Go deep with Dr. Pettis Perry, author of the groundbreaking new book, Confronting Trauma & Toxicity: Tools for Transformative Leaders, Workplace Warriors, and Community Builders to Foster Resilience and Meaningful Lives. In this conversational webinar, you’ll discover the compelling story behind this unique blend of memoir and manual—and why this transformative leader chose to share both his professional insights and deeply personal journey now.

Drawing from nearly six decades of service and his own lived experience with complex PTSD, Dr. Perry will reveal how he crafted a resource that shows the hidden ways trauma migrates between workplace and home, influencing everything from leadership behaviors to organizational health. You’ll hear candid insights about his writing process, including how he wove together personal accounts with survivor stories and cutting-edge social science to create practical transformation tools.

Some possible topics of conversation include:

  • Why trauma is so pervasive in today’s organizations
  • The systemic nature of harm and the costs of unaddressed trauma
  • Breakthrough strategies for transforming pain into purpose and cultivating environments where people can grow, lead, and thrive
  • Insight, validation, and hope for a more just and meaningful life in and out of work.
