Can you learn to be a super recognizer?Where does or would this skill benefit EP?Can you match other pieces of information to a super recognizer skill?How fast can someone with this gift locate a face?What might prevent them from accurately recognizing a face?

Professionally, you might be doing the 'correct' thing but is it the right thing in the eyes of UHNW parents? You're the protector and not the nanny but you still need to gain compliance and cooperation when protecting children. And so it was a pleasure to welcome Sandra Adiarte, Founder of Apollo Synergetics to discuss:
What communication styles should you employ with toddlers when compared to teenagers?How can you communicate high risk threats to small children?How should you avoid becoming a 'buddyguard'?What additional traits or skills are UHNW parents looking for in EP when deploying around their children?What risk factors do usual EP operations not take into consideration when looking after children?

What if the modernization of EP is more about the protector themselves and less about the type of service offered? Following the last four years we have seen a push to include more desk based intelligence services but can anything replace the 'last ten feet'?
Join us where we review a live recording from the Ninth Annual Executive Security and CP Technology Forum in London with a fantastic international panel with representatives from the UK, Mexico, US and Germany to address the balance between the modernization of the service and those serving:
What new services will clients ask for in 2024?How can you get direct access to the principal to ask what they actually want?How is the EP scene today in Germany, UK, US and Mexico?What does the modernization of the protector actually look like?Does modernization have to mean the adoption of technology?

Are Master's degrees designed for your employment prospects or personal fulfilment?
This week, we’re joined by Craig Smith from Minerva Elite Performance, who shares his thoughts on the importance and value of higher education within the security industry.
In this episode, we examine how higher qualifications like Masters or PhDs could potentially differentiate professionals in this field, add value to their careers, and even provide a 'key' to open doors to opportunities.
Craig emphasizes the importance of knowing one's purpose or the 'why' before pursuing higher education and the values of institutional support and engaging subject specialists.
The conversation also touches on the impact of business and management education, and we’ll try to break down some of the perceived 'barriers' around higher education.
Tune in to hear this wide-ranging discussion including:The Allure of Tertiary Qualifications for ProtectorsThe Role of Higher Education in Enhancing EmployabilityIs there a Danger of Overqualifying Yourself?How can protectors differentiate between higher education providers?What do all the levels actually mean?
