In a recent episode of the "Go Be Great" podcast, host Karena Calhoun sets the stage for a conversation that caters to women entrepreneurs looking for knowledge, inspiration, and the drive to empower themselves. Karena invites audience participation, fostering a community of proactive listeners. The episode features special guest Olivia Smith, who brings to light her impactful work with Healing Housing, a nonprofit dedicated to providing supportive housing for women on the path to overcoming addiction. Olivia delves into the critical role that addressing childhood trauma plays in addiction recovery and extends these insights into her business consulting services.
Karena commends Olivia for her genuine approach and encourages listeners to reach out to her for guidance or to initiate similar programs in their own locales. Olivia outlines her method of assisting business leaders in recognizing the influence of past trauma on their professional demeanor through behavioral assessments and tailored debriefings. She underscores the importance of self-awareness for leaders, positing that a deep understanding of oneself is essential for effective leadership.
The conversation also includes a case study where Olivia navigated a challenging business partnership marred by the partners' unresolved childhood traumas. This dynamic led to control issues and a lack of mutual understanding, hindering their business operations. Through Olivia's intervention, one partner learned to assert themselves while the other developed better listening skills and a collaborative spirit, marking progress in both their personal and professional spheres.
Olivia extends an invitation to podcast listeners to explore her website, where they can engage in a quiz to discern their DISC behavioral assessment style and gain insights on how varying styles can synergize within a team. Completing the full assessment can shed light on one's leadership qualities and the intricacies of team interaction. The episode underscores the value of self-improvement and the benefits of seeking professional support for those in leadership or team-based roles.
