It’s time for R.E.A.L. Leaders

Let’s be honest. Things haven’t been the same since 2019. Traumatic experiences have increased, employees have low resilience and high burnout, teams need new skills and tools to deal with adversity while working, “PRODUCTIVITY” and “Meeting the BOTTOM Line” are no longer sustainable goals for business and organizational success. That’s why the workplace needs **R.E.A.L. leaders**!
**Recognize:** Leaders acknowledge the reality of traumatic experiences and their impact on employees' well-being and performance.
**Experience:** Leaders gain insights into the challenges and experiences faced by their teams.
**Accept:** Leaders accept the need for change and adopt a trauma-informed approach to leadership.
**Learn:** Leaders learn new skills, knowledge, and tools needed to support their teams effectively.

Testimonials

Testimonial

Vernisha's work was crucial to the success of this initiative. We were able to offer training and raise awareness for our cause which we ourselves do not have the administrative capacity to successfully execute alone. Vernisha is a consistent, hard-working professional and above all-inclusive team player.

— Elizabeth Winer, Founder and Trustee of the Winer Family Foundation

Vernisha has been a tremendous partner in helping to design and facilitate our engagement process with nine schools in Mecklenburg County. She brings a unique perspective and skill set to the project which we could not have done as well without her at the table. Vernisha is also very responsive and delivers what she says she will on time.

— Carol Morris, Former Asst. Director at Robinson Center of Civic Leadership

For the last four years, Vernisha Crawford and her company have served as trainer and project lead on youth engagement. She worked with our local nonprofits on understanding the importance of youth voice and how to let youth lead. She worked with our youth on organizing a day of advocacy and listening campaigns. Vernisha is exceptional at working with youth and adults and finds the balance in engaging both to ensure an effective but youth-owned product. She was always professional with meeting deliverables on time and worked independently with little guidance. She is a passionate leader for transformative change
