SOMETHING'S MISSING FROM YOUR DIVERSITY I EQUITY I INCLUSION (DEI) STRATEGIESTo the extent that diversity, equity, and inclusion address racial barriers, organizations must also consider how to support the often-silent survivors of trauma and abuse. Employees are not required to disclose mental health conditions. Residual trauma dynamics are equal-opportunity disruptors of culture and productivity. Moreover, many trauma survivors may not be aware of the implications of posttraumatic, or complex posttraumatic, dynamics in their lives.THE SILENT DISRUPTOR THAT'S ERODING YOUR CULTUREEmployees are fighting a silent battle nobody else knows about and they don't turn off their lives when they enter the organizational doors. Sexual assault, domestic violence, childhood trauma, and abuse influence their perspectives, perceptions, decision-making, and relationships. Unless the culture is conducive to trust, leadership will never know.CONSULTANT SERVICES• Mental Health and Emotional Trauma Consultant• Trauma-Informed Consultant• Trauma-Resilience Consultant• Trauma Transformation Coach • Listening Session FacilitatorEXPERTISE• Trauma Resilient Leadership: The Whose Apple Dynamic challenges and empowers leaders to recognize, root out, and disarm trauma-based mind-fields before they sideline productivity and stifle strategic progress.• Trauma Resilient Teams: We equip employees with formidable tools that empower the individual change that results in real and sustainable outcomes to personal well-being, organizational culture, and productivity.QUALIFICATIONS• Member of the American Psychological Association• Behaviorist I Trained Psychotherapist I Certified Executive Coach• Award-Winning Change Agent • 37-Years in Federal Public Administration • 10-Years as a Labor-Management LeaderLet's talk: https://lnkd.in/d7ja-q9

TITLE: Destiny Did Not Deny Me: How A Rape And Domestic Violence Survivor Turned Pain Into A Passionate EnterpriseTOPICIt was actually the process of writing about her trauma that led Williams to start her own company in order to help others find their purpose. “I launched sometime around the end of 2010 with the website. It initially touted the book. It has grown as my vision and direction developed,” she shared. “I still work full-time at my federal job. I’ve been there 37 years now. That’s what I do to earn a living. I am positioning myself to eventually retire and move into my passion for the business full-time.” Williams is a Certified Christian Life Coach and trained psychotherapist. She also holds a Masters in Social Work, Certification in Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counseling, and is currently a doctoral candidate at Capella University.BOOK LINDAPublicRelations@WhoseApple.orghttp://www.whoseapple.org/appointments 888-486-4133 to schedule your FREE GPS Strategy SessionLife Coach, Keynote, Motivational, Speaker, Business Consultant, Best-Selling Author, Executive Coach, Corporate Trainer, Change Agent, International, News Contributor, National, Expert, Lifestyle, Business, Behaviorist, Inspirational, Christian Speaker, Change Agent, Television Guest, Radio Guest, Internationally Known
