Overview

Does your workday feel like a never-ending episode of reality TV?
One minute it’s gossip in the breakroom. The next, it’s a passive-aggressive email, a hijacked meeting, or a full-blown conflict over something that should’ve taken five minutes to solve. If you feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells or putting out emotional fires, you're not alone — and you're not imagining it.
Workplace drama is silently destroying productivity, morale, and trust.
It drains energy, fractures teams, and creates an environment where the loudest voices dominate while others shut down. Over time, high performers burn out, relationships deteriorate, and business suffers.
Drama shows up in many forms:
  • Gossip and side conversations that divide teams
  • Constant personality conflicts and tension
  • People who bulldoze others  or disappear under pressure
  • Passive-aggressive behavior that creates confusion and resentment
  • Meetings driven by ego instead of collaboration
  • A general atmosphere of stress, fear, and emotional exhaustion
Unchecked, drama becomes cultural  and contagious. Even level-headed, competent people begin to mirror toxic behaviors just to survive the day. That’s when organizations start losing their best talent and strongest leaders. The emotional cost is real, and the professional consequences are even bigger.
When dysfunction becomes the norm, it’s easy to feel frustrated, helpless, or even cynical. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Area Covered

  • Identifying drama before it becomes destructive
  • Disentangling from drama-filled situations
  • The 3 roles people play in every drama
  • The sometime subtle and nuanced language used by people playing each role

•    Reclaim your focus
•    Protect your energy

If you're tired of tiptoeing around dysfunction, feeling drained by emotional politics, or watching strong teams fall apart because of unspoken tension — this session is for you.

You’ll walk away with real-world strategies you can use immediately, not theory or fluff.
Even small changes in how you respond to drama can have a big ripple effect on your team, your performance, and your peace of mind. This course is practical, actionable, and designed to help you lead by example — regardless of your title.
