Feeling the weight of global unrest and workplace challenges as a leader? Let's dive into the value of trauma-informed leadership in navigating these turbulent times. Trauma-informed leadership isn't just a buzzword; it's a crucial skill set for leaders across all industries. My Lori Adams-Brown's experience translating for a trauma therapist after the 2004 Indonesian tsunami taught her firsthand the impact of trauma on individuals, communities, and workplaces. Understanding the neuroscience behind behavior and leadership has become her passion, and it's clear that creating psychologically safe environments is essential for high performance. She's integrated trauma-informed practices into executive coaching, culture building, and onboarding, and the results have been transformative. The recent insights from our guest Catherine Matisse align with this, emphasizing the need for leaders to become change agents inside organizations, especially in the face of deep conflict and trauma. So, we encourage you to explore trauma-informed leadership and consider how it can enhance your approach to leading teams. If you find these insights valuable, share this post and spark a conversation about the importance of psychological safety in the workplace.

Headed to a #NoKings protest in San Francisco and then to a bbq with some corporate board member friends in Sonoma county. Being values-aligned, making ethical decisions as a citizen and a business woman/board member makes a difference. How are you using your power as a constituent and speaking up at tables where decisions are being made? I stand with my immigrant friends, neighbors and colleagues today and for my immigrant ancestors who came from Wales, Scotland, England and more to make this nation a beautifully diverse one many generations ago. No kings.

💡 What if belonging didn’t mean betraying yourself? What if being “faithful” didn’t mean being silent? What if your voice mattered—just as much as the ones on the stage or mic? 🎙️ On A World of Difference, we’re not building platforms around pastors, gurus, or influencers. We’re building communities where agency is central— Where your story, your wiring, your dreams are not distractions… They’re the assignment. 🌍 This isn’t a podcast to tell you what to think. It’s a space to help you reclaim your voice. To explore how you’re uniquely gifted. To stop appeasing and start aligning with the purpose you carry. It’s an invitation to explore the left brain and the right brain, to explore art museums if that is something you enjoy, like our host Lori Adams-Brown does regularly. It not only has been a key factor in her healing from workplace and religious #trauma, it’s been a place of joy, peace, #inspiration and rest. What are the places you desire to explore either across the street, across the world or within your own mind and heart? You were never meant to fit a mold. You were meant to make a difference. 🎧 Join host @loriadamsbrown and a global community of thinkers, feelers, healers & bridge-builders. Together, we’re unlearning loyalty to systems that silenced us and learning to belong—without losing ourselves. @sfmoma 👇 Link in bio to listen & subscribe. #AWODpodcast #AWorldOfDifference #Belonging #FaithAndJustice #LeadershipDevelopment #SpiritualJourney #VoiceMatters #DeconstructToRebuild #AuthenticLeadership #GlobalVoices #EmotionalHealth #PsychologicalSafety #YouBelongHere

☘️ Your Future is Yours to Write! 🌍🔥 Too often, we let our past define us. But here’s the truth: You are not your mistakes. You are not your failures. You are not your fears. 🚀 Like St. Patrick reminds us, the past is behind you, and your future is wide open. Today is a fresh start. A new opportunity to step into kindness, lead with wisdom, and make the impact only you can make. 💡 Repair is a part of a journey to rid ourselves from complicity and the pain we have caused others. Apologies aren’t enough. Repair is needed. If you owe someone repair for damage you have caused, go begin today to fix what you have broken. If you are waiting for a repair from someone who may never give it, it’s ok to walk on. Don’t wait on a toxic person to be free. Just walk on, into your freedom. 💬 What’s one thing you’re leaving behind as you step into your future? Drop a 🍀 in the comments and let’s move forward together! 🔎 #Leadership #GrowthMindset #StPatrick #WomenInLeadership #Motivation #Livedexperience #Differences #Bedifferent #GlobalLeadership #AWorldOfDifference #MindsetMatters #powerwithin #powerwith #RiseUp #Makeadifference #StPatricksDay
