High Performance Longevity

How to Navigate Difficult Conversations, Master Situational Awareness, De-Escalate Conflict, & Live as a PeaceWalker | Craig Gray


Listen Later

People often learn martial arts to protect themselves and others. As any conflict resolution expert will tell you, violence should be your absolute last resort.

Protection starts long before physicality. The most influential leaders diffuse tense situations by going in with an unusual mindset and awareness. They're also great communicators.

Our guest came up with the "PeaceWalker System", which gives you an entire suite of tools to lead, protect, and live confidently.

  • Key takeaways
    • Everyone agrees that life is precious until a conflict arises and your counter-party does something wrong. We must separate their life's value from their actions and behaviors
    • Most bad situations happen out of opportunity and generally could have been diffused. Awareness makes you a hard target
    • Defense starts with mindset, then awareness, then influence, then action. Combat is the last resort
    • Krav Maga is easy to learn, and actually works to defend yourself where traditional martial arts would not
