[Trauma-Informed] Leadership Uncensored

Dr. Dawn Emerick

When aspiring and emerging leaders see, read and learn how even seasoned leaders lose their balance and recover, it humanizes the struggle, it places their trauma, vulnerability and empathy right in the middle of the room and we emotionally connect to it. LEADERSHIP UNCENSORED strips away the pretentiousness and openly discusses the good, the bad, the funny, the ugly, the lessons, the failures, the tears, the embarrassments and of course, the rewards of leadership.

    Season 4 Episode 21: Best Practices in Trauma-Informed Leadership- Trauma’s Impact on the Labor Movement: Union Leadership, Collective Organizing & Working Class Solidarity with Ron Ruggiero

    I speak with former union president, Ron Ruggiero, who shares his insight about his new found freedom, the power of the "pause", and the seduction of the achievement hamster wheel. Ron also explains his theory on the individual trauma within both the working class and the labor union movement as well as the link between trauma and economic / racial justice. "Growing up working class, there is also a stigma about this stuff.  There's a little bit about the working class we gotta be tough,.. we're tougher than them.. there's a whole design and system to send these messages" After a thirty-year, hard-charging career in the labor movement, Ron Ruggiero left his role as President of SEIU 105 in 2022. A friend recommended he read, “The Body Keeps the Score” by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. For the first time, he learned that he had suffered trauma from his childhood “woke up to” the enormous impact of how his unrecognized and untreated trauma had influenced his leadership, his relationships at work and at home, and his behavior patterns that were unhealthy and harmful. As Ron’s individual healing got underway, he quickly turned curious about how trauma impacts the multi-racial, working-class labor movement as a whole such as organizing collectively, leading democratic unions effectively, and building the solidarity needed to take on the power of concentrated corporations to win an equitable life. Ron believes trauma-awareness is the key to solving the enormous economic, racial, and other disparities in our society. Ron hopes his story and the newness of his healing journey can inspire and help other leaders and members of the working class begin their own healing journeys.

    Season 3, Episode 16. Best Practices in Trauma-Informed Leadership: Daryl Tol, EVP with One Mind

    A trauma-informed approach to leadership is about a way of being, a set of behaviors or principles interwoven into the organization's DNA, not just a specific set of tasks or a checklist or annual training. It isn't being "nicer" to your employees or excusing or accepting unacceptable behavior. It doesn't end with this podcast, either.  Trauma-informed leadership is a leadership approach by which the leader acknowledges how their own social and emotional experiences influence the way they interact, communicate, influence and engage anyone who has an interest in the success of themselves, of others and of their organization.  It's  just one component of a comprehensive Power of 3 framework that intentionally integrates a do no harm mindset into all aspects of the leadership, management, and supervision practices. The Power of 3 framework doesn't start and stop with building trauma informed leaders, it also helps leaders identify the root causes or the systems in place that may be triggering vicarious or secondary trauma in the workplace. One Mind The Future of Workplace Mental Health Given that most of the world’s population spends one-third of their adult lives at work, employers have a tremendous opportunity to improve quality of life for all people and play a critical role in driving mental health solutions. Moreover, leaving mental health needs unaddressed has costly results like higher absenteeism, increased liability, and lost productivity. We believe that a committed group of CEOs can transform the way we view and approach mental health, brain fitness, and wellbeing in the workplace. Listen to the full episode of Season 3, Episode 16 with Daryl Tol, EVP with One Mind as he takes us through their journey of modeling trauma-informed leadership. More About Daryl Tol Daryl started his career in physician practice management and moved to hospital and health system management over a 20 year career in healthcare.

Daryl’s lived experience with mental health challenges while maintaining a busy executive career makes One Mind a work of personal purpose and energy.
