Editor’s note: With the number of current and upcoming industry conferences/ travels, here is a checklist — based on a guide from our head of security (and former Secret Service agent) to keeping yourself and your employees safe. You can download a PDF version of this checklist to share in forums/ boards, team emails, messaging groups, and more here.

Step 1: Start with the right mindset
Always establish what “normal” looks like and mentally tag any behaviors that aren’t.
Distance is safety. Choose distance over confrontation: if someone’s acting off, move away or change your setting.
Trust your instincts when something doesn’t feel right.
