Trauma-informed Leadership: A Virtual Workshop

Time:   2 hour online workshop

Overview: Trauma-Informed Leadership understands and appreciates the emotional scars that people may be struggling with. These might have been triggered by events of the past 3 years, or may result from people’s wider life experiences. Approaching leadership with an understanding of trauma helps us see and treat others, and ourselves, with more empathy and compassion. It can also help protect against stress and burnout.

This virtual workshop is not about diagnosing or psycho-analysing yourself or your colleagues. It is not about being a therapist in your leadership role. It is about creating a working environment which is supportive to people who have experienced trauma – and that may include you.

Outcomes: This workshop will offer you an understanding of what trauma is and how it can be experienced in many different ways and from very diverse perspectives, a practical toolkit to help you prepare, protect and care for yourself as a leader in the demanding months ahead, a safe space to explore what compassionate leadership means in practice and practical ways to model and create psychological safety in your teams.
