Pioneer of Trauma-Resilient Leadership™

Patty Bennett is a transformative leader and the visionary behind Trauma-Resilient Leadership™. Integrating trauma-responsive principles into leadership for over a decade, Patty brings a unique blend of lived experience, as a survivor of labor trafficking, and extensive expertise in leadership and coaching to her work. She has dedicated her career to empowering trauma survivors, marginalized communities, and organizations alike by fostering environments where resilience, growth, and empowerment thrive.

“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.” — Alexander Den Heijer

Patty’s Trauma-Resilient Leadership™ model embodies this truth, focusing on creating supportive environments rather than “fixing” people. By transforming workplaces into spaces where survivors and all team members feel psychologically safe, she enables everyone to reach their full potential.

What is Trauma-Resilient Leadership™?

Trauma-Resilient Leadership™ is a groundbreaking framework designed to address the unique needs of trauma survivors in the workplace. Traditional leadership methods often fall short when working with individuals affected by trauma, and Patty’s approach provides leaders with the tools and insights to bridge this gap. Rooted in the S.H.I.F.T. Model™, Trauma-Resilient Leadership™ not only enhances team performance but also places critical importance on the emotional, psychological, and relational health of all team members.

The Trauma-Resilient Leadership™ model acknowledges the complexities trauma survivors bring to the workforce and fosters resilience, trust, and a culture of understanding, ultimately creating workplaces where individuals feel empowered and respected in their journeys.

The S.H.I.F.T. Model™: The Core of Trauma-Resilient Leadership™

The S.H.I.F.T. Model™ serves as the foundation of Trauma-Resilient Leadership™, guiding leaders to support, empower, and connect with survivors and team members alike.

S.H.I.F.T. stands for:

  • Supportive Relationships: Building trust through compassionate interactions and open communication.
  • Healing-Centered Approaches: Prioritizing psychological safety and well-being.
  • Inclusive Leadership: Recognizing each individual’s unique experiences and fostering a sense of belonging.
  • Flexibility and Adaptation: Adapting to individual needs, particularly for those navigating the effects of trauma.
  • Transparency: Establishing clear, respectful, and honest communication to avoid re-traumatization.

These principles are integrated into daily leadership practices, providing an adaptable approach that encourages resilience without expecting leaders to act as therapists. Leaders, managers, and peers are empowered to be trauma-aware, fostering an environment that respects professional boundaries while supporting team resilience.

Why Trauma-Resilient Leadership™ Matters

Organizations working within the anti-trafficking movement, and those that hire survivors or collaborate with trauma-affected individuals, need more than traditional leadership frameworks to succeed. Trauma-Resilient Leadership™ offers a compassionate and effective solution, bridging trauma awareness with inclusive, practical leadership.

By embracing Trauma-Resilient Leadership™ and the S.H.I.F.T. Model™, leaders can create workplaces that support the unique strengths of trauma survivors and empower all team members to excel. Through this approach, Patty Bennett is working with leaders to transform workplaces, building resilience, and inspiring leaders to make a lasting impact in their organizations and communities
