What if everything you thought you knew about keeping your team safe was only scratching the surface? We tend to think of security as firewalls, access badges, and maybe an active shooter protocol — but what about the emotional, psychological, and spiritual safety of the people who give so much of their lives to your organization?

Jessica Robinson, Executive Officer of PurePoint International, joins us to reshape your entire paradigm of what it means to protect a team. Her approach — holistic security — goes far beyond cybersecurity as usual, encompassing digital, physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and environmental dimensions of safety. We explore her remarkable origin story (the call to protect showed up at age five), the vision that came to her during a pilgrimage in Nepal, why the balance of feminine and masculine energy is central to real security, and why leading from a higher level of consciousness isn't optional for the next 25 years. Whether you lead a nonprofit, a social justice organization, a political office, or any team of people you care about — this conversation will change how you think about your duty of care.

Highlights

• Jessica knew security was her calling as early as age five — from Carmen Sandiego to the safety patrol to reading every Nancy Drew book in the school library
• A near-death experience during a pilgrimage in Nepal led to the founding of PurePoint International in 2012
• Holistic security is like holistic medicine — it blends digital, physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and environmental security into one framework
• The work is especially vital for communities carrying the greatest risk: social justice organizations, religious minorities, first-time public office candidates, reproductive health organizations, and immigration organizations
• PurePoint's approach is co-creative and collaborative rather than top-down — clients help shape the process
• COVID in 2020 and global events in 2024 both sparked waves of increased consciousness around holistic safety — and the next wave may come around 2028
• Jessica is pursuing a PhD to build the academic foundation for holistic security as a new field — there is currently no scholarship on this topic
• The vision: an entire generation of leaders 25 years from now who practice holistic security at every level, from community organizations to the United Nations
