Listen in on my conversation with Xu Simon, coach, consultant, and speaker.  Among the topics we discuss: building capacity, the way that resiliency is context-dependent, science as a global good, and how the external environment can either support a person&apos;s growth or add microtraumas and problems. Xu helps technical talent and executive leadership resonate together in high-tech industries to maximize everyone’s bottom line. We had a fabulous conversation and of course, we made sure to discuss the relationship between resonant frequency and resiliency.

15: Being a survivor with Michael Chase

 Conversations about trauma, resilience, and compassion.  How do we genuinely support individuals who have experienced trauma and build inclusive and safe environments? Trauma significantly affects the mental and physical health of those who experience it, and personal resiliency is only part of the solution. The rest lies in addressing organizational, systemic, and social determinants of health and wellness, and making the effort to genuinely understand the impact of trauma.  Here, we ask and answer the tough questions about how wellness is framed in an organizational context, what supports are available and why, what the barriers are to supporting trauma survivors, and what best practices contribute to mental wellness. These conversations provide a framework to identify areas for change and actionable steps to reshape organizations to be truly trauma sensitive.
