If You’re Experiencing…
Team tension or emotional burnout
Frustration from circular or draining conversations
Silent disengagement or emotional undercurrents
A pull into patterns you don’t want to perpetuate
…it’s time to reset.
Drama drains teams. Clarity transforms them.
Drama isn’t just loud conflict or office politics. It’s the silent disengagement in meetings, the unspoken tension in emails, the stress spiral that keeps leaders up at night. It shows up in sideways comments, strained dynamics, and our own reactive thoughts that echo long after the conversation ends.
If you’re a leader or manager, you know this terrain. You’ve felt:
The heaviness of a team meeting clouded by unspoken emotion
The exhaustion of managing others’ reactivity—while trying to regulate your own
The pull into patterns, narratives, and conversations that don’t serve you or your goals
Program Goals – Detach from Drama This program equips leaders and coaches to:
Recognize when team member is caught in drama, such as:
Defensiveness
Emotional reactivity
Rigid or unproductive narratives
Respond with clarity and calm, creating space for the other person to reflect instead of react
Avoid absorbing emotional intensity, while still offering presence and support
Redirect energy away from drama and toward insight, growth, and forward motion
Hold steady when others are overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally activated
Guide direct reports out of drama loops without minimizing their experience
Support others in regulating their emotions, building self-awareness, and taking ownership
Facilitate conversations that reduce emotional tension, rebuild trust, and refocus the team
What You'll Gain You’ll leave this program with:
✔️ Practical tools to support others in regulating emotions during moments of pressure or stress
✔️ Clear, compassionate language to coach people out of drama without absorbing it yourself
✔️ Skills to recognize and reframe the narratives others are stuck in, helping shift mindsets and behaviors
✔️ Strategies to influence your team’s emotional tone and move group dynamics toward trust and stability
✔️ The ability to hold space for emotional complexity without becoming part of the tension
Program Breakdown
Week 1-The Nature of Drama
Learn how drama shows up in your team—not just in conflict or complaints, but in subtle emotional patterns like withdrawal, blame, or passive resistance. Explore the common entry points of drama (a thought, event, or experience) and how individuals unconsciously reinforce these cycles.
Week 2-Meaning Making
Understand how team members assign meaning to experiences, feedback, and relationships—often shaped by their personal narratives, assumptions, or emotional filters. Learn how to help others challenge unproductive interpretations, shift limiting beliefs, and explore alternative perspectives.
Week 3-Emotions
Recognize the emotional cues that signal when someone is overwhelmed, activated, or shutting down. Learn how to coach others through emotional intensity using grounding techniques, reflective listening, and emotional naming. Help team members pause, process, and re-engage with greater emotional clarity and confidence—especially during moments of stress or interpersonal tension.
Week 4-Internal Storytelling
Uncover the internal stories your team members are telling themselves—stories about who they are, what others think, and what’s possible. Learn how to surface these narratives with curiosity, not critique, and guide individuals in reframing unhelpful scripts into more empowered, constructive ones. Support them in shifting from victimhood or reactivity into ownership and agency.
Week 5-Emotional Contagion
Learn how to read and regulate the emotional energy of a group. Understand how one person's stress or reactivity can impact an entire team—and how your presence, language, and boundaries can interrupt emotional spirals. Develop strategies to hold space for others without taking it on, and build a team culture rooted in psychological safety, stability, and trust.

Who This Is For
✔️ People Leaders and Managers who are guiding teams through tension, transition, or emotional turbulence

Why Now?
Because the emotional weight on teams is growing—and leaders are expected to carry it.
People are tired. They’re navigating change, fatigue, uncertainty, interpersonal strain, and the emotional aftermath of years of disruption. And while strategy and execution still matter, what teams need most right now is a leader who can help them feel steady, seen, and supported.
Drama shows up in subtle but costly ways:
• Teams stuck in unproductive narratives
• Emotional reactivity that derails conversations
• Tension that saps trust and engagement
• Silence where there should be collaboration
And here's the reality: traditional leadership tools aren’t enough anymore. Telling people to “stay professional” or “focus on the work” doesn’t address the emotional friction that lives under the surface. In fact, ignoring it makes it worse.
What’s needed now is not more control, but more emotional fluency.
Leaders must be able to recognize when a team is caught in drama—and know how to respond without being pulled into it.
Ready to Lead Without the Drama?
Join a community of grounded, growth-minded leaders and step into a new kind of leadership—one rooted in awareness, emotional agility, and the clarity that drama can’t shake.
