“I loved your book! I thought I would be learning only about situational awareness and personal safety, two very important subjects, but I thought I already knew most of what I’d be reading about. I’ve read countless book on keeping safe in the past. Your book was so, so much more. You gave detailed examples on HOW to become aware of surroundings and personal circumstances in real life. I wish I had read something like your book decades ago when I was trying (and mainly failing) to navigate boundary issues with friends, family, and employers. I learned so much I can apply to my life today. I also loved your personal stories. I feel I have much more power and confidence as I venture out into this new word I find myself in. Thank you so much for writing this book.”

“Sharp Women is a must read for every woman who wants to take responsibility for her own safety. Kelly Sayre explains why trusting our intuition is critical to staying safe and why it’s our best self defense weapon. She breaks down many different scenarios and situations where we might find ourselves in our day to day lives and shows how to be aware of our surroundings. The Daily Habits suggested at the end of each chapter are very practical and useful in learning situational awareness. This is the first book I’ve read on situational awareness that is written by a woman and from a woman’s perspective which is extremely helpful.”

“Kelly Sayre is just like you, or my sister, or my wife. But there is a notable difference. She decided to take ownership over her personal safety and began a journey investigating the world of personal security for women. Life is full of risk; there is no way to perfectly safeguard your life. But you can learn to make yourself a much less attractive target by being responsible for your own security. This outstanding book distills Kelly’s findings into simple, easy-to-follow tips and tools. It is an invaluable resource for women who want to take ownership of their personal security and, in doing so, perhaps become more empowered in other areas of life. Written by a female for other females, it fills a needed place in the security market. You will be safer if you apply what she shares.”
