I’m excited to share Shannon Waller’s Team Success podcast. I met Shannon at Strategic Coach, a membership for business owners and entrepreneurs. In this podcast I talk about these things:
- The Karpman Drama Triangle consists of three roles:
- Victim: Feels powerless and blames others.
- Persecutor: Lashes out and is hard to get along with.
- Rescuer: Tries to fix everything for others.
- Denial: Added by Marlene in the center for Avoiders who say, “I don’t do drama.”
- People aren’t just one thing; they cycle through each regularly.
- Getting out of the drama triangle means becoming a Creator.
- Regulation Before Resolution:
- Regulating your emotions before approaching conflict allows you greater clarity, empathy, and a solution-oriented mindset.
- Emotional Awareness And Emotional Integrity:
- Accept that you have negative feelings.
- Represent yourself and your own feelings, not anyone else’s.
- Responsible Language:
- Ask questions.
- Speak to the vision.
- Focus on the outcome you want.
- Avoid generalization, blame, resentment, lack of choice, and justification.
- Radical Listening:
- Acknowledge the other person’s feelings
- Don’t try to solve their problem
