Manager Workshops – June 2021

Emotional Trauma -- Friday, June 11, 2021 at 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM via Zoom

After a traumatic event, our default response is common and understandable: “I want peace. I want things back to normal. I want all this over.” However, in tumultuous times, it may take longer to regroup. Content includes:

  • Ways to better connect with themselves and others, especially during unsettling times
  • Gaining control over their inner circle and the mindsets that accompany that gathering
  • Learning where they are on the journey to emotional wellbeing, and ways to get unstuck
  • Taking power back from the “trigger” by choosing a different response
  • Breaking stigma, deception, and the isolation that can accompany emotional upheaval
  • How your availability is your currency
  • How to understand where your team is on the grid of shock/denial/curiosity/acceptance
  • How to engage and better understand the emotional landscape

  • Signs and causes of low morale
  • Impact of low morale on the organization
