Trauma-informed Leadership Course with Thomas Hübl
As leaders, we are called to raise our awareness of the multifaceted nature of trauma and understand its impact on us, our teams, and our work in the world. Awareness is the first step in a cultural shift from trauma-inducing, to trauma-informed and, finally, trauma-integrating organizations.
The Pocket Project is offering this self-study online course, building on our summer course 2021, to develop trauma-informed awareness and strengthen our sources of resilience and sensitivity. As leaders, we aim to build the future of our teams and organisations on solid, and not fragmented, foundations.
This course will allow you to expand your awareness of your life, organisation and society to include those movements that take place below the surface and give rise to your every-day experience. We often wish to free ourselves from recurring patterns of friction and finding ways to express our love and service more genuinely and effectively. Instead of being caught in the symptoms, you will acquire the ability to turn your gaze to the unseen layers and trace back the lines of creation to their origins.
