Trauma is a leadership issue

Adults spend most of their time at work and trauma is increasingly part of the workplace. We prepare leaders to lead their teams while navigating trauma.

You don’t have to be a therapist to discuss trauma

Our mission is to equip leaders with the confidence and tools they need to lead through trauma in the workplace.

Leading Through Trauma

Leading Through Trauma™ is an intensive development program for leaders who operate in a context of repeated trauma including first responders, journalists, hospitals and mental health centers, nonprofits, and government agencies.

During this six-day course led by Carolyn Murphy and Gretchen Schmelzer, participants join a vibrant cohort of leaders across sectors to develop tools for discussing trauma in the workplace, discover new ways of leading that help build individual and organizational resilience, and strengthen your own leadership capacity to keep doing the work you love.
