    I paid over $400 to teach my staff self defense.

    That doesn’t seem like nearly enough money to teach multiple people how to effectively defend themselves.

      Soon after the harassment began, I paid $436 for a two-hour self-defense session. The instructor is scheduled to come to my office to teach my staff self-defense tactics in the event that the situation becomes violent, or if people physically show up here at my office or at my home. The session will focus on a number of methods including verbal de-escalation, active shooter and intruder response training, and escape from common holds.

      She hired a person to do a one-time seminar for her staff. Proper self-defense takes years of dedication and practice. This seems like it was more for optics.
