Trauma and Leadership: The Impact of Trauma on Leadership, Technology and Society

What is leadership? What is trauma? What is a human being? What is identity - our own free will? What is impacting what - and how? Are you a leader - in your own life, parent, health worker, teamleader, social entrepreneur, storyteller, politician - or of an organization? Are you feeling overwhelmed? Being quiet, healing trauma, becoming connected and slowing down are needed now more than ever - and even more if you choose to be, grow, develop and play an autonomous and sustainable leadership role, whether in your own life or for a group of people. Deficiencies in our modern lifestyles of blindly day-walking through life - surviving without connection - goes against the grain of our nature. This is also the case for conscious and responsible leaders. Both we, our children and the people we are leading, are ravaged by survival strategies including stress, fatigue, infertility, addictions, violence, abuse, depression and confusion. Working on our own trauma affects our leadership capabilities and quality in a profound way, and reveals that most of us are too wounded to feel our underlying pain or to see the trauma in our systems. Our bodies' rejection of this not only causes our problems as individuals and leaders, but had the power to heal them - and to thrive as authentic leaders. Dare your early trauma, and thrive as a leader in your own life. This is the start of daring what is as it is, owning your story and staying grounded in the reality of the causes, challenges and understandings of your experienced human values in your body - for being capable of seeing the greater picture in the organic body of any human relationship and group.

What if we didn't have to survive and could truly thrive our leadership skills? It takes one healthy human being to see, understand and support the healthy growth and development of another human being. The fact that we are often blocked from connecting with our bodies underlies most psychological and physiological problems and unhealthy hidden dynamics - in our lives, parenting, health systems, the utilization of technology and in our leadership roles. A unified approach to traditional psychology, modern trauma theory, systemic development and deeper leadership skills integrates fragmented parts of our identity, psyche and the different hidden elements in our family or in our organization. These parts may include: early trauma, inner and outer victim-perpetrator dynamics, addictions, low self-esteem, stress, shame and self-judgment, while emphasizing our healthy resources, human leadership skills and resiliency capacities. This books step-by-step transformational insights and writing methods help you enter your quiet heart space for increased resilient leadership capacities, to fully explore the causes, consequences and perspectives in any system - for more fully understanding our identity, trauma and its impact on leadership, technology and society.

When we fully understand the impact of a healthy identity for healthy human development and growth - how womb ecology becomes world ecology - and see and experience the importance of our own free will and that the whole is greater than the sum of all of its parts - in our mothers womb, in our own bodies, and in any relationship and group - we will be capable of co-creating a humanitarian, sustainable and healthy future for years to come.
