Drama is everywhere. Whenever you’re dealing with people, drama has a way of showing up. From a passive-aggressive email to that one friend who can’t seem to show up without news of their latest crisis, drama has a way of seeping into our lives before we even realize it’s there. What if you could recognize drama sooner, sidestep the stress and turn tension into connection? Drama doesn’t discriminate. In this interactive session, we’ll call out the sneaky ways that drama feeds conflicts and explore how to shut it down. You’ll get a crash course on the Drama Triangle and learn how to shift into a more empowered, drama-free way of engaging with the people around you. Through personal stories, humor and the practice of proven practical strategies, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective and tools you can use immediately to improve your relationships—at work, at home and anywhere else you encounter humans. You will learn: * What’s wrong with drama * What is (and isn’t) drama * The three roles people play in the drama triangle and why * How to get other people (and yourself) to avoid drama and get out of it faster when it can’t be avoided Challenge your default roles, hold each other accountable and turn down the drama so that you can show up more authentically for yourself and the people around you.
