What we cover

Context versus Content. Paying attention to context is the key to a drama free life.

Leading from Trust Vs. Fear. This distinction is at the heart of all repeating drama patterns. Understanding this model immediately shifts the effectiveness of conversations and reduces stress.

The 4 Questions of Conscious Leadership. Four key questions designed to help you build self awareness and become a more conscious leader.

The 15 Commitments. This model outlines behaviors and beliefs that are the most significant limiting factors for a team. The primary focus is on the cornerstone commitments 1 and 2.

The Drama Triangle. The Triangle roles of Victim, Villain, and Hero describe the go-to positions that create and perpetuate drama and limit organizational growth and creativity.

Willingness to Shift. We cover the difference between wanting to shift and being willing to shift. We provide willingness questions to help teams discover if they’re actually willing to shift the issues they say they want to change.

Shift Technologies. We introduce simple tools that you can immediately put into action in the midst of challenging interactions to change the dynamic and outcome by shifting from threat to trust.‍
