Healing Leadership Trauma with Dr. Nicholas and Sheila Wise Rowe
On November 19, Dr. Nicholas Rowe, Kenneth and Jean Hansen associate professor of leadership, and his wife, Sheila Wise Rowe, will release their first co-authored book, Healing Leadership Trauma: Finding Emotional Health and Helping Others Flourish.
This new resource is for all leaders, especially those who feel isolated and weary from bearing the burdens of their roles and past trauma alone. Healing Leadership Trauma provides “encouragement, prayer, and therapeutic tools to help leaders face their pain and begin to heal,” according to the publisher, InterVarsity Press.
Dr. Rowe will also be teaching a course this spring titled Leadership Trauma: Healing and Recovery (CL/CO637) for those who wish to explore this topic further.
