NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- One of Nashville's best kept secrets is Elizabeth Power's work. A long-time educator and Human Resources Development specialist, you may have never heard of her.
But she's THE person the Japanese looked to for help in creating their model of trauma-informed care, and of trauma-responsivity. And she's taught trauma-informed processes to over 110 client-serving agencies in the last two decades (about 1200 people annually), trauma-responsive teaching to teachers, and trauma-informed customer service to people who work in call centers.

Master Change, Master Life
Come March, she'll be offering the key skills for making and managing change through the trauma-responsive lens as she debuts "The CHANGE Event: Master Change, Master Life," March 27-29. Sponsored by her new venture, The Trauma Informed Academy, it combines key skills in emotional intelligence and trauma recovery with personal change management.
Did we mention this Vanderbilt graduate in Education is an Adjunct Instructor in Psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical Center? Published in medical journals? Power laughs at being unknown in her hometown of Nashville.
"Actually, it's offered me freedom I've enjoyed. I can dress exactly as I choose—which is sometimes overalls and a t-shirt," she says, "and I can be much more me than a lot of publicity sometimes allows. I enjoy just digging in my garden, walking around Radnor, and being very everyday plain."
No more. She's bringing her chickens home to roost, as they say, even though she'll probably still dress as she pleases especially when she's in her backyard garden.
If you were around in the early 1980s, you might have heard her talk about change, and how choice is the only antidote. If you were around in the early 1990s, you might have heard or seen her talk about trauma and dissociation.
Between then and now, Power has developed a client list in corporate America and in healthcare that is the envy of many consultants. Her original firm, EPower & Associates, became known for evidence-informed adult learning, and for creating usable materials to help people replicate specific treatments for trauma. Now she's bringing change back to the forefront.
"Traumatic experiences are certainly change. Recovery and healing require yet more change. And all the fancy theories miss a lot of the easy strategies folks can use to catapult their healing. Sometimes we make things harder than they need to be," Power notes. "Many folks really do require therapy, and many can't afford it or can't get an appointment. Everyone can learn."
She's launching her newest two-day program, "Master Change, Master Life" on March 27—blending easy change management skills from her work with her work in helping people grow beyond trauma by mastering change. "The perfect combination," a recent participant said, "of emotional intelligence and trauma-informed practices."

“We’re in the golden age of Canadian wines,” legendary wine writer Tony Aspler tells me confidently. We are at an intimate showcase of the stuff at the Canadian consulate in Hong Kong’s Quarry Bay neighbourhood, where representatives of nine wineries have gathered to prove that the true north has more than ice wine to offer. As a wine drinker with no particular bias – I will happily quaff a funky Austrian pét-nat (sparkling wine) as much as a fine Burgundy – it was natural for me to enter with...

Nearby, the narrow streets of Souq Waqif begin to fill with families, friends and visitors settling in for the evening.
