Evolve

The Path to Trauma-Informed Leadership

By: Carolyn Swora

Narrated by: Carolyn Swora

Evolve: The Path to Trauma-Informed Leadership is an invitation to examine our relationship with work and our experienced trauma as humans, both personal and collective, to create a new paradigm. The events of the past few years, including COVID-19, Black Lives Matter, environmental instability, and economic uncertainty have led to profound societal shifts. We are rethinking our priorities and beliefs, and importantly, how we exist in relation to others. Radical change has occurred both at home and at work, which requires us to lead in new, more authentic, and vulnerable ways. More human ways.

Carolyn Swora is no stranger to trauma. As a young wife and mother, she supported her husband through his journey with terminal cancer, while also climbing the corporate ladder and coming to grips with her own turbulent childhood. Through self-reflection and her subsequent research, Carolyn has created a guide to help us examine ourselves and our leadership styles in order to evolve the workplace.

Carolyn Swora is a two-time author on books about leadership. She holds a master's degree in industrial and organizational psychology, is a personal resilience practitioner, certified cultural transformation practitioner, accredited Enneagram practitioner, and certified Dare to Lead™ facilitator. In her work as a culture and leadership consultant, Carolyn works with companies and individuals to drive positive change. She lives in Canada with her second husband and sons.

A waste of a credit

There was loose buy-in until this Canadian dropped the words white privilege. Hearing those words suggests agenda or catering to a crowd who doesn't accept her for who she is.

This is a juvenile approach to leadership at best. She spends a great deal of time defining the problem and how trauma can impact future decision-making processes, however, she provides little to no answers or solutions on how to move past or deal with previous trauma. This book is an outlet for her to try and resolve her daddy issues. it might as well have been a biography.
