Speaking and Presentations
Have You Heard of the Hat or Duck Lady?
You found her.
Over the years of building Safety Positive Foundation, there has been a woman known for wearing a top hat, handing out tea, and sharing ducks.
And yes—there is a method to it.
Everything is intentional and designed to create more safety-positive moments in the world.
This Is Not Your Typical Safety Talk
This is not a presentation built on fear.
It is not focused on what could go wrong or what people should be afraid of.
Instead, it focuses on choice, clarity, and real-world application.
You may see a top hat, a swing skirt, or knee-high boots—but that is not for attention.
It is part of the philosophy: safety has to work in real life, exactly as people are, where they are.
A Different Kind of Conversation
Most safety conversations are built around fear-based messaging.
This approach is different.
It is grounded in trauma-informed care, disability-centered practice, and lived experience.
It focuses on:
- Choice
- Confidence
- Understanding
- Real-world application
Safety is not something imposed.
It is something built.
What Your Audience Will Experience
Every presentation is designed to give participants more than information.
It is designed to shift how people think about safety, themselves, and what is possible.
Attendees leave with practical insights they can begin applying in real life.
Areas of Focus
Common speaking topics include:
- Consent and boundaries
- How mental health impacts safety
- Building safety using the Universal Design for Safety method
- Supporting disabled individuals and survivors
- Real-world application of safety skills
With lived experience as a survivor of domestic violence and extensive training in self-defense and disability-centered education, Amy bridges both personal and professional perspectives.
This allows her to speak to both individuals and organizations in a grounded, practical way.
Adaptable for Any Audience
Presentations can be adapted based on audience size, setting, and goals.
From small group trainings to large conference keynotes, the core message remains the same:
Safety can be built in ways that fit real people in real life.
More Than a Talk
This is not just a presentation.
It is a shift in perspective.
A shift in how people think about safety, how they see themselves, and what they believe is possible.
