Restful Leadership resides in the intersection of rest, liberation work, and leadership. This approach allows us to build lives we don't have to escape from while planning our collective escape. 

The what ...

 

Social impact leaders are TIRED! We have been navigating a world on fire for far too long. This has left many of us burnt out, burned through and simply exhausted.

The prolonged trauma we have collectively experienced has led to a global exhaustion epidemic.  The world desperately needs impactful leaders to guide us into tomorrow. The reimagining, creativity, innovation and action we need won't come from a place of fatigue or overwhelm.

Are you are an ambitious, high performing leader who feels overwhelmed and is often left carrying the load at work?

Do you want to make a difference in this world without sacrificing yourself?  Are you searching for ways to make work  more sustainable for your teams?

Restful Leadership is the place where you rediscover your purpose, reclaim your joy and redefine your peace.  Here, you will  find new ways of leading in trauma-informed, human center and restful ways.

The how ...

Led by Dr. Stacey Chimimba Ault, and empowered by RAGE (race and gender equity) Restful Leadership is an anti-racist, trauma informed, and human centered approach to being well at work and in life.  It enhances leadership skills and centers rest practices that drastically improve our overall wellbeing.

The Restful Leadership framework centers rest as an integral liberatory practice that equips individuals to prioritize and transform themselves, their teams and their organizations.

Rather than solely focus on Equity Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) efforts that can be unsustainable and performative, Restful Leadership takes a more holistic approach in engaging the entire organization in designing a workplace that strives to achieve an ambitious mission and prioritize rest. It recognizes that social impact work can be traumatizing, especially for the QTBIPOC* folks that lead. 

 

Restful Leadership centers your unique lived experiences and offers you tools as you reimagine your relationship with work, and integrate your personal and professional lives, so you can lead us into tomorrow.

Rooted in research, we capture stories and lived experiences of social impact leaders throughout the world, in order to learn, share and build community.

*QTBIPOC: Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous and other People of Color
