Leading Beyond Survival: Moving from Reactive Leadership to Intentional Action
Description
Join us as Jesse takes us on a deep dive into his RAISE Framework™, a strengths-based, trauma-responsive approach to leadership and coaching that helps leaders move beyond reactive problem-solving and toward curiosity, trust, accountability, and growth.
Together, we'll explore:
How lived experience, trauma, and internalized narratives can shape leadership behaviors and organizational culture, keeping individuals and organizations stuck in unproductive patterns
Why understanding protective patterns can transform how we respond to conflict, disengagement, and accountability challenges
How leaders can recognize strengths and resilience that may be hidden beneath survival strategies
How to apply Jesse's RAISE Framework™ for supporting growth, ownership, and aligned action in your own leadership
Practical ways to bring these ideas into your own leadership, coaching, and organizational practice
Whether you joined us for Part I (You Can’t Fix What’s Not Broken) or are joining us for the first time, this interactive session will offer new ways of understanding the people we lead, the stories we tell ourselves, and the cultures we are trying to build together.
You can stay connected with Jesse via his website, Alliance Way and on Linkedin.
