Why This Series?

We’re in a time of deep strain - political, cultural, and economic. These challenges affect our communities and the capacity of our organizations to meet their needs.


And still, our work must move forward.


The stability and performance of your teams depend on the steadiness of your leaders. Grounded leadership isn’t optional. It’s essential infrastructure.


This 3-part training series is designed to help leaders show up with greater clarity, trust, and impact…without losing their humanity in the process.


Participants will gain tools to:

  • Stay grounded when the pressure rises
  • Lead with empathy, accountability, and clarity
  • Influence their teams in ways that build trust and effectiveness


This series is a shorter commitment than the 10-week certificate program, but rooted in the same high-impact, trauma-informed framework. 

Curriculum Overview

All sessions are 10:00 - 11:00 AM via Zoom


August 14 - Staying Grounded and Present in the Context of Chaos

Learn how to stay steady, focused, and responsive as a leader—even when pressure, urgency, or disruption are part of daily operations.  


August 21 - Defining Leadership through a Lens of Healing

Explore how trust, empathy, and accountability can shape a team culture that supports healing—for both staff and clients.


August 28 - Leading with Influence from the Inside Out

Discover how internal steadiness and presence influence your team’s tone, performance, and long-term impact.  

About the Facilitator

All sessions are led by James Freeman (MA, Organizational Leadership), founder of Training Grounds with over 30 years of experience in youth and family services, spanning direct care, supervision, training, and executive leadership.
