E84: Barbara Jordan - Never Let your Guard Down

Barbara Jordan has traveled the world as an elite athlete, coach,
instructor, and broadcaster.  As a former collegiate All
American, National Champion and medalist as a USA Softball Team
member and coach, Barb is experienced in skilled learning and
teaching.  As a victim of predatory violence, Barb channeled
her experience and knowledge gained through years of athletic
participation and coaching into studying and teaching the skills
of vigilance training. Always Bev provides the platform through
which Barb is able to share her passion of educating others on
the importance of personal safety and keen awareness in everyday
life. Her commitment to preventing violence against females and
her astute teaching in delivering the message of trusting your
intuition and recognizing warning signs, has already positively
affected many lives. Barb welcomes the opportunity to share her
knowledge with you.
 


Barbara has taken the lessons and heartache from her sister’s
tragedy on the road to foster a nationwide effort to promote life
skills necessary in all we do, so females especially are never
placing themselves in vulnerable positions. In addition to the
personal safety courses she teaches throughout the country — both
in person and now on webinars — she has founded ‘Always
BEV’ a foundation who’s name honors her sister Beverly,
and encourages all to ‘Always BE Vigilant’ .
Since 2018 she has made a passionate commitment to educate women
on predatory behavior and how to avoid being a victim of such a
crime — educating participants on safety skills that can
influence and empower individuals in a positive way.


Most recently, she also started a podcast that tells the
story, but more so expands on the ‘Ripple Effect’ of which crimes
like these often extend within family, friends and other
acquaintances — how life changes in an instant — and most
important, providing lessons to live more safely.


Barbara, who has taught thousands of women and young females
to create a plan of action, especially through daily routines,
recognizes that in today’s world, there are daily assaults that
victimize and sometimes end the lives of women and teenagers
throughout the country. She is a social impact hero, working to
make an important change.
