KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM MARIE:

1. Often it is the experiences of trauma that allows us to figure out what we need to do. If it can happen to me, it can happen to other people.

2. Workplace trauma does require healing and introspection to push through.

3. When you’re in difficult situations, instead of asking ourselves “Do I stay” ask “Why do I stay here?”

4. “I am enjoying the sound of my feet walking away from something that no longer serves me.” 

5. When others refuse to acknowledge you, your greatness and gifts, it is always your job to validate yourself.

6. You don’t need external validation to do what you’re doing.

7. Your experiences are real and the value you bring is real, so remind yourself of that when others make you smaller.

8. Trauma directly impacts our mental health.

9. We are not defined by our experiences.

10. People are not their behaviors and they need to hear this.

11. When you deal with trauma at work, remember your first priority is to yourself and your well being.

12. Asking people what they need is a powerful question because they don’t hear it enough.

13. 2 powerful questions for people who work in difficult spaces:

How can I acknowledge you?

What do you need?

14. Once we’re good at understanding and owning our triggers, we can then start to feel empowered when we address what is happening for someone else.

15. Are you grounded enough in who you are and your position that when someone comes at you, you can absorb it. It’s ok if you don’t have the capacity to absorb other peoples stuff! Allow yourself some grace and compassion.
