In this episode of the Living Out Loud Discussion Series, I chat with Arlene Limas, a lifelong martial artist, Olympic gold medalist, and violence prevention expert. There was so much to learn when we unpacked the spectrum of violence in professional settings. Topics like the concept of 'human safety skills,' barriers to addressing violence in at work, the critical role of bystander intervention, and the challenges faced by middle management in implementing these changes we the highlights for me. I believe there is helpful, practical takeaways for people responsible for and contributing to creating safe and healthy cultures.

In May of 1993, Arlene opened her own school, Power Kix Martial Arts, located in Stafford, breaking the glass ceiling for other women.
