Conversations that Make a Difference for Practitioners

“What a privilege to be a fly on the wall listening to these enriching, wise, insightful conversations. This is not a book of abstract theories that cannot be implemented in real life, it is a powerful compilation of conversations with leaders who share raw, honest insights into the application of trauma informed principles in their leadership roles. Lisa inspires us with her commitment to lead with deep love and care that does come at a cost. Her book offers a practical, deeply human guide to embedding these principles into everyday leadership. It is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to lead with authenticity, integrity, and lasting impact” - Betsy de Thierry, Consultant Psychotherapist, Author and Founder of Trauma Recovery Global and Trauma Recovery Centres “What I like about this book is the huge wealth of experience that it provides. Each chapter is focused on a different practitioner and rooted in different practice. The book places an emphasis on partnerships across sectors and is easy to dip in and out of for staff CPD. It truly is a welcome addition. Thank you.” - Andrew Moffat MBE, CEO of the No Outsiders charity “This is not a conventional leadership manual, but it is certainly a book every leader should read. The author’s motivation—to respond to a period of profound personal and professional upheaval, including a critical illness—adds a deeply human and powerful dimension to the work. This is a book of courage. It stands apart through its storytelling approach and the interviews and personal reflections offer not just insight, but connection. This is a heartfelt offering grounded in lived experience and it is both timely and necessary.” - Alison Kriel, Founder of Above & Beyond Education
