Our Research Projects: Advancing Trauma-Informed Leadership
At the intersection of workplace dynamics and trauma-informed leadership, our research delves into the hidden factors that shape professional environments. Whether through data-driven analysis or personal storytelling, our work sheds light on the unseen forces influencing workplace culture, leadership effectiveness, and employee well-being.
Trauma & the Workplace: An Ongoing Study
What happens when personal trauma – whether childhood experiences, past toxic workplaces, or life-altering events – enters the professional sphere? How do these experiences shape leadership, conflict resolution, and career progression?
I’m currently conducting 1-on-1 interviews to explore these questions. If you’ve ever felt the impact of past experiences at work, I’d love to hear your story. Your insights will contribute to a better understanding of how organizations can support employees and create truly trauma-informed workplaces.
By engaging with our research, you’re helping us redefine workplace culture and leadership – one conversation at a time.
Understanding the Erosion of Psychological Safety in the Workplace (2024)
In 2024, I sent out a survey on Understanding Stressors in the workplace. The questions on the survey were pulled from the list of common workplace traumas and triggers found in my book, Trauma-Informed Leadership: Navigating Trauma and Triggers to Build Resilient and Successful Teams to determine quantitively – rather than anecdotally – the rates of those traumas and triggers in the workplace.
