, hang the “Do Not Disturb” sign outside, in addition to taking extra precautions such as leaving the TV on to make it sound like there are always people inside.

10 When travelling, don’t throw used luggage tags in the waste bin. The barcode or QR code – which contains your personal data – can easily be scanned.

Testimonials.

Please can you pass on my thanks to Jacquie for her talk on Friday, I wanted to feedback that it was extremely well received by the team and I have had lots of positive comments about how engaging Jacquie was and how interesting her story and experiences were. It certainly started our day off with the positive note and energy I wanted from the session.

Humphries Kirk LLP.

Jacquie gave a fantastic presentation, our delegate feedback has been phenomenal … “Inspiring”, “motivating”, “uplifting”, “amazing”, “fantastic”. Introducing us to a world that we’ve only seen on screen, in a funny and engaging presentation. Jacquie understood our business and referenced this throughout her presentation making it relevant to our event topic. What’s more, Jacquie was a pleasure to deal with.

A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd.

Wow, what an amazing lady Jacquie is. Her presentation was just mind-blowing and we could have listened to her all day. We wanted to thank her for coming along and being part of our Breakthrough Women event yesterday and I hope she enjoyed the event. Please can you pass on our thanks to her.

Breakthrough Women – Breakthrough Funding Ltd.

Jacquie Davis bought the often-dull subject of Risk Management to life for our team, with a truly engaging presentation that connected her world with ours, and was followed with an in-depth no-holds-barred Q&A session.

Capital One (Europe) plc.

Absolutely fantastic start to this years #LXAcademy. The audience left feeling inspired and enlightened in to a whole new world they knew very little about. The buzz around the agency following the session was fantastic with people still talking about Jacquie. Would love to get her back to hear even more.

Havas Lynx.

Jacquie gave a guest presentation to our students on risk and crisis management. This was probably the most engaging interactive presentation we have ever had. The moment Jacquie began to talk the students (and I) were silent and enthralled from start to finish. Mesmerising and utterly brilliant.
