Ep 163 – Reducing drama in your team with Rebekah Whitaker

    If you’ve noticed unhelpful patterns of behaviours playing out in your team or if you’ve got a tense relationship with a colleague then this week’s episode can provide insight into what’s causing those patterns.      My guest, leadership coach and podcast host Rebekah Whitaker shares why we get pulled into the ‘drama triangle’ and what we can learn from Transactional Analysis to understand ourselves and our relationships with others better.    Transactional Analysis is new to me so it was really interesting to understand the ‘drama triangle’ and reflect on how it plays out in the workplace and the role we can play as leaders in creating more positive behaviours and relationships.    In this episode Rebekah provides an introduction to this concept and I’m delighted that she’s running a workshop within Women Leading this autumn to bring the next level of insights into how leaders can reduce drama within their teams.    This is the Influence & Impact podcast for women leaders, helping you confidently navigate the ups and downs of leadership and feel less alone on your journey as a leader.     My name’s Carla Miller, I’ve been coaching leaders for the past 15 years and I’m your leadership bestie.  I’m here to remind you of the value to bring to your organisation, to help believe in yourself and to share practical tools and insights from myself and my brilliant guests that will help you succeed in your career.    Women Leading:  Come and join over 40 women in Women Leading – my community to help you lead without overwhelm.  It offers peer support calls, group coaching calls, regular menopause events and a live leadership and wellbeing workshop each month on topics including…    Managing an Overwhelmed Team  How and When to Coach Your Team  Reducing Drama in your Team  Giving Feedback Without Feeling Awkward    Find up more and sign up at https://www.carlamillertraining.com/womenleading     About Rebekah Whitacker:  Through Quest for EST Rebekah is on a mission to change the way that we approach leadership development, equipping leaders with skills to support them from the start of their leadership journey.
