Some examples of the subjects we can cover are:
How psychological trauma impacts the bottom line
In this keynote speech/workshop we explore how the psychological trauma of your workforce will be showing up in the workplace and impacting on the performance of staff and the company as a whole.
We explain how organisations taking a trauma-informed approach can benefit from improved creativity, increased productivity and a direct uplift to the bottom line.
Why psychological trauma is a DEI issue
In this talk, we outline how - for too long - the impact of psychological trauma has been seen as a psychiatric issue to be dealt with behind closed doors in a medical setting - and all but ignored in the workplace.
Given the psychological and physiological impact of trauma across all groups, a truly inclusive workplace is one that recognises the prevalence of trauma and works to create a culture of psychological safety.
In particular, it is crucial for DEI leaders and managers to understand the intersectionality of trauma, race and gender - and recognise the increased risk and consequences of trauma for marginalised groups.
Psychological safety and why it’s crucial for a successful business
When people feel that the leadership of a business is managing and controlling them through fear or out of fear - then they don’t feel able to take risks.
By creating psychological safety, organisations create a culture within which people feel safe to be themselves, they have permission to make mistakes, which allows for creativity and innovation.
This kind of culture encourages team members to help and support one another and seek out opportunities for collaboration to improve the overall performance of the business.
