Testimonials

• I want to truly thank you and your team for stopping by! It was a pleasure to meet everyone, and get an in-depth insight to how we can improve are overall plan, if a problem were to ever arise. I think for myself it was a major eye opener, because I am the first contact once you walk through our doors. The thought of not having a plan for those first 3-7 min before the police arrive is a scary thought and overwhelming. From the side of the admin team, I know it really hit home for how we’re set up here and for our new building. The points highlighted in the presentation are a good starting part for our team to assess where and how we need to protect ourselves and others in the building. I am hoping once we’ve settled in our new building, we can sit down with your team again and see how we have progressed with the information received.

• I like Russ’s approach because he didn’t use fear at all. He was relaxed and knowledgeable and I left the seminar feeling empowered and confident, not afraid.

• One Back Zebra’s physical infrastructure audit helped me prioritize capital improvements that will increase morale at my company and limit our liabilities

• Troy Gilmore is the best! His report helped us take immediate action to prevent unwanted visitors from entering our building.

Our Story

One Back Zebra was devised by two fathers who dealt with dangers that most parents never have to ponder when they traveled with American children on a service trip to Kenya in 2014.

After witnessing an explosion at a Kenyan marketplace, one of the fathers realized that average American workers are not situationally aware enough to protect themselves or their customers from a random act of workplace violence or, what's worse, a planned one.

Deep in the Maasai Mara our founders watched a zebra warn its herd about the approach of a lion just by using its ears and making quiet sounds. When the lion finally pounced out of the tall grass, the zebras were already running.

Our founders returned to the US with a plan to create a safety seminar company that would bridge the gap between the psychology of violence prevention and modern techniques of emergency response.

All OBZ instructors, consultants and advisors have reached the pinnacle of their respective professions and share a collective desire to preempt workplace violence in their community.

One Back Zebra's methodology was written by top-tier law enforcement officials and clinical and organizational psychologists. All of our trainers are certified by federal or regional law enforcement agencies.
