Julie (Jules) Alvarado - From Foster Care to Trauma-Informed Leadership: Building Emotionally Safe Organizations

Trauma therapist, executive coach, and international consultant Julie (Jules) Alvarado joins Ken Huey to explore how foster-parenting shaped her leadership, what it takes to build emotionally safe workplaces, and simple practices leaders can use today to regulate and reconnect. Julie shares stories from global consulting (including work across nine countries), concrete coaching examples, and her practical “stop, drop, and roll” breathing practice for moving from reactivity into relationship. A warm, grounded conversation for parents, clinicians, leaders - anyone who wants tools to lead from presence and compassion.
