The Connection Between Trauma and Leadership Behavior
Part 1: Unintegrated Trauma and Unconscious Leadership Behavior
Part one of a two-part series, this presentation connects the dots between how past negative events and trauma impact our identity, how our identity becomes threatened, the role of the amygdala and our related coping mechanisms, and how these subsequent behaviors can both block our effectiveness and create a negative ripple effect.
Part 2: Pre-Programmed Coping Mechanisms and Re-Wiring our Brains
Part two of this series examines how we can un-learn pre-programmed coping behaviors. By becoming highly introspective and curious, leaders can begin paving the way to new perspectives, remove barriers to effectiveness, and create a positive ripple effect beyond themselves to their organizations and communities.

What is Conscious Leadership?
This presentation is for those who are beginning to explore Conscious Leadership and want to learn more about the basic principles of what it means to be a conscious leader. Conscious leaders not only create positive ripple effects in their organizations and communities, but they also create more conscious leaders.
Conscious Leadership is a Way of Being
The principles of conscious leadership cannot only be applied to leadership. It is a way of being in the world. There is no finish line to the continuum of growth or the positive impact it can have on us as individuals, our families, organizations, communities, and the world.
Disability and Inclusion
By raising awareness, challenging unconscious biases, and debunking some of the common myths and misconceptions about disability that hinder inclusion, this presentation demonstrates the value of embracing diversity and promoting innovation through inclusive practices.
Coaching
With a caring interdisciplinary mindset, Stacey collaborates with leaders to embark on a profound and transformative journey of self-discovery, uncovering hidden layers within themselves, examining how past negative experiences have shaped internal beliefs, and shedding the resultant self-imposed limitations that hinder their effectiveness as leaders. As a result, a remarkable shift occurs, not only within the leader’s personal growth but also in fostering favorable and enduring environments within their organizations and communities.
