Amrita is a former Fortune 500 VP who has devoted 22+ years of her career to helping organizations thrive amid crises. Her work is dedicated to providing education and practical solutions for individuals and communities worldwide. Tell us about your personal experience of living through trauma and how it changed you? How can pain lead to growth? The pandemic is still largely under-processed. What makes you say that? Should we not move on? And denial is not a choice folks seem to be making. Do people want to process what they experienced during COVID? What were your research findings? Why do we need a two-way to process pain? How can and did pain lead to growth? Amrita Subramanian Amrita is a former Fortune 500 VP who has devoted 22+ years of her career to helping organizations thrive amid crises. Currently, she teaches at the University of Pennsylvania, focusing on posttraumatic growth through the pandemic, and has also almost completed her Ph.D on post-traumatic growth in adults through COVID-19. As the world faced COVID, the first collective trauma/crisis disruption in modern-day history, Amrita launched a first-of-its-kind study to explore how pain leads to growth and analyze our ability to heal ourselves during an unparalleled crisis. Her work is dedicated to providing education and practical solutions for individuals and communities worldwide. Her lessons draw from the evidence-based practices of everyday people who have shown heartfelt humility and wisdom in the face of crisis and devastation. The research study has amassed global participation, and she is convinced that it will show the pandemic strengthened us and renewed our sense of identity, purpose, and community. Amrita knows well that there is growth from trauma based on what she's endured in her own life. At the age of five, she was abandoned in a convent. The trauma and abuse she endured throughout that time resulted in selective mutism until she was 11 years old, among other things. Amrita is now using her voice to help guide humanity and speak out about the many facets of pain and what good could come from them.
