E72: The Impact of Trauma on Leadership with Kelly Campbell

Does childhood trauma impact leadership in organizations? Rarely is this topic discussed, which is why I'm eager to bring this episode to you today.
To discuss this complex topic, I invited Kelly Campbell, trauma-informed leadership coach and author of the book "Heal to Lead". Kelly shares her personal journey of healing from childhood trauma and how that inspired her to do the work she does now.
Trauma is something we've all encountered in one form or another.
These past experiences of trauma can, and will, influence our behavior, emotions, and decision-making in our current leadership roles.
Kelly emphasizes the importance of developing self-awareness to recognize trauma-based patterns and reactions. She also provides strategies for trauma integration, including somatic work, plant medicines, and other modalities.
Kelly argues that trauma-informed leadership can lead to better long-term results and sustainability for businesses.
In this episode:

Unconscious impacts of childhood trauma on leadership
Developing self-awareness to recognize trauma patterns
Trauma-informed leadership through supportive environments
Strategies for trauma integration
And more!
