Sharmin Prince: Why Psychological Safety is The Foundation of Sustainable Leadership

In this episode, host Sheena Katz sits down with Sharmin Prince — trauma-informed leadership expert, organizational strategist, and World Pulse board member. Sharmin shares how her early work with children, survivors, and veterans shaped her understanding of psychological safety, why burnout is often a systems issue rather than an individual failure, and how leaders can build environments that support both impact and human well-being. From trauma-informed leadership to the role of safety, agency, and community in healing, this conversation highlights how sustainable impact begins not with outcomes, but with the systems we create to support people.About the PodcastWelcome to the World Pulse Podcast, where we explore how women around the world are driving social impact in their communities and across borders through leadership, connection, and collective action.World Pulse is a global social impact network that supports grassroots women leaders advancing gender equity worldwide.
