Loss and grief are part of the human experience. Tragedies unfold in the 24/7 news cycle – some globally and others very close to home. Some traumas occur in the present moment while others are generations long. Because of that, people show up to work in pain, worried, grieving, angry, and confused. Leaders feel compelled to do something and simultaneously are afraid of doing the wrong thing. There is no single way to respond to tragedy. In Trauma-informed Leadership When Crisis Feels Constant, Renee Branson MA provides guideposts to help you navigate through the process.
Renee Branson provides clients with immediately usable tools to increase resilience, well-being, and optimism in the workplace. She works with law firms and other professional services organizations to help them understand and incorporate resilience in their professional lives and teams.
