In this episode, Tristan Keelan, founder of Qi Folio and Director of Development and Growth at Informed, offers a powerful perspective on trauma-informed leadership through the lens of data and continuous quality improvement (CQI).

With a background rooted in organizational systems and development, Tristan explores how trauma-informed  and cultural humility strategies must extend beyond clinical spaces to shape the entire culture of an organization. He challenges how we typically engage with data and proposes a reframing rooted in safety, collaboration, and curiosity.
