🎧 This Week on The Lead Podcast: Trauma-Informed Leadership with Dr. Frog Orr-Ewing (Part 2)

In this powerful continuation of a special two-part series on The Lead Podcast, host Amy Orr-Ewing is joined once again by her husband, entrepreneur and trauma survivor Dr. Frog Orr-Ewing, for a deep dive into trauma-informed leadership. While Frog is a unique guest on this otherwise female-led podcast, his personal experiences and insights offer profound wisdom for both men and women in leadership.

Together, Amy and Frog discuss the 5 F's of trauma response—Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn, and Flop—examining how leaders can recognize these responses in themselves and those they lead. As Christian leaders, they emphasize the importance of sensitivity, compassion, and seeing the image of God in those we serve, especially in times of trauma and difficulty.

Building on the themes of Amy’s book Lead Like The Real You, they discuss:

• The importance of trauma-informed leadership, including the impact of trauma on decision-making, leading teams and relationships,
• How leaders can be more empathetic and understanding while maintaining strength and integrity in their role
• Jesus as the traumatised Saviour, who understands fully the traumas of our world, and who not only leads us, but walks alongside us both in our trauma and our healing.

Amy also reflects on her personal leadership journey, including how trauma and adversity have shaped her approach to leadership over the last 25+ years. This episode provides fresh insight into how the Christian faith can uniquely sustain and guide leaders as they face their own challenges, while offering comfort and healing to those they lead.

🙏 Whether you're a leader seeking to understand trauma or a Christian navigating the complexities of faith and leadership, this episode is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools for leading with grace and resilience.
