Live Interactive Workshop on Zoom – June 25th from 12-4pm EST

When we know better, we do better.

This workshop is for organizations ready to lead with clarity, care, and emotional intelligence. It goes beyond traditional leadership models by helping participants understand how stress and trauma—past or present—shape the way people show up at work. We will explore how to recognize nervous system responses, reduce reactivity in themselves and others, and foster environments where safety, trust, and accountability can thrive side by side.

The greatest strategy we have in connecting with others and creating psychologically safe workplaces is ourselves.

Being trauma-informed isn’t a toolbox we open when we need to—it’s a shift in how we see ourselves and those we lead. When leaders learn to notice their own stress responses and create space for regulation and reflection, they become more grounded, present, and effective. This change ripples outward: conversations become more productive, conflict becomes easier to navigate, and team members feel valued and empowered. Whether you’re managing change, building culture, or simply wanting to lead better, this workshop offers a powerful new lens for leadership that creates lasting impact.

Learning objectives:

  • Explore a clear definition of trauma & understand the types and roots of trauma
  • Understand how the nervous system developed and why we feel the effects of this evolutionary process today and during difficult conversations
  • Understand the concepts of self-regulation and dysregulation, and how they can present at work
  • Survival care vs. self-care & trauma-informed boundary-setting
  • Identify “triggers” and process how to manage dysregulation at work
  • Discover how trauma-informed leadership can support teams in communication, productivity and coherence

Take-away strategies and tools:

  • The language of trauma and how using it well can remove shame, stigma and increase regulation on teams and at work
  • Self-regulation practices
  • The Window of Tolerance & Hand Model of the Brain to understand dysregulation
  • The 4R model of supporting someone (and ourselves!) in moments of dysregulation
  • Strategies to co-create and support safe spaces and conversations at work with people who have already experienced trauma

*Note: This session will take place on Zoom and will include breakout rooms, group discussion, and other engagement opportunities. To respect the privacy of all attendees, this session will not be recorded.
