Drama is the mismanagement of conflict and diverts energy precious away from connection and results. Conflict itself, however, isn't the problem. Conflict, when managed properly, can provide considerable energy for positive outcomes. Drama Resilience is a person's capacity to use conflict in productive vs. destructive ways, and can be reliably measured. 

This session will apply new research on how Compassionate Accountability can help leaders build their drama-resilience by applying an evidence-based method for engaging conflict in a way that affirms the value, capability, and responsibility of all parties involved. Leave with new insight for quantifying and developing drama-resilience, and a template for turning conflict into new opportunities for trust, innovation, and impact.
