Break the Cycle: The Role of Trauma-Informed Leaders
Season 10 Episode 20
Guest: Stephanie Lemek, Founder: The Wounded Workforce
Your staff are probably dealing with trauma: in the U.S. alone, 70% of adults faced at least one traumatic experience. Those experiences manifest in different ways in the workplace, from perfectionism to absenteeism. Our trauma reactions are as unique as our fingerprints.
Being a trauma-informed leader can help your team – and, ultimately, your organization. Guest Stephanie Lemek draws on her deep experience in HR to share how to shape a trauma-informed workplace.
Here’s what Stephanie and host Maureen Metcalf cover:
- The ways leaders can help team members deal with trauma…
- …and the ways they shouldn’t – such as playing the role of therapist.
- The seven principles of trauma-informed workplaces.
