Bouncing Back: Resiliency and Reconnection After Crisis
This session is offered as part of Collaborate Consulting’s Grounded Leadership series: workshops that sit at the intersections of professional development and mental health.
Helping teams regroup, reconnect, and rebuild after disruption
When a workplace experiences profound loss—whether through the passing of a colleague, organizational restructuring, layoffs, or another form of disruption—it leaves more than a logistical gap. It leaves emotional debris: confusion, grief, disconnection, and uncertainty. And without space to process and recalibrate, teams can struggle to reestablish trust, morale, and cohesion.
Bouncing Back is a healing, forward-looking session that helps organizations recover after crisis. Rooted in evidence-based mental health practices and inspired by Brené Brown’s Rising Strong framework, this session offers a path toward meaningful reconnection and collective resilience.
Co-led by Trystan Reese, a certified Dare to Lead facilitator with extensive organizational development experience, and Jonathan Boland, a trauma-informed therapist and Navy veteran, this session holds space for both reflection and rebuilding.
Participants will:
Make meaning of the disruption by exploring the shared and individual impact of the event.
Learn a grounded framework for post-crisis growth, centered around truth-telling, boundary-setting, and self-compassion.
Build tools for navigating emotional fallout, such as shame, guilt, anger, or fear.
Create a shared plan for reconnection, so the team can move forward with clarity, cohesion, and renewed purpose.
This session is ideal for organizations who want to honor the emotional complexity of what their teams have experienced—while also investing in their long-term strength and solidarity. Because resilience isn’t about “bouncing back” to how things were—it’s about bouncing forward, together.
