About The Book

Unlock the power of healing and resilience—Soul Leadership equips leaders to transform trauma into strength, creating healthier organizations and communities through practical strategies rooted in science and spiritual wisdom.

Is unprocessed trauma silently sabotaging your leadership? If so, everyone around you is paying the price.

When leaders break down, the fallout isn’t contained—it ripples through families, teams, organizations, and communities. Yet 87 percent of leaders carry unprocessed trauma that’s undermining their decision-making and actions every day, whether they recognize it or not.

Author, Dr. Steve Robinson, has discovered that experiencing trauma doesn’t make someone unfit to lead—but not addressing it can. Through years of experience leading a large organization and facing significant challenges, he developed powerful insights about stress, trauma, and resilience. In his personal healing journey, he also discovered a powerful key: post-traumatic growth.

Many leaders don’t realize they’re operating with traumatized and fragmented minds. They grind through challenges while living isolated, develop unhealthy coping mechanisms, and make critical decisions while emotionally dysregulated. The cost? Broken organizations, damaged relationships, and leadership failures that impact others.

This book offers a revolutionary framework called the Soul-Leadership Cycle that transforms unprocessed trauma into leadership strength. It’s not just about surviving—it’s about emerging stronger and wiser through adversity.

Inside this powerful guide, you will discover—

* The Trauma-Trigger Effect: Identify how unprocessed pain creates emotional landmines that explode in key leadership moments
* The Resilience Equation: Build resilience by increasing capacity before a crisis hits—and even afterward—through key relationships, physical and emotional health, and spiritual disciplines
* The Growth Model: Transform trauma into wisdom using neuroscience-backed techniques for rewiring the brain
* The Shalom Factor: Integrate the fragmented mind through biblical principles that restore wholeness
* Crisis-Response Protocols: Learn what to do when leaders or those they lead experience crisis-induced trauma

Too often, leadership books ignore the neurobiological reality of trauma. Dr. Robinson’s approach integrates groundbreaking research with time-tested spiritual wisdom. The result is a practical roadmap that works whether recovering from catastrophic events or the slow-building pressure of leadership demands.

The most powerful truth? As leaders heal, everyone they lead experiences the benefits. Personal transformation creates ripple effects that build healthier families, teams, and organizations.

For those ready to transform wounds into wisdom, stop letting past trauma hijack decisions, and create environments where people truly flourish—this book provides a blueprint to make it happen.

Read now and begin your healing journey that will shape the future of everyone you lead.
