We all face situations or challenges that feel disempowering making it easy for us to fall into the blame, complain and shame cycle instead of finding creative solutions to work with what is available to us and change the things we can.
This workshop gives us a framework for us to recognize when we’re caught up in the disempowering drama triangle and ways we can shift towards more empowering perspectives.
Practicing these shifts repeatedly over time, helps us to actually change the way we think and show up as we are now able to handle any challenge with greater ease. In an organizational setting, this translates to more effective communication, better productivity and an improved work environment.
This is a standout personal and professional leadership program that will literally change your life in terms of how you think and lead.

What You’ll Learn
- What is Drama and Why we Love it:
Awareness is the first step in making any changes happen. Without deeper knowledge and understanding of the impact of our way of thinking, we may either not realize that change is possible or not realize the need for change at all. - The Three Triggered Actors:
Now that you know what you know, the focus becomes on learning how we react based on our orientation and perspectives in terms of how we relate to others and situations. This awareness opens us up to the possibility that different perspectives are possible. - The Empowerment Dynamic®:
Then you get to learn about what becomes possible if you were to change things up and how to do that. You can feel more empowered and in control and create better outcomes for yourself. You’ll also get to practice choosing your approach vs simply being reactive. - Creating the Shift:
This is how you sustain these practices and become more consistent in your choice of creating better outcomes, which changes your game entirely. By now you would have taken the steps to change your mindset and are seeing the benefits with the results that you are getting.
