I was privileged this weekend to participate in a piece that Fox News ran on the surging demand for female bodyguards. Over the last 10 years there has been a huge increase in requests for female executive protection specialists. Even though, the overall number for female executive protection specialists is less than 3% I see an incredible potential for growth for any female considering this industry.

There’s a good chance you’ll fail in your executive protection career unless you follow these simple rules of the road in this short article. You have entered this industry because you genuinely want to serve those you are assigned to protect. You’re on your way, but career survival while on the road is a difficult level. This short checklist will help you hone your skills while on both local and international road trips and make your principle super satisfied with your protective services.
In order not to irritate or annoy your principle while on the road, keep your eyes open and mouth shut. Be a good listener, not a talker. If asked a question, try to keep your comments upbeat without profanity.
To be successful in most fields you have to have some type of formalized or specialized education under your belt in order to teach you both the basic and advanced skills needed to succeed in a specific job. Whether that job is an auto mechanic, a draftsmen or accountant, those entering into the field of Executive Protection are also required to have some type of formal and advanced training.
In many cases you will have an extremely hard time finding employment, either with a team or as an individual without a formalized education. It is also important to remember that as an Executive Protection Specialist you have to continue on your path for excellence. Just because you graduated from the ABC school of Executive Protection does not mean that your education is complete. It is imperative for you to constantly continue to learn; the old saying “knowledge is power” is true. The more bodyguard training you have the better off you will be and the more successful you will have in the EP industry.
It has been alarming to discover that many scam businesses and unscrupulous people are taking advantage of people who are eager to get into this field.

Rule #1 in gun fighting: It is more important not to get shot than it is to shoot; shooting is extra credit. A gun fight is nothing more than a fight that involves a gun. In a hand-to-hand encounter (fist fight), whether you have combative skills are not, moving to not get hit is typically instinctive. Then you look until you hit your adversary as hard as you can as often as you can until you neutralize the threat. The strategy in a gun fight is the same, whether moving to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, or 11 o’clock to avoid getting hit. These encounters are dynamic and rarely predictable. Effective fighters learn to go with the flow and let the situation dictate their response. Very rarely, if at all, do you stand in place, you move to get off the line of attack as you simultaneously or nearly simultaneously launch your counterattack. Remember many of these encounters happen inside of 10 feet and most at bad breath distance.
