The world we live in confronts us with unavoidable, and at times unprecedented, challenges and adversities. In 'Leader Awakened', author Samreen McGregor explains how leaders can use their experiences as a powerful catalyst for change and as a point for learning, empowerment, agency and improved wellbeing. The book provides a thought-provoking blend of practical examples and theoretical observations alongside Samreen’s personal experiences of trauma following her son's cancer diagnosis and a lifetime of grappling with questions of identity and belonging. The book invites readers to accept, embrace and work with difficult or traumatic events and experiences, and explores how a leader’s understanding of their own life story can impact their thoughts, behaviour and values and empower them to accept and embrace the trauma or difficulties they have experienced.

But Dr. Lisa Turner challenges this narrative, helping people to face and overcome their trauma on their own terms.
