In today's episode Judith Germain speaks to Kelly L Campbell about trauma-informed leadership. Kelly shares her personal journey, including starting a successful digital marketing agency in her 20s, but eventually feeling unfulfilled and selling the company. This led her to become a trauma-informed leadership coach, focusing on helping leaders integrate their own past trauma and lead from a place of greater self-awareness and empathy.
Key Takeaways Trauma-informed leadership is about understanding what might be happening internally for people and leading with compassion Epigenetic research suggests some leaders may be hormonally imbalanced due to childhood trauma, impacting empathy There is hope for more conscious leadership from younger generations who are discussing emotions/trauma Becoming trauma-informed involves training to recognise trauma responses and practicing the mindset consistently


In this conversation Kelly explains that trauma-informed leadership is about understanding how past trauma can impact people's behavior and responses, and leading with compassion, consent, and consideration for employees' and clients' humanity.
Kelly shares new research on how intergenerational trauma can impact leaders' brain chemistry and hormonal balance, potentially making it difficult for them to feel empathy and make decisions for the greater good. She suggests this research could have implications for how we evaluate leadership capabilities.


Kelly L Campbell speaks and writes about trauma, leadership, and consciousness - 'The new TLC'. Kelly is a Trauma Informed Leadership Coach to emerging and established leaders who know they are meant for more.
