Lynsey is a pleasure to work with! She is very knowledgeable, conscientious, and has great follow through. Planning our session with her was a breeze!

Trauma isn’t just a personal issue—it shows up in the workplace as disengagement, conflict, high turnover, and diminished performance. With nearly 70% of adults experiencing at least one traumatic event in their lifetime (abuse, bullying, discrimination, etc), leaders and teams need the skills to recognize and respond to stress and adversity in ways that strengthen, rather than strain, performance and wellbeing. Addressing these patterns transforms both individual well-being and organizational health.
This training gives leaders, managers, and employees practical tools to foster a safe, supportive, and high-performing culture.
Participants will learn how to:
✔️ Recognize the hidden ways trauma impacts communication, trust, and collaboration
✔️ Apply trauma-informed principles to leadership, feedback, and team dynamics
✔️ Respond effectively to stress and conflict without escalating tensions but instead getting buy-in and cooperation.
✔️ Build resilience practices that strengthen both individuals and the organization
The result? A workplace where people feel safe to contribute their best ideas, leaders inspire trust, and teams can thrive—even in times of change and uncertainty.
📌 Best for companies, conferences, organizations, colleges.
✔️ Available as a Keynote, Training/Workshop/Fireside Chat, Leadership Coaching, Employee training with option to add office hours.
In today’s always-on culture, high performers are burning out at record rates—costing organizations their talent, innovation, and productivity. This program equips employees and leaders with the tools to identify hidden drivers of burnout, challenge unhelpful beliefs that fuel disengagement and low performance, and realign their time and energy to be productive, engaged, and balanced to create healthy cultures.
Burnout isn’t just about doing too much, it’s about doing too much of the wrong things and for the wrong reasons. Along with job and family expectations, the beliefs you’ve inherited and the rules you’ve never questioned create the pressure that drains you. When you realign your energy with your true priorities and create supportive systems, burnout becomes optional.
Through engaging stories, practical exercises, and actionable frameworks, participants will learn how to:
✔️ Spot early warning signs of burnout in themselves and others
✔️ Rewire high-pressure thinking patterns that sabotage performance and wellbeing
✔️ Use a simple energy-mapping system to prioritize high-impact work
✔️ Create realistic boundaries that support sustainable success and create healthy cultures with accountability and support.
The result? A workplace culture where people are energized, focused, and equipped to perform at their best—without sacrificing business growth, their health or personal lives.
