The Power of 3 framework is grounded in a set of national trauma-informed workplace standards with a Do No Harm lens interwoven throughout a leader's decision-making process. Trauma-informed leadership is actualized when leaders and supervisors acknowledge how their own social and emotional needs and experiences influence the way they interact, communicate, influence, and engage with anyone who has an interest in their success, the success of others and the success of their organization.
Changing the Paradigm
We form paradigms through a set of concepts we accept and the actions we decide to take and do it repeatedly. Today’s organizations have been repeating and rewarding employees using the same old motivation models such as Frederick Taylor’s Scientific Method. It’s time for a paradigm change.
Creating a paradigm shift in your organization requires a fundamental change in your company’s values, leadership styles, systems, and actions over a period of time. The Power of 3 framework assists leaders and their workforce to:
-
better understand what a trauma-informed workplace is
-
assess and engage their workforce to better understand the current employee experiences and standards of trauma informed practices- over time
-
Identify internal influencers and train them to be culture ambassadors for the organization
-
Develop, implement, and evaluate a horizontal and vertical designed workplan

I would definitely suggest this to any and everyone. This was a great course that I think all leaders and or employers should have to become a part of these days ... I will be visiting Ms. Dawns website to find more training on this and I have intentions of somehow asking her what I can do to get the word out and try and help her reach that goal of hers by 2031.

Crucial topic to address in our current workplace climate. It is refreshing to see that training in trauma-informed leadership is becoming more accessible.

Just finished the course “Become a Trauma Informed Leader.” Dawn Emerick's material is remarkably current and relevant, touching upon the aftermath of the global pandemic, the great resignation, and the impacts of ongoing national racial and gender inequality/unrest. Highly recommend.

I was so thankful to have taken this course. I came into this course with decent background knowledge of trauma. I felt that the course was a highly valuable learning experience.
Dawn’s course teaches how to develop and apply trauma informed practices to support the mental health & wellbeing of yourself & others.
I highly recommend it!
