LEADING THROUGH TRAUMA
Building on last week's WKB, this week's share should be helpful to managers and leaders who are wondering how to support their team members who are struggling and experiencing individual or collective trauma as a result of these challenging times.
My dear coaching colleague Katie Kurtz has a podcast dedicated to what it means to be trauma-informed. In this episode, she breaks down 5 considerations for supporting ourselves and others during a time of individual or collective trauma.
