Is a learning and development hub designed to transform today’s business environments by leveraging advocacy, research, and education to develop trauma-informed organizations. Our mission is to inspire performance by overcoming contemporary management practices and creating healthy leadership at all levels of the organization, thereby creating a competitive advantage with both human and financial impact.
Advocacy – A collective effort to support and elevate the voices, needs, and rights of individuals, groups, and teams affected by trauma and/or adverse lived experiences.
Research – Evidence-based research that brings a better understanding of vital leadership concepts that help develop better practices, policies, and systems for today’s multigenerational and multicultural workplaces.
Education – Training and development designed to enhance the understanding of trauma and its pervasive force in today’s business environments, and how to effectively lead for both human performance, and business results.
What is Trauma-Informed Leadership?
At its core, trauma-informed leadership is an approach that embraces the idea that trauma is a pervasive force that can reverberate through all aspects of one’s life.
-
A mass shooting rocks a community. A natural disaster brings death and destruction. A global pandemic upends our way of life. Recent polling suggests 70 percent of adults in the U.S. have experienced some type of traumatic event in their lives, and that number is even higher for those with high-stress jobs like law enforcement, first responders, and healthcare workers.
In the workplace, people who have experienced trauma can have trouble concentrating, they’re prone to making errors in judgment, and they’re at increased risk for accidents and injury. As a result, trauma can cost organizations more than $120 billion each year.
-
Trauma-informed leadership is for anyone who leads, manages or works with others. Whether you’re a supervisor, team leader, or executive, the trauma-informed leadership approach will transform your leadership.
-
Leaders must take the trauma-informed approach to avoid retraumatizing individuals and groups whenever supporting employees, engaging in conflict resolution, creating policies, conducting incident/accident investigations, or during one-to-one coaching/counseling interactions.
-
Whatever the industry, organizational leaders should learn to recognize the signs of trauma and invest in education and training to create safe and supportive environments. Doing so will cultivate resilience, promote healing, and inspire positive change.
