ali smith trauma informed coach
Hi, I’m Ali Smith, coach, EMDR therapist, inspirational speaker, corporate
trainer. I’m on a mission to educate and empower both individuals and
organisations. I use a trauma-informed approach in my one to one sessions and
workshops , providing education on tackling workplace wellbeing and stress at
work After almost losing my life to a terrorist attack some years ago, I
believed that my experience would lead me to my purpose. As an inspirational
speaker I share my journey to recovery with the aim of raising awareness on
PTSD. After years of experience working in the pharmaceutical and healthcare
sectors, I noticed a need for increased focus on employee training initiatives
around managing stress at work . Workplace wellbeing has now become a priority
in our post-pandemic world I became a best-selling author in 2019 after
documenting my journey to recovery after CPTSD. Alongside my 1 to 1 client
sessions and speaking engagements, my trauma awareness training for
organisations and business coaches has been designed to equip leaders to improve
employee collaboration and reduce staff absence I’m comfortable talking about
stress and trauma. Trauma is NEVER about the event but always about the internal
process as a result of the event Understanding how we can manage our own
internal experience helps us to reframe our lives and manage stress at work In a
highly traumatised society , I’d like to see everyone willing to engage in these
conversations . We need to be talking openly about trauma if we are to move
forwards as a collective “Take what was your past and light it as a bonfire to
be a beacon of light for others to gravitate to”
