Rising to the Challenge: Leading w/ a Trauma Inclusive Lens Part 1

Better Nonprofit Management Training Series

Deepen understanding of the impact of trauma and gain tools to care for yourself and your colleagues

The NonProfit Center

Centering on Care during Crisis as Leaders:As leaders moving through this current political dystopia, people may be in a state of freeze (not knowing what to do and feeling stuck), fight (moving in urgent and reactive ways), flight (wanting to run from the challenges) or fawn (saying “yes” to please people and avoid conflict). This climate threatens our material reality (e.g. resources to do mission-driven work) and our physiological core and can prevent us from leading from a place of equity, and justice. How do we (better) center care for ourselves, organizational staff and communities?It is important to recenter, check in within ourselves, and to act on the value of care. How may we tend to fear, anxiety, confusion, or hopelessness through listening to our body and be attuned internally? Through settling ourselves first like the airplane phrase, “put on your oxygen mask first before assisting others,” we can then think more clearly, strategically and thoughtfully about our work and our people. In order to lead well with care, we need to understand the causes and impacts of trauma and learn ways to hold, and serve our organization and communities through a trauma-informed lens. Rising to the Challenge: Leading with a Trauma Inclusive Lens PART 1DescriptionPeople managers are facing extraordinary challenges in this current moment. The threats to our work and the personal impact mean that people need even more support and the work requires constant strategic repositioning. It is absolutely essential that leaders understand the traumatic impact of our current socio-political landscape on ourselves and our teams. Having a lens of trauma inclusion will allow us to face these challenges with tools that allow us to care for ourselves and care for our colleagues. Participants will deepen their understanding of the impact of trauma on themselves as leaders, as well as their colleagues, and will learn principles that they can apply to support themselves and their colleagues to lead effectively through times of fear, stress and trauma. Learning ObjectivesParticipants will better understand:<ul><li>Trauma and how it impacts the body and behavior in a work setting</li><li>Themselves and their own conscious and unconscious responses to trauma</li></ul> Target AudienceNonprofit leaders, and managersParticipants are invited and encouraged to attend Rising to the Challenge: Leading with a Trauma Inclusive Lens PART 2 About the Trainer(s)Rebecca Jackson is a clinically-trained social worker, facilitator, teacher, consultant, and coach. Her career began in a small Mattapan church where she served as pastor from 1999-2005. Her love for teaching, leading, and supporting communities of color soon led her to Simmons College Graduate School of Social Work where she began facilitating dialogue around issues of race and identity in clinical work, which she has continued to do in organizations. Rebecca completed her MSW in 2009, and focused on young people and families who have experienced trauma in her clinical work. She worked in a variety of community-based settings as a clinician and soon began to use her pastoral experience in the classroom and other settings. Rebecca continues her teaching at Harvard Graduate School of Education, Boston College School of Social Work, and Bridgewater State University School of Social Work. Through LoveSeed, Rebecca applies her decades of leadership and teaching experience in supporting mission-driven organizations to strengthen their equity practices, internally and externally. Rebecca creates spaces where people can have difficult but necessary conversations to learn, grow, and thrive. She builds sustainable and brave leaders, teams, and organizations that bring their equity values to life. __________Arrival and LogisticsThis session will be held in-person at The NonProfit Center, located at 89 South Street Boston, MA 02111.
