Episode Summary:

In Part 4 of the Trauma-Informed Leadership Masterclass Series, Coach Liz Blanding explores a topic often overlooked in professional development: organizational trauma. In this eye-opening episode, listeners will learn how trauma exists not just in people, but in systems and workplace cultures, and how it can be healed through trauma-informed leadership practices.

Key Talking Points:

• Organizational Trauma Defined: Trauma isn’t just personal—it’s cultural and structural. It’s embedded in how an organization operates.
  
  
• Warning Signs of Workplace Trauma: Silence, high turnover, emotional outbursts, disengagement, or chronic micromanagement.
  
  
• Triggers in the Workplace: Unaddressed trauma leads to disproportionate emotional reactions—often misunderstood by untrained leaders.
  
  
• The Trauma-Informed Shift: Effective leaders ask, “What happened here?” instead of “What’s wrong with them?”
  
  
• How Organizations Begin to Heal: Consistency, clarity, empathy, and predictable leadership are the building blocks of healing organizational culture.

Episode Summary:

In Part 3 of the Trauma-Informed Leadership Masterclass, Coach Liz Blanding focuses on the mindset shifts necessary for trauma-informed leadership. This episode takes listeners deep into the role that beliefs—especially limiting ones rooted in trauma—play in a person’s leadership capacity and emotional recovery. Through the lens of Self-Determination Theory, Liz highlights how leaders can foster environments of autonomy, competence, and connection.

Key Talking Points:

• Limiting Beliefs from Trauma: “I’m not good enough.” “Success isn’t for people like me.” These narratives sabotage leadership and healing.
  
  
  
• Leadership Reflection: Are you leading from fear or vision? Burnout or belief?
  
  
  
• Self-Determination Theory: Unpacks the three core needs for psychological healing and growth: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
  
  
  
• Empowered Leadership: Trauma-informed leaders create safe spaces for others to regain agency, confidence, and connection.
