The Hard Skills The Body Knows: Trauma-Informed Strategies to Shape a More Human-Centered World, with Laura Phoenix
We often talk about boundary setting and leading with authenticity and integrity as ways to create healthier work cultures. But why? What is the deeper reason behind this and how can leaders, especially those holding marginalized identities, attend to their own inner experiences to ultimately shape a more human-centered world? That's what Laura Phoenix will be sharing this in episode and we explore the the intersection of trauma-informed practices, leadership, and organizational health.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
This episode explores the intersection of trauma-informed practices, leadership, and organizational health. Many leaders holding marginalized identities face multiple traumatic stressors in life that are often replicated in high-pressure work environments, and in a number of cases that can add up to invisible pressure that harms our wellbeing. We'll talk about how pressures to conform to dominant culture might show up unseen, how those might be felt, and how that feeling might lead us to lead more authentically or to leave organizational structures and leadership roles that perpetuate harm. We'll also discuss how boundary repair work and somatic healing methods can help leaders create healthier organizations or exist in less healthy organizations.
