Starting March 28th
Create more Impact, Sustainaibility and Flow by making what you do Trauma-Informed

– Do you sometimes get so deep into complex territory and wonder how to navigate it?
– You wonder if your work can have more flow and impact at the same time?
I believe that the future of working with people will be trauma-informed. – Gregor Steinmaurer
Trauma has become a fashionable word over the past years.
Both professionals and lay people are becoming more aware of how Trauma and its symptoms are affecting many people on a daily basis.
However, there isn’t a lot of information about how Trauma affects your work as a teacher, group leader, facilitator etc., let alone how to navigate it effectively.
When Trauma stays unrecognized it will show up through challenging symptoms and experiences.
You might get stuck in cycles of frustration, stress or conflicts in your facilitation or groups.
It might show up as disengagement or lack of motivation in your team, or as exhaustion and near burn-out in yourself.
In this 9-week online Training you will learn how to recognize and navigate the hidden layers of Trauma in your work, and get the tools to offer spaces for other people, with an awareness for Trauma.
The intention of this training is not to turn you into a Trauma Therapist or make Trauma the focus of your work.
It is about understanding and navigating individual & collective trauma when facilitating, so that your work becomes:
- more fluid AND competent
- up to date with the future that will be trauma-informedmore enjoyable and sustainable for you

About Gregor Steinmaurer
Good Facilitation for me is like Art – and it can be a very satisfying but also very complex process.
When I started working with people and facilitating groups – around 20 years ago – there was not much talk about Trauma yet, and I had to learn about it the hard way.
I was puzzled at the beginning of my journey why for some people being in a meeting or in a group was very difficult, while it was easy for others.
I went on to learn about Trauma, the Nervous System, new research from Neuroscience and discovered our implicit ways of checking safety and competence in leaders – and sure enough my way of working and facilitating changed.
This training now is what I wish I had available when I started out on my journey – and I hope it will benefit you on your journey to become your next best version of yourself as a facilitator, teacher or leader.
