Hosted by Rosemary Davies-Janes. Produced by J'aime Rothbard.

This episode explores the role of trauma awareness in leadership and organizational development. By integrating psycho-spiritual insights, Amy's work supports leaders in fostering healthier, more sustainable, workplaces which can lead to individual and company-wide healing and transformation. Her initiatives invite leaders to explore their early traumas and free themselves from the old survival strategies and untreated traumas that affect their daily decision-making and organizational dynamics.

In this deep, rich conversation, Amy shares her vision for future organizations, plus explains how: - Addressing a leader's collective trauma can evoke more compassionate, soul-ful leadership - To reconcile the sacred and the secular in business practices - Implanting uniquely functioning microcosms within organizations inspires holistic cultural change - To expand the prevalent short-term profit lens to encompass social and environmental impact - Certain organizations are addressing the harm they've caused to people and our planet

Amy concludes with reflections on our current transition into a world rife with complex, chaotic problems, and how we can best fulfill the increasing demand for healing that will be vital in addressing the collective trauma our global society faces.
