Description
Life doesn’t stop when the workday starts.
Employees come to work carrying more than their job responsibilities. Stress, family challenges, financial pressure, caregiving, loss, change, difficult experiences, and sometimes trauma can all affect how people show up at work.
For leaders, that can create some difficult questions. How do you support someone who is struggling while still holding them accountable? How do you respond to changes in behavior or performance without making assumptions about what is behind them? And where is the line between being a compassionate leader and becoming too involved in an employee’s personal situation?
In this free virtual session, we’ll explore how stress, adversity, and trauma can affect the way people experience work, and how thoughtful leadership practices can help create the conditions for resilience, trust, accountability, and strong performance.
We’ll also introduce practical trauma-informed workplace principles, not as therapy and not as a reason to lower expectations, but as another set of tools for leading people more effectively through the hard stuff.
You’ll leave with practical ideas for:
• Recognizing how stress and adversity may show up at work without diagnosing or making assumptions
• Responding to difficult behavior with greater clarity and skill
• Balancing compassion with appropriate boundaries and accountability
• Creating greater predictability, trust, and psychological safety
• Supporting resilience while maintaining clear performance expectations
Who should attend: Business owners, executives, managers, supervisors, HR professionals, and anyone responsible for leading people.
Format: Live, virtual, 60-minute learning session via Microsoft Teams.
