Hey friends! I'm back with a raw and vulnerable new episode. As leaders everywhere deal with employee burnout, workplace conflict and global unrest, we're being asked to hold more space than ever before. I get it - the weight feels heavy. But here's a reassuring truth: you're not alone. In this week's episode, I walk through my learnings about trauma-informed leadership from an intensely formative experience: translating for a world-renowned therapist in the aftermath of the 2004 Indonesian tsunami. I'll also share insights from thought leaders like Catherine Matisse on becoming an organizational change agent amidst deep conflict. If your team seems stuck in fight/flight mode or you could use encouragement in your efforts to foster psychological safety, this one's for you. I'm getting vulnerable about the personal stories and neuroscience realizations that have shaped my approach to leading with empathy and courage when it matters most.
