Trauma-Informed Leadership: Core Practice

6 hours  ·  Intermediate  ·  Pairs well with Foundations of Trauma-Informed Leadership

Awareness is the beginning; practice is where it lives. This full-day program moves from understanding trauma to leading in ways that account for it — building the practical skills leaders need to hold difficult conversations, respond to distress and disclosure, and create teams where people feel genuinely safe contributing.

Central to the day is the leader’s own nervous system: you can’t create calm you don’t have. We’ll work with regulation as a leadership skill — how your own state shapes the room, and how to stay grounded and present under pressure — then turn to the interpersonal skills that make trauma-informed principles part of everyday leadership.

What you’ll explore
