When we're traumatized, our brain becomes very myopic. We need to be able to see what's going on and also stay safe. People who are most resilient are the ones that have flexible coping styles. The answer to every problem is a person.
If you read the headlines, you know our mental health is precious. But you also know it’s in jeopardy.
As business leaders, what can we do? Plenty.
Today on the podcast, we welcome Dr. Lee Norton, a clinical social worker and trauma expert. She helps us understand the role mental health plays at work. What is trauma and how does it show up in our employees? What do you do if you work for someone who lacks empathy? How can you protect your own mental health and look out for the people around you, too?
It’s a timely conversation with loads of insight for business leaders who want to create a safe and nurturing work environment.
