Bring STRONG, Trauma-Informed Leadership to Your Team
Leadership Rooted in Lived Experience
As a veteran, speaker, and trauma-informed leadership trainer, I don’t just teach theory—I’ve lived the leadership journey that begins after the mission ends.
I know what it’s like to carry the weight of service, navigate systems that weren’t built for our complexity, and step into roles where emotional intelligence isn’t optional—it’s essential.
“STRONG leadership isn’t just a framework—it’s a future-forward approach for people who lead from the head and the heart.”
- Siobhan Cunningham, LCSW
That’s why I work with organizations that are ready to go deeper. My approach blends lived experience with evidence-based strategies to help teams lead with compassion, cultural competence, and clarity—even in high-stress, high-impact environments.
Whether you’re supporting women veterans, developing your behavioral health staff, or strengthening nonprofit leadership, I bring frameworks that move people and create lasting change.
I Serve & Speak For:
-
Equip your clinicians, peer supporters, and case managers with tools that reduce burnout and increase emotional intelligence.
-
Bring trauma-informed, respectfully grounded leadership practices into your programs and team culture.
-
Help your staff manage compassion fatigue and lead with empathy and boundaries.
-
Teach your teams how to lead with clarity, confidence, and compassion—without sacrificing accountability.
Signature Talks & Trainings:
-
For women veterans navigating identity, grief, and leadership after service.
This keynote speaks directly to the transition few talk about: who you are after the uniform comes off. Filled with honesty, heart, and humor, I unpack what it means to lose community, identity, and mission, while exploring how to rebuild each one with purpose.
Ideal for conferences, community groups, or veteran-serving organizations looking to center lived experience and resilience in their programming.

Trauma-Informed Strategies for High-Stress Teams
This session is designed for high-pressure teams who are expected to lead through trauma, transition, and tight timelines—often without enough support.
You’ll learn how to foster a resilient, emotionally intelligent culture using trauma-informed practices that center safety, trust, and sustainable leadership.
The STRONG™ Model will help your team communicate better, navigate change with clarity, and show up as leaders without losing themselves in the process.
-
For clinicians, case managers, and peer supporters working with veterans and military families.
Designed for front-line helpers, this training offers a deeper understanding of military culture, family dynamics, and the barriers to trust in treatment.
We cover trauma-informed communication, emotional regulation, and rapport-building—grounded in both lived experience and clinical practice. Your team will leave with tools to lead, listen, and support without burning out.

Creating Emotionally Safe Cultures in Complex Workplaces
