Executive Support and Logistics

A guest walks into your client’s private event wearing Meta smart glasses.

You haven’t seen them recording. But those glasses could capture your principal, their guests, and the inside of their home.

As the executive protection agent, what’s your next move?

Approaching too quickly could create an unnecessary scene. Waiting leaves the privacy concern unresolved. How do you address it discreetly?

In this episode of “What Would You Do? in Executive Protection,” Christian West and Joe LaSorsa discuss:

▪️ Confirming whether the glasses can record.
▪️ Understanding the guest’s relationship with your principal.
▪️ Getting context from the executive assistant or household staff.
▪️ Approaching the guest without making accusations.
▪️ Taking action without overreacting.

Recognizing camera-equipped smart glasses is one part of the challenge. Deciding how to respond puts your judgment and communication skills to the test.

Your principal sees an angry crowd outside and says, “Let me go talk to them.”

You have two EP agents—and no one outside assessing the situation.

What do you do next?

Going straight out means entering an environment you haven’t assessed. Asking the principal to wait means knowing how to explain that pause.

In the latest What Would You Do? in Executive Protection, Christian West and Joe LaSorsa discuss buying time, reading the crowd, and planning how to get your principal back inside if things escalate.

Your principal is still in his hotel room.

The meeting begins in 10 minutes—and 800 employees are already waiting downstairs.

Do you knock on the door? Call him? Send a text? Contact the executive assistant? Or simply continue waiting?

Handle it the wrong way and you could add unnecessary stress or damage the trust you’ve built with the principal. Say nothing, and an entire company could be left waiting.

In this episode of “What Would You Do? in Executive Protection,” Christian West and Joe LaSorsa discuss the right way for an EP professional to handle this difficult situation.
