I first heard of Ruth Cooper-Dickson because it seemed like everyone in my network was talking about her and her research in trauma-informed coaching! Fast track several months and here she is to share her research, experience, expertise, and life wisdom, with little glimpses through Neuro-Divergent eyes along the way.
In this episode:
A Trauma-Informed Approach:
Ruth and I engage in a deep discussion on the nuances of trauma in leadership and how to navigate mental health in the workplace, combining the need for understanding with actionable strategies.
Leading Through Adversity:
We explore the balance between fostering resilience and acknowledging the challenging economic and global health pressures leaders face.
Neurodiversity and Memory:
Ruth sheds light on the complex interactions between neurodivergent perspectives, trauma, and memory, offering insights on how these dimensions play a crucial role in personal and professional growth.
Well-being and Integration:
The episode dives into the dynamic process of integrating past experiences to create a healthy and effective leadership journey.
From Coaching to Therapeutic Support:
As always with folk who do this work, we touch on the intersection of coaching and therapy, opening up the discussion to how leaders too can provide support that transcends conventional boundaries.
Join us for an insightful session that resonates with the complexities of human experiences, advocating for mental health and purposeful leadership.
