Week 1: Intro to Basics

We will jump into the basics of what running a trauma-informed and DEI-centric business looks like, and go over the rest of the course schedule!

Group Expectations, Community Guidelines or Community Chemistry; whatever you want to call it! We will set the tone for a space grounded in bravery, understanding, learning and empowerment.

Week 2: Values, Beliefs, & Identities

Now it’s getting real. Your values, beliefs, and identities inform the way that you show up in your business. You will learn the value of a “human-centric” approach in your coaching. We will align your values with your offerings to elevate your small business.

Week 3: Integration Week

Take the time to further integrate your identity and human-centric values into your business. This will be an open office hour week for anyone interested in processing!

Week 4: Business Specific Trauma Sensitivity

When remaining trauma-sensitive, we are setting the tone of care, healing, openness, and safety. If harm is caused or received, we will discuss steps for closure and high-impact relationship healing. In this module we will dig deeper into the relationships we have with our clients and peers.

Week 5: Crisis Management

Trauma-informed businesses intentionally interrupt cycles of harm. A war on race, a pandemic, and continuous harm to marginalized groups are existential threats. So, your values-to-business model should also embody where you stand in your social justice and allyship journey. We will create a social justice plan for outward and inward facing advocacy. Let’s do this!
