From Drama to Empowerment: Understanding Group Dynamics
Group dynamics are always shifting - sometimes in flow, sometimes stuck in unhelpful patterns. As facilitators, we’ve all experienced teams working at their best, where collaboration feels effortless. But we’ve also encountered groups where drama, power struggles, and unspoken scripts get in the way.
Many of us are familiar with Stephen Karpman’s Drama Triangle (Persecutor, Rescuer, Victim), but few know about David Emerald’s Empowerment Triangle (Challenger, Coach, Creator). Recognising these patterns, and understanding how to shift from drama to empowerment can be transformational in our work.
If you are interested in exploring this more, do join us for our upcoming Online Learning Lab, Games People Play, on Thursday 27th March. This session will explore how we unconsciously adopt certain roles and scripts in group settings, and how awareness can help us create more empowering dynamics.
Date: Thursday, 27 March
Time: 1:00 – 4:30 PM (online)
Cost: £80 members | £115 non-members
This learning lab is perfect for facilitators, coaches, and leaders who want to deepen their understanding of relationship dynamics and learn practical ways to work with these patterns.
