Career Club Live with Bob Goodwin

Dr. Julie Cooper, president of Trauma-Free World, joins us for a transformative conversation that promises to reshape how you view leadership and organizational success. Dr. Cooper's unique trajectory from biochemistry to trauma-informed care offers a profound understanding of how trauma influences behaviors and emotions. She shares personal anecdotes from her journey in child welfare and fostering, illustrating how trauma-based leadership can equip individuals and leaders with the tools to navigate tough times with empathy and effectiveness.
Our discussion highlights the often-overlooked impact of trauma in the workplace and the crucial role of leadership in cultivating healthier environments. Drawing from Dr. Cooper's experiences in Back-to-Back Ministries, we explore how trauma affects employee focus and productivity. Leaders can learn compelling strategies to foster psychological safety, turning mistakes into learning opportunities and encouraging open communication. With practical illustrations from international settings, we delve into power dynamics and cultural considerations for implementing these principles globally.
Empowering voices within an organization means addressing power distance and promoting engagement, and Dr. Cooper provides actionable insights into achieving this. We examine how Trauma-Free World strives to build trauma-informed cultures through resources like the "Trauma-Informed Leadership" course, offering consulting and coaching to support tailored organizational needs. Dr. Cooper's insights are a valuable guide for leaders eager to support vulnerable populations and foster inclusive, resilient communities.
