TIL 34/40 Mentorship Gone Wrong: Lessons in Building Systems That Last

🎙️ New Episode Announcement Words outlive us. They shape identity, possibility, and the very scripts communities rehearse for generations. In Episode 34, we explore how language becomes legacy. From Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address to King’s “I Have a Dream,” to Churchill’s wartime declarations, history shows us that words can heal or wound, humanize or dehumanize, inspire resilience or fuel destruction. We’ll unpack how trauma-informed leaders use language to empower without erasing pain—choosing “and” over “but,” separating behavior from identity, and wielding influence with integrity rather than manipulation. You’ll also learn how sloppy language erodes trust while precise, dignifying words sustain it. If you want to lead in a way that your words carry light, even when you are gone, this episode is your call to intentional speech. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify: Trauma-Informed Leadership Series 📅 Book a call with Krista to see how this program can transform your leadership or schedule your organization’s custom training series: https://calendly.com/riseupphoenix/compass
