About this ebook
A lot of people think that becoming a body guard would be a lot of fun. They believe that bodyguards lead exciting lives and that the job is one that anyone who is tough, strong or intimidating looking could do well at. The truth is that becoming a successful bodyguard requires more than martial arts skills and an imposing presence. The job of a bodyguard is one that includes a lot of research, planning and negotiation.
Bodyguards must be proficient in not just dealing with physical threats when they do occur, but also in preventing the threats from surfacing in the first place. This can sometimes mean trying to tactfully change the way that the client behaves. If a client really is in danger, then they will need to think carefully about where they go and who they spend time with. This is something that they might not appreciate.
It is difficult to change the behaviour of someone who has spent many years doing their own thing, but a good bodyguard can explain the reasons why this is important, and can act to improve the safety of a person at home, at work, and when they are travelling. Let’s take a look at the responsibilities of a bodyguard, what techniques and strategies do bodyguards use in different situations, and how you can prepare yourself for the career in this challenging but very rewarding field. Are you up for the task?

Some people handle interviews well – for others it can be a pretty traumatic experience. Even if you are the perfect match for a job vacancy if you don’t prepare for your interview and put yourself across well you may never have the opportunity to prove it.
Some people seem to breeze through interviews and land jobs that they aren’t even well qualified for while others find it all a horrendous struggle.
If interview technique is not your strong point don’t worry – there are lots of valuable tips, tricks and advice following which will help you on your way...
When people have differences between them, they are best resolved through negotiation, which can help to settle the differences. This allows agreements to be reached through compromise, and this can be very helpful in avoiding disputes, and breakdown of relationships.
This is applicable to all spheres of life, whether social, commercial or while conducting a business. Disagreements arise when there are differing needs, aims, beliefs and wants and this can lead to conflicts, which are best resolved through negotiation. This can reduce resentments, arguments and dissatisfaction.
Have you ever realized that even the simple act of offering a cup of tea or coffee to a visitor who has dropped into visit you at home, involves some form of negotiation. The offer has to be made, which can be accepted or refused. If the offer is initially refused, you start negotiating the acceptance of the offer by trying to persuade your visitor.
You may do so by saying it is the right time or that you need it and want company or any other reason, which can persuade the visitor to say yes. The visitor may agree to take a small quantity, which again is an aspect of negotiation. If you are offering tea, you may offer a number of various teas that you have, or persuade your visitor to accept what you have. The visitor may then put forward conditions like liking the tea or coffee strong, or require it to be black, hot, or with milk. Some may even negotiate to have a plate of cookies along with the tea or coffee, or you may make the offer on your own...
Negotiation is required when there is any form of disagreement between the interacting parties. Its main premise is that any outcome must be fair and of mutual benefit to both sides...
