THE  HUMAN FACTOR

Welcome to The Human Factor, the official blog of Logos Insights.
Here, we explore what it means to live and work well — to lead, create, and heal with awareness and compassion.

Each post blends neuroscience, counseling models of wellness, and trauma-informed insight to help individuals and organizations across Iowa and beyond build resilience, regulate emotions, and reconnect with meaning.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Leadership & Workplace Culture — trauma-informed strategies for psychological safety, employee engagement, and values-driven leadership.

  • Resilience & Emotional Regulation — stories, science, and simple practices for healing and growth.

  • Human Connection — reflections on creativity, belonging, and how relationships restore balance in times of fear or uncertainty.

Every article is designed to meet you where you are — whether you’re a professional navigating burnout, a leader trying to create healthier teams, or an individual learning to live with more presence and self-compassion.
