Trauma-Informed Leadership
Trauma-Informed Leadership Course II
with Thomas Huebl & Team
For Communities, NGOs and Aid Organizations
MaY - SEPTEMBER 2022
About the Course
This course offers a refinement and deepening of our first Trauma-informed Leadership Course from 2021. We will offer additional Integration Sessions, Affinity Group Sessions and Practice Groups in Spanish, Ukrainian and German.
As trauma-informed leaders, we develop our skills for systemic healing, becoming more able to integrate the past, fulfil our potential and create new opportunities and possibilities with our teams.
When experience meets us in our open, vulnerable and responsive aspects, it becomes water, fluid life. I can respond to my life circumstances as a leader. But if snowflakes fall onto ice and my life experiences meet me in my trauma, I can’t respond to the life circumstance, and then we call it a problem, a difficulty, a challenge…
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Tools for the cultivation of presence, resilience and spaciousness - nurturing self-growth and compassion
Tools and frameworks to refine our leadership and develop trauma-informed guidelines and healing architectures
Willingness to engage with ‘difficulties’ as the way, rather than in the way - cultivating curiosity and catalysing latent intelligence
Ability to engage more skillfully with team and community challenges, including the ability to recognize and respond more adequately to symptoms of stress and trauma
Increased capacity for relational and systems sensing - the ability to meet the communities, organisations and environments we serve with a higher level of response-ability
Access to a global network of like-minded conscientious innovators and change-makers
If everybody looks through broken glass, then together, we are looking at a world that looks broken. When I notice my crack in my window, and you notice yours, and we start healing our cracks, then we begin to look at the world through clear glass. And that’s what trauma healing does. It starts unifying the world.
