Drama Free Teams | Trauma-Informed Leadership for High-Performing Teams
Welcome to Drama Free Teams
Are you constantly absorbing your team’s stress, replaying difficult conversations in your head, or holding back in meetings just to keep the peace? If this sounds like you, you might be carrying the invisible weight of drama at work, and this podcast is for you.
Hi, I’m Dr. Annie Campanile, trauma-informed executive coach and former healthcare director. On Drama Free Teams, we go deeper than communication tips. We unpack the invisible dynamics that create drama at work and give you psychology-backed tools to lead with confidence, clarity, and connection (even during conflict).
Because leadership doesn't have to mean absorbing everyone’s stress, second-guessing every word, or sacrificing your work-life balance just to keep your team and your boss happy.
Each month, you’ll learn how to:
- Navigate difficult conversations with confidence
- Set healthy boundaries at work without guilt
- Build executive presence without having to “toughen up”
- Lead with compassionate and authentic leadership (not power plays)
- And stop choosing between being liked and being respected
