Helping People Create Change: An Interview with Sybil Kolbert
19 JUN 2024 · Sybil Kolbert has always had a role in helping people create change, but its looked different over the years. She spent the first two decades of her career as a school psychologist, then she stepped into nonprofit work to help survivors rebuild after trauma. This is where she learned about trauma-informed care, and most importantly, about being trauma-informed - knowledge she wishes she'd had when she was working in education. Over eight years, she's learned how to steward the trauma she hears from the survivors she coaches. She's learned how to disciple with a fierce love and a loose grip. She's learned about the importance of teams and the human need for lament. She's learned how to rebuild, and how to help others rebuild.
Now Sybil is taking her knowledge and passion into churches, training them in the sometimes heavy work of helping others rebuild. Her dream? That churches in her central California community would be equipped to love others the way Jesus does.
Join us as we chat with Sybil - coach, writer, author (Finding Home is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C91H991D?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_K510J8G02JQ1E53HEA48_1), seminary student, wife, and mother of three young adults. To learn more about Sybil's work, or to contact her, go to her https://www.sybilkolbert.com/.Â
