Amy Elizabeth Fox is the CEO and co-founder of Mobius Executive Leadership. It's safe to say that the work I do in the world at KONU and my private coaching practice would not be as enriched and as robust if not for the work of Mobius.
Mobius weaves together an incredibly rich and deep intellectual spiritual heritage for how change happens in individuals, groups, and organizations. One of the biggest core insights that Mobius draws upon is the understanding that we live in a world that's hurting.
To lead ourselves and others in this world means we need to become trauma-informed. To understand the way that trauma lives in us, individually and collectively. To honor the protective mechanisms we all have to cope with trauma. To recognize that if we can't safely and patiently heal from our traumas, we are likely to end up hurting ourselves and others even more.
This wisdom comes to life in Mobius's latest offering, a trauma-informed coach training program. Our conversation opens a doorway to meet our trauma with compassion, heal it, and access the latent creativity and the aliveness that's present behind it. Because when trauma gets unfrozen, and healing starts to happen, that's when our greatest life energy starts to flow.
If you're a leader or a leadership development practitioner, please listen closely to this one. It is so essential to our work in this era of cultural, economic, and ecological disruption and destruction.
