Terisa Tamang, Founder, President and Counselor of Dhairya Cancer Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“From Nepal to a global stage!
Honored to be invited as a speaker at ‘The Heart of Leadership: Emotional Intelligence in Action’ organized by JCI North Jersey, USA.
I spoke on Deep Self-Awareness and Trauma-Informed Emotional Awareness, sharing perspectives shaped by my work with cancer patients, caregivers, and communities through Dhairya Cancer Foundation in Nepal.
Coming from a context like Nepal, where mental health is still deeply stigmatized and often under-recognized, this global conversation felt especially meaningful.
Trauma-informed leadership is not optional, it is essential. When leaders understand emotions and lived experiences, they create safer, more compassionate spaces for people to heal and grow.
Grateful for this opportunity to represent grassroots mental health work from Nepal and to be part of a meaningful international dialogue on emotionally intelligent leadership. ”
