Transforming Workplaces with Trauma-Informed Leadership

Why does your talented colleague suddenly miss deadlines? Why do organizational changes trigger profound anxiety? In this episode of Your Trauma-Wise Career Guide, I explore the hidden prevalence of trauma in workplaces and its powerful impact on professional performance and well-being.

As a trauma survivor turned trauma-informed career coach, I reveal why traditional management approaches often feel disconnected for employees carrying trauma histories. You'll discover the comprehensive SAMHSA framework for trauma-informed leadership that transforms workplace dynamics and creates environments where healing and resilience can flourish.

Key insights include:
* Understanding trauma's invisible influence on workplace behavior
* The six core principles of trauma-informed management
* How trauma disrupts professional relationships and communication
* Practical implementation strategies that honor both productivity and healing
* Creating psychological safety within organizational structures

Welcome to Your Trauma-Wise Career Guide, the podcast reimagining career development for trauma survivors. I'm your host, Cyndi Bennett, founder of the Resilient Career Academy, helping leaders create workplaces where everyone—regardless of their trauma history—can truly thrive.
