When you work with people, the unexpected is bound to happen. And as a team lead, it’s your job to adapt, make decisions under pressure, and communicate these to your team.

This workshop gives you practical tools and skills to address emotionally complex, people-centred workplace challenges, such as major illnesses, sudden departures, ethical breaches, and other destabilizing disruptions. You’ll be challenged to address the unexpected using a trauma-informed lens, so you can navigate these situations with compassion, clarity, and confidence. When you take a trauma-informed approach, you better understand the human impacts of these types of events and can reduce their duration and impact.

You’ll leave this workshop knowing how to facilitate recovery, reflection, and renewal after a destabilizing event, so you can create a culture of readiness and a more resilient team.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

  • Assess the impact of unexpected, people-related disruptions
  • Use leadership tools and skills to provide an effective, timely response
  • Interpret and predict the needs of your team
  • Cultivate a culture of readiness so that your team is prepared
  • Demonstrate compassionate, calm, and clear communication under pressure

Method of Delivery

Presentation, case studies, experiential practice, personal reflection, and small group discussions.

*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view the materials.

Note: An e-manual for this workshop is included in purchase.
