In this episode of Becoming Anchored, licensed therapists and hosts Lauren Jackson and Laura Deneen are joined by Level Up Leaders Julianne Guinasso and Poonam Nathan.
Julianne and Poonam are also both licensed marriage and family therapists. They began Level Up Leaders to support mental health leaders cultivate a safe practice and a supportive work environment.
Julianne and Poonam believe trauma-informed practices apply not only to clients but also to employees. Together we discuss the nuances and benefits of trauma-informed leadership.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
- Implementing Self-Care Through Boundaries: We acknowledge that leadership can often be challenging. We discuss how implementing and maintaining boundaries can create a healthy work environment, where conflict and needs can be communicated effectively and compassionately. For leaders, boundaries may also support self-care and help rejuvenate them, so they can bring their best to their teams.
- Valued-Based Leadership: We explore the importance of shared values in creating a safe, collaborative environment. Julianne and Poonam encourage leaders to notice and honor the unique values of each team member. Further, leaders are invited to model sincerity, compassion, and generosity, so employees feel empowered to reciprocate those values.
- The Trust Model: Julianna and Poonam share their Trust Model, which encourages transparency, curiosity, and compassion. When building trust, we gently encourage leaders to be mindful, intentional, and prioritize genuine connections to create a safe environment where employees feel comfortable expressing their needs.
This episode is abundant with practices to nourish a supportive, caring, and mindful work environment.
