Retta Shealey is the founder and president of Training2BeSafe Inc. and has over 20 years of corporate experience developing and delivering presentations and training to diverse groups ranging in size from small consumer groups to multi-national companies. Throughout her career in various leadership, marketing and operations roles, she has received more than 30 awards for performance excellence.

A need was seen for a short women's safety program that was realistic, accessible and comprehensive - but at the same time, one that was interesting and empowering, not terrifying.

Training2BeSafe, Inc. was created in 2004 with the belief that all women regardless of age, size or fitness level should possess the skills and confidence to handle themselves, and manage potentially risky situations. Retta wants to inspire and empower women with the belief that their very own mental and physical capabilities can be the best sources for their protection and well-being.

The information and research used in the programs is drawn from an array of relevant and reputable safety, crime, self-defense, government, law enforcement, campus and rape prevention sources.

The physical techniques taught in this program are simple and effective, and are drawn from several disciplines. Retta is a certified Rape Escape instructor, trained in the unique "Fight Like A Girl" defense and escape methods taught by the Women's Self-Defense Institute and she teaches several basic Rape Escape techniques in her program. Retta continually refines and improves upon what she teaches in an effort to be relevant to women of all ages and fitness levels.
