A Special Invitation from Thomas Hübl & Amy Elizabeth Fox
Kind greetings,
We are excited to be opening up our new one-year training for leadership professionals, The Trauma-Informed Consulting & Coaching Certificate Program.
This is an intensive, in-person and online training for consultants, executive coaches, transformational facilitators, and HR professionals who want to be at the forefront of their respective fields.
There is an emerging movement within the executive coaching field that recognizes the effects that individual and collective trauma have on the health, coherence and performance of leaders, teams and organizations.
As a response to this need, many of you have been asking for an advanced and intimate experience to become versed in trauma and its aftermath and for a way to upgrade your ability to provide relational restoration to your clients and the organizations they lead.
As a trained trauma-informed consultant and coach you will learn how trauma may have impacted your own life. You will refine your ability to understand and address the deepest drivers of less productive executive mindsets and behaviors. You’ll learn to effectively transform the dimensions of organizational culture that are contoured by trauma and its aftermath.
Inside this innovative program you will be taught by some of the foremost trauma and organizational development experts in the world who will share with you best-in-class frameworks and practices for personal and collective transformation so you can be at the leading edge of your profession.
Here is an overview of the program:
- An inaugural 5-day In-Person Retreat – Boston, MA, USA
- Three 4-day Online Retreats with Special Guest Faculty in the fields of Trauma, Organizational Development, and Collective Healing
- Access to a curated library with extensive resources by thought leaders in the fields of self-development, emotional intelligence, team dynamics, and organizational change
- Small-Group Supervision Sessions with experienced mentors
- Access to all videos, audios, and transcripts
- Certificate of Completion
By participating in the Trauma-Informed Consulting and Coaching Certification Program you will have a chance to understand the cutting edge of transformational leadership work and be in the leading wave of organizational understanding about the role of trauma and trauma healing in leadership development. We expect this domain of competency will significantly impact and inform organizational learning, coaching, and consulting in future years.
You can find all the details about the curriculum, faculty, dates, locations, and the application process on this page.
Please also make sure you sign up to watch the free, introductory session for more information.
We look forward to welcoming many of you into this the program. By attending this inaugural offering you will be part of an inspired group of practitioners who will help shepherd a new era of trauma-informed practices into the world today.
In appreciation,
Thomas Hübl
Founder, Academy of Inner Science

“The foundation of establishing your trauma-informed leadership lies in cultivating and deepening your presence.”
— Thomas Hübl
The Expanding Demand for More Trauma-Informed Consultants & Coaches
This first-of-its-kind program offers foundational trauma practices and literacy on how to address trauma dynamics within executive leaders, teams and organizational settings while also sharing the gold standard of transformational coaching and group facilitation.
Understanding our own trauma and the trauma that resides inside teams and organizations is often the ‘hidden elephant’ in the room. It can be the obstacle that silently sabotages the aims and shared mission of the group and derails many organizations from reaching their aspirations.
During the program we will learn and explore some of the following topics:
- How unrecognized trauma profoundly impacts the clients we serve and the groups we lead
- How we as coaches can help our clients become focal points for relationality, coherence building, and psychological safety
- Leading edge tools for the cultivation of presence, resilience and spaciousness that nurture self-growth and compassion
- How to engage more skillfully with team and community challenges, including the ability to recognize and respond more adequately to symptoms of trauma, stress from overcomittment, and a context of rapid change and uncertainty
- How to build a global movement to help organizational cultures become more trauma-informed and trauma sensitive
By becoming a trauma-informed consultant or coach, we are more able to help our clients to integrate the past, fulfill their full potential, and expand the possibilities for their leadership and to help the companies they guide by becoming more wholesome, intimate and thriving places to work.
The Three Primary Pillars: Expanding Your Impact in the World
As you choose the path of being a trauma-informed consultant or coach you will work to transform yourself, executives, teams, and organizations that you serve as well as the broader culture of business
#1 Deepening Your Relationship to ‘Self’
In order to serve as a transformational practitioner, it is important to start by examining your own inner life (emotions, beliefs, behaviors) and to focus on deepening your own healing path.
As we do the inner work to understand and address our own trauma we are able to bring a much greater presence to high stakes client interactions. In turn we heighten our sensing, observing, attuning, and intervention practices. We also develop practical skills and insights that we can offer as embodied wisdom to our clients.
The impact of trauma is often overlooked within leadership and by understanding your personal relationship to individual, ancestral, and collective trauma your awareness expands and new possibilities emerge for yourself and those you serve.
#2 Becoming Trauma Fluent
The program faculty includes many of the pioneering experts and researchers on understanding trauma and its aftermath. They will provide an orientation specifically designed for coaches and consultants: a survey of polyvagal theory and the neuroscience of trauma; examination of early childhood development and attachment; understanding the aftermath of adverse childhood experiences (ACE); understanding of the path of trauma healing personally and collectively.
The goal of this part of the training is to help you as a transformational practitioner to understand the symptoms of trauma at an individual, team. and organizational level, and to learn appropriate containment and attunement skills to help manage reactive and triggered moments.
Please note that this program should not be considered a substitute for advanced psychological training for addressing trauma in a therapeutic manner.
#3 Facilitating Change and Process Work for Executives, Teams and Organizations
Within teams and organizations we often see high levels of polarization, conflict and self-protection. These less optimal habits are often caused by an individual’s trauma that create reactive responses. This program helps practitioners to better respond to these unconscious habits and patterns in a way that can foster growth and learning.
Throughout the program we will look at how trauma is woven through the personal, organizational, and collective domains. Almost all of our larger societal structures, including the world of business, have been built upon layers of ignored trauma and driven by sets of unconscious agreements that are contorted by the aftermath of trauma.
Most culture change efforts in companies fail because they do not yet understand or address the powerful and large-scale impact of the trauma held by the organization’s leaders and employees. This program is part of a global wave in the business world to bring love back into business and to integrate healing into the repertoire of the organizational coach and consultant.
The Trauma-Informed Leadership Tool Kit:
Learn the Leading-Edge Methods, Practices & Transformation Frameworks For Helping Your Clients Address Trauma and its Aftermath in their own leadership behaviors, team dynamics and organizational culture
As a program participant you will learn a robust set of inner and outer tools and practices that you can use to lead and consult with individuals, teams and organizations.
Here are some of what we will be sharing with you inside the program:
What The Program Includes
An Inaugural 5-day In-person Retreat
THE REVERE HOTEL, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
This first opening retreat is a 5-day in-person immersive experience. We will establish an ethos for the program of generosity and mutual exploration during our time together.
Each day will begin with contemplative or movement practices and then include a mix of teachings, lectures, self-reflective exercises, small group practices, triads and other experiential dimensions of healing work. The sessions will also include live demonstrations where the lead faculty will work with participants in front of the group.
We will establish a global community and will seed friendships to enable ongoing conversations to carry forward in our year-long journey together. The intent is that many of these global peer relationships will continue on long after the training is complete so that we can continue to be a positive influence in the industry.
March 3–8, 2024
Three 4-day Online Retreats Including Guest Faculty Sessions
During our online retreats we will go deep into the theory and practices to become a trauma-informed consultant and coach. We will cover foundational understanding for literacy in trauma healing in tandem with refining our collective understanding of transformational facilitation and coaching.
The online retreats will include presentations by world-class experts in trauma and organizational change work, small breakout sessions, live Q&A sessions, and opportunities for one-to-one connections to virtually meet other students from around the globe.
You can participate from anywhere in the world. All sessions will be recorded and available for playback if you would like to re-watch some sessions at a later time.
Online Practitioner Resource Library and Portal
All participants will receive access to an extensive curated library of practitioner resources in key topics related to transformational practices. This also includes a special section on trauma-informed practices with proprietary material from the pioneering international Collective Trauma Summit. It will also include the archives of Thomas’s extensive teaching on relational attunement and the mystical principles of healing.
Small-Group Supervision Sessions with Mentors
Each participant will be connected to a small group of around 20 students that will meet with a seasoned mentor in between the retreats. These groups will meet to deepen their engagement with the core content, share their experiences with the assigned practices, and to debrief the retreat and online session content.
These mentoring circles will also offer light supervision to explore client cases as participants learn to integrate the program’s content into their practice as a coach or consultant as well as to help everyone to prepare for the next retreat.
Private Membership Site with Downloadable Audio, Video, and Worksheets from our Retreat and Online Sessions
Private Professional Online Community
Participants in the program will have access to a private social network to communicate with others in the group. We will also post news and updates directly into the group and maintain an active calendar of additional professional development opportunities relevant to the themes of the training.

Looking forward to witness the humane leadership impact that will result.”
