Creating Data-Driven Culture with Trauma-Informed Leadership (Non-CE)

Overview

Join Tristan Keelan, CEO of QI Folio, for a timely and practical session designed for professionals navigating the challenges of data sharing, analysis, and quality improvement in human services. This webinar will explore how trauma-informed leadership can foster psychological safety and transform your agency’s relationship with data.

Many teams feel pressure—or even fear—when engaging with performance measurement. This session will help you reframe those dynamics by introducing trauma-informed strategies that shift the narrative from “Why can’t you perform?” to “What’s happening that makes performance difficult?” Drawing from lived experience as a former Quality Improvement Director, Tristan will share actionable approaches to creating a culture where data becomes a tool for empowerment, collaboration, and growth—not judgment or punishment. Participants will learn how to recognize fear-based responses to data and implement tactics that build trust and safety around performance measurement.

Objectives

1. Understand the existing landscape that produces fear around data.
2. Learn the importance of, and tactical strategies, for creating safety around data and performance measurement.
3. Understand how trauma-informed principles can be operationalized throughout an agency around data and quality improvement activity.
