Notes on Resilience 109: Creating Trauma-Informed Cultures, with Katharine Manning
Can the power of empathy and compassion truly transform your workplace?
Join us in this episode with Katharine Manning, who shares her expertise in cultivating trauma-informed environments. We discuss:
- Definitions and differences between empathy and compassion
- The importance of understanding the “why” behind culture changes
- The impact of fear-based cultures on employee well-being
- The gap between the intentions of executive leadership and the reality experienced by employees.
- Building trust through clarity, consistency, and choice
- The importance of embedding empathy and compassion into an organization's culture
We also examine the complex landscape of leadership and the often-overlooked aspect of self-care in leadership, detailing how its neglect can ripple down to affect entire teams.
Katharine Manning provides training and consultation on building trauma-informed workplaces, and is the author of The Empathetic Workplace: Five Steps to a Compassionate, Calm, and Confident Response to Trauma on the Job. She has worked on issues of trauma and victimization for more than 25 years including 15 years at the Justice Department, where she was a Senior Attorney Advisor consulting on victim issues in cases like the Madoff investment fraud and the Boston Marathon bombing.
