Workplace drama, the gossip, the passive-aggressive emails, the same conflict resurfacing meeting after meeting, doesn't just feel exhausting. It quietly erodes trust, slows decisions, and drains the energy we and our teams need for real work.

Join WIM Washington for this interactive Lunch & Learn featuring ICF-certified executive coach and former Fortune 500 operations leader Jessica Garcia Dudek. Jessica will help attendees diagnose the root patterns behind workplace drama and provide practical, field-tested tools to interrupt it.

Participants will learn:

  • Two simple frameworks for spotting drama triggers
  • How to have the direct conversations most leaders avoid
  • Strategies for building a team culture rooted in candor and trust instead of tension and triangulation
