Navigating Workplace Stress and Trauma: Practices for Executives and HR Leaders and Professionals

We are at a crucial moment in our global work culture. Leaders must meet the rising needs and challenges of mental health and well-being. As we navigate rapid changes in the modern world — from hybrid work cultures to pandemics, wars, and overwhelming stress and anxiety — it is critical for human-centered HR professionals, or “people leaders”, to become trauma-informed. 

More than ever, people leaders need tools to manage their own stress, burnout, and mental health challenges while they support their teams and executives through similar obstacles. 

In this dynamic workshop, Manuela Mischke-Reeds, Justin Milano, and Rebecca Crotts integrate didactic and interactive learning with guided somatic practices and meditations to help leaders become trauma-informed while also supporting their own healing process.

This workshop will offer tools to help you:

• Renew and reboot yourself to be better equipped to support your people.
• Learn what it means to become a trauma-informed leader.

• Examine deeply held belief systems on stress.
• Discover self-care practices that you can apply to your personal and professional life to stay balanced in your role as a leader.
• Explore somatic and trauma-informed techniques that help you connect with your inner resources.
• Network with like-minded leaders and people executives and share best practices to be part of this new paradigm of compassion, mental health, and well-being in the workplace.
• Learn how you can help your workplace become psychologically safe.

This workshop is geared toward executives, people leaders, and HR professionals who wish to better understand and navigate stress and trauma in the workplace.
