Morning Jolt with WoTech

This session kicks off a two-part series. Part 1: Trauma’s hidden effects on individuals and organizations are far-reaching—impacting well-being, productivity, and the bottom line. Yet, it’s often misunderstood and overlooked. In this session, Anita Roach shares her personal story, research, and trauma-informed frameworks to reframe trauma not as personal weakness, but as a physiological response to unsafe systems. She offers practical insights and simple interventions to support healthier, more human-centered workplaces. As a trauma survivor herself, Anita approaches these complex topics with empathy and care.

Part 1 Agenda:

• Defining trauma and its universal impact
• How systems optimized for speed—not safety—create harm
• Gen Z’s unique vulnerabilities
• Building systems that support the whole human 
• The impact on women and marginalized communities
• The “Compassionate Why” – a small but powerful first step toward change
• Q&A and closing reflections

Join us for “Trauma’s Invisible Impact on Women, the Workplace, and the World” to challenge assumptions, build awareness, and take the first step toward a more compassionate workplace.
