Stu Otten: Leading Through Trauma

Welcome to the Leadership Community Podcast.   In today's episode, we talk to Stu Otten about Leading Through Trauma.   Stu shares his story of how he was brought up in a Christian home, bullied at school, and through circumstances that he explains, got into criminality, violent and aggressive criminal activity   Yet through it all, he held onto some kind of belief in God, and it was anger at a sign for a church on the side of a hotel that led to a Holy Spirit God encounter, which turned his life around completely.   Stu has 3 decades of experience as a senior leader in social work, Churches, pastoral care, criminal justice, and the charitable sector. He is passionate about sharing his own lived experience of change from criminality as a young man, now focused on supporting others, and using his expertise to train and consult with leaders.   Stu is an author; his book The Switch is based on his past, while working within the British criminal world. You can read as the hero battles through, fighting to literally survive and keep his integrity while living in a world of violence and drugs.
