Helping People Move from Trauma to Growth

Richard Tedeschi, a psychology professor and distinguished chair of
the Boulder Crest Institute, says that crises like the Covid-19
pandemic and its economic fallout as well as the recent racial
violence and social unrest in the United States, can yield not just
negative but also positive outcomes for individuals, teams,
companies, industries, communities and nations. He has spent
decades studying this phenomenon of post-traumatic growth and
identified strategies for achieving it as well as the benefits that
can accrue, from better relationships to the discovery of new
opportunities. Tedeschi is the author of the HBR article "Growth
After Trauma."
